EAT, DRINK and GET DOWN... then log it.

Okay, so I've been busy with the life.

What I did yesterday was fabulous. No, I didn't go out and buy more CD's or rock it out at some dancing place (god I love dancing...), no no, I set up an EATRACKER.

See folks, eating is a bit of a pain for me. Not just in the literal sense, but also in the emotional sense. I hate eating. I love eating, but I hate it. I have this stomach condition, by no means life ending or whatever, but certainly um, well, shitty. Pardon the pun.

So, years ago, I had gone to a nutritionist after I got my thyroid confirmed as malfunctioning as well as all 36 feet (or whatever) of the digestive tract - so that I could get everything back on track... ahem. So, I had this amazing diligent diet that I followed, I felt amazing, I did yoga, I looked beautiful, felt beautiful and well, now I feel like CRAP because I haven't been following said plan for oh, nearly a year now. So yesterday (and today too! and hopefully all the days after!) I started my sojourn back into healthy living.

The first place we all need to look at is what we stick inside our bodies. What do I feed myself? This eatracker allows me to imput all food and activities that I had consumed or performed (can you consume activities and perform food?) and I get a little report that tells me what I need more of, less of, etc. It's kind of daunting when you write down every single thing you eat. You forget that you snacked here, and snacked there - and my god, what you ATE!? No wonder I have a god forsaken gut problem. Geeze.

I am approaching thirty (well, sort of... more like 28), and have accepted that I am not going to get younger looking skin (unless I get it grafted on) and that my metabolism is not going to be what it used to be. So, I can sit here and lament the crappy situation or I can accept that I am needing to make some changes, and make changes that are realistic to who I am and maintain the things that are important and or enjoyable to me within reason (hey, I LIKE beer, I LIKE Rye and I LIKE Gingerale and I am going to drink it, just not every other day).

So, a little at a time.
