What Am I Doing Here?

I realized that my life was changing all around me, FAST!  I started working out and thought I didn’t have to do anything with my diet, since I didn’t eat much anyway The truth is I wasn’t eating enough, and what I was eating wasn’t the right fuel to feed my body for my daily activity.   I started to eat every 2 hours throughout the day.  In the beginning, I had to force myself to eat a breakfast (something I did not deem necessary in the past) and to take time out of my morning to pack little meals that would be easy enough to eat whatever I might be doing.  It worked for me and I then took the next step into examining what I am putting into my body.  I love supporting local farms and I decided to start eliminating what I am buying in the supermarkets and what I am buying fresh locally.  I feel like I get a better product from a person I recognize from my community.  In the summer I grow as many fruits and veggies that I use most often and I love creating new recipes to use as many different seasonal foods as possible.
At first I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nutritional choices I felt necessary to improve my diet, but I am finding that I can actually eat better on a budget!  I shop smarter and plan better and save on time and my bills are averaging out to be the same.

I took one step at a time and my life evolves with me, I am always open to new ideas and willing to try anything.  My plan here is to discuss our favorite foods, figure out how to make them better for us without compromising the integrity of the dish, create recipes for these favorites using a clean approach to cooking, to encourage each other to continue to workout and lead fit and healthy lives, and answer any questions

together.
