I think I've eaten more celery and cucumbers in the last week than i have in my whole life. I didn't realize how often I munch on things until I forced myself to look for alternatives to the chips and cookies that they keep in the kitchen here. I guess it helps that they're cutting back costs and now all we have here is granola bars, yogurt and string cheese. I haven't been able to find much time to exercise but I think I've been taking the right steps toward eating better, which is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. When you get busy, it's easy to just grab whatever. I find that I have to plan a little more if I want to eat things that are good for me. I cut up my vegetables right when I buy them and put them in snack bags, that helps. I've got to try the cinnamon thing, I love cinnamon!
