It all happens for a reason. Even if we never understand the reasons why.

Today, Forever21 is having a deal where 100% of your purchase is being donated to aid Japan.

Don’t shop there?

You could always buy your brother’s girlfriend, whom you do not like, a cheap sweatshirt for Christmas. Not that I’d ever do anything like that…

I’ve never stepped foot in Forever 21, but this is pretty awesome.

Send love to Japan!

My Vice

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 12:08:42 -0500

Well there you have it. I drink way too much of it; or at least I used to. It’s so bad for me, but I love it. It was my one splurge in my constant effort to be conscious of what I eat. But, of course, it too is bad for me. Although it has a label that consists of mostly 0, studies are showing that diet soda has it’s own adverse effects. So, although nothing is conclusive, I know the amount of soda I dink is not good for me.

The other problem that I have is that the soda ends up replacing water in my life. This is bad news. Not enough water has the opposite effect on weight loss, so I have to fix this.

So the newest rule in my life is this:

A gallon of water a day before drinking any soda.

Yes, a gallon is a lot, but this has been the perfect rule so far. If I aim for a gallon I end of drinking the amount of water I need in a day even if I fall short. And, I only get on the days that I’ve had enough water so that one soda won’t matter too much.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

Food is the fuel our body needs to survive, but our society has turned eating into pleasure and eating what tastes the best. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like to eat things that taste good as much as the next person, but I’m going to work on taking into consideration what I’m putting into my body in addition to the taste. This takes me to my first goal.

1. Find things that taste good and that are real food.

With this I am going to first tackle my snacking habit. I’m going to try and keep my snacking to fruits, veggies, yogurt and nuts that I enjoy. Then slowly try and move it more and more into my daily eating habits. Which brings me to goal number two.

2. Treat meat as a special occasion food

Meat is not great for you, but it does have some dietary benefits. Thus, I don’t have to stop eating it completely, just in moderation. When I eat meat, it should be the leaner meats, and should be eaten 2-3 times are week as opposed to 2-3 times a day. This is a big step, because I love meat. So, first I’ll go to one time a day and then work to reduce it more and more. (Suggestions for good veggie options are VERY welcomed)

Let the journey begin. It’s not much yet, but it’s a start.

For the love of food and myself

Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:08:00 -0500

I love food. Actually I’m addicted to it, and even through I know it’s probably not a good thing, I’m finally starting to realize and admit it. I’ve decided to take a journey for myself to better my health through my diet. I want to find REAL and nutritious food.

I like to consider myself a relatively healthy person, but ever since moving away from home and eating campus food, I’ve found my dietary habits dwindling. I’m a rower on my college team and work out 6-7 days a week, but I’ve begun to realize this doesn’t mean I can eat whatever I want. Food is the body’s fuel, and as an athlete I often forget that. As long as I’m under my calorie intake for the day, I consider myself doing well. Through my recent reading, I’ve realized this is so far from the truth. Processed food is awful for me, and my soda intake, well I’ll leave that for another post. But all in all I’m going to try and work on eating more real food and less of the packaged products loaded with artificial chemicals and then injected with vitamins to be called “healthy food” when in reality it’s not real food. Body chemistry has a lot to do with what we eat, and depending on the balance of fat, sugar, protein, vitamins, etc. no matter how many or how few the calories, our intake of food can make us sick, fat, and even reducing our life expectancy. It’s scary and a little overwhelming, but my plan is to take small steps and eventually change the way I eat overall.

For now, I leave you with this, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” from Michael Pollen’s Food Rules. I think he said it best.

I heard Andrew Allen for the first time as the opener for a Joshua Radin concert last week. I’ve been loving his music ever since. Enjoy.
