With trying to eat better, and remembering I am not perfect, I have tried to cut back on many different things. I wanted to start weeding out the things that I tend to eat or drink the most of during an average week. I have stopped drinking coffee for about 4 weeks now! I know coffee is not like drop dead terrible for you, but I wanted to replace it with something that offered something more than just caffeine to my system, so I switched back to tea, which thankfully I enjoy as well.
I used to drink one diet coke a day, and sometimes two on the weekends. I have now dropped that to once a week. I once went 46 days without a diet coke, so I know I can wean completely off of it, but I wanted to take it slow, I mean come on, let's not go crazy all at once right? Ha ha!
And then there is candy, sweet, delicious, sugar induced coma....candy. I think, at least nearly every day, I probably consumed some type of candy each day. I can safely say that I have drastically cut back on the candy and goodies to about twice a week.
How am I accomplishing this? Simple. I try to read a few pages out of the Gerson Therapy to scare the living crap out of me, so that I will eat healthier. That's how!
I recently just joined a local Fruit/Organic/Food Co-op. I am extremely excited to try it out. For instance since I am juicing more, I can buy about 20 lbs of organic apples for 20 bucks. You would be amazed how quickly you will go through produce when you juice and that is an awesome deal on organic apples. I hear that in the summer the prices get better while the fruit is in season.
Some day, I hope to really be eating even more healthy than I am now. It keeps surprising me how difficult it is to achieve what should seem to be a much easier task than it really is, but I hope to get there soon!
