Classic Annie.: On Food and Drink

We all know it's a constant struggle every day with what we eat and drink to stay healthy.? I know it is for me at least.?

?

Hmmm?plain carrots?or junk food?? Yeah, let me think about it.

?

?

But something my friends Tara, Kristen and I talked about when we ran a lot was that we need to eat clean.? Whole grains, vegetables, fruit.? We always feel better when we eat this way, instead of a breaded chicken sandwich and french fries.? It keeps us fuller longer and makes us feel better about ourselves and is best for our long term health.?

?

Why is that so hard to comprehend?? I don't know, but it is for me!?

?

Why are pizza and beer so good?

?

?

I'm a big believer in portion control.? And I'm also a big believer in splurging every once in awhile.? But not every day!? Last Friday night we went to the fish camp.? Ladies and gents - that was a splurge, despite my baked potato instead of fries.? The fried shrimp, three hushpuppies and slaw - splurge!? But worth it!? I made sure to walk and run this past weekend and I cut back in other areas.

You can't be so strict on yourself all of the time, but making sure we are healthy is important.

?

Let's be honest, I'm no nutritional pro but I did learn some things from my Mama growing up about eating veggies, fruits?and greens things instead of anything white (usually bad)!

?

Am I trying to be that crazy bride that loses 20 pounds before her wedding?? No.? Although that'd be nice,?I want to look like me!? Am I trying to be really careful about what I consume between now and the next 60 days?? Yes!? But I'm not killing myself over it.?

?

Just thought I'd write about something that I think we all struggle with daily.? I know I do.

Share your tips!
