Getting back in the "groove" of healthy.

Lack of internet is my excuse for my absence. My excuse for dropping the "healthier me"....80% lazy, 20% lack of funding. None of which is a viable reason for my ass getting bigger.

After moving back to the "OK" my mothers healthy food reliablity diminished. Therefor going back to picking up a bag of Oreos while grocery shopping...became easier. Also I just recently have been able to locate a health food store...of which i located about 45 minutes from my place of residence. not ideal.

Being back here means needing to make the tough decisions more often. The temptation of fried chicken, fried vegetables (not healthy, believe it or not) and beer in large quantities is at every corner.

Having said this...I have recently lowered my standards in the employment pull and started working as a server at an Italian restaurant. This SCREAMS back away...number one rule of working anywhere with food, dont like the food you serve , you will eat it.

Setting myself up for failure. Maybe.

I have found a new, healthy side dish. Sweet Potato fries, cooked in EVOO and drizzled with organic grade A Maple syrup. Delish.

Moving back here in the winter has also put a damper on the physical activity. I love my "jocks" (jog/walks) with Avery. But that's weather permitting. So I have started workout dvd's. Can we say cliche? Salsa, line dancing, yoga and pilates in my living room is somehow less motivating. Weird, I know.
