healthy

Thanks so much to everyone for all of your compliments and advice regarding my haircut! I had my share of sobbing- it was actually kind of comical after a point. I'm liking it more now- but it still needs some touching up. I'm going to try to get that done tonight!

This weekend STUNK on the food side! Probably not too terrible, but bad compared to what I'm used to! David cooked an amazing dinner for us (which overlapped into lunch the next day, too). He made Jasmine rice, lightly fried Asian-inspired tofu, and a ginger-soy veggie mix. Oh my. I ate an entire block of tofu during the two meals. It was sooo good, I just couldn't keep my hands off of it! But there was quite a bit of oil.... ugh. My tummy definitely wasn't happy! Seriously, I felt like crap the last few days. My mood and body changed significantly. Blah!

David and I only get to see each other on weekends and certain other special times (such as government holidays, vacations, etc). Every time I am with him, I see it as a special time.. a time when I couldn't possibly continue to eat my normal ways. I usually stick with my good foods, too, but I adopt a lot of his choices and patterns when I am with him- such as cookies after dinner, extra bread and butter. I try really hard to negotiate, but some things we just can't agree on (brown rice for me, but he wants white..). So I continuously find myself ignoring what is good for me and making the decision to eat a lot, or to eat just like him. This is BAD, people!

I need to keep my healthy habits when I am with David. One, I want them to rub off on him. His health is so important to me-- I want him running around with me when we're 80! Two, I need to feel my very best with him- and eating healthy does that for me.
