yes I would.

So the water drinking has been going awesome. I have to admit (sadly) that I am amazed at how easy it has become to down 10-16 ounces of water before I drink my morning cup of joe. The last few days actually, the minute my foot hits the bottom step of our house, I am thirsty. Like Pavlov’s dog I am now conditioned to WANT the water.

So I thought about what item to add to my mini resolution list. I had many ideas that were too big, or I didn’t feel quite ready for. But there was something I have been slowly trying to do and would be willing to do more consistently.

Avoid fake food.

Last year we as a family gave up margarine for butter. I just felt better about eating butter (something my grandmother ate daily) over margarine. I want to continue to make those types of small changes and allow my food to be what it is.

May my sour cream be creamy and my yoghurt have fat. Bacon shall be porky. And let coffee dance once again with cream.

When I have the chance to purchase something that hasn’t been modified over something that has, I will ignore the hype. The low fat, no calorie disguise of “healthy-ness” and go back to the beginning. To where the food began and pick THAT option.

I don’t expect to only eat whole & healthy foods ALL the time. Who are we kidding? This is not a I shall “only eat fruit that falls off trees” kind of thing (name that movie). I know our lifestyle will have some cans and boxes and bags. And I am o.k. with that. As I mentioned last week. This is a small change. Something easily adopted into a habit.

And see where we go to from here.
