I exercise a lot.
Once upon a time, I believed in exercise without eating as a method of extreme weight control. I'm not that person anymore.
As the saying goes, bread is the staff of life. I'll go further - food is the staff of life.
I'm not a purist or a food Nazi. My husband and my daughter just returned from a big-time nutrition conference. The first thing my husband announced upon his return home was: Sugar is poison! My response?
a. This is news?
b. If you've joined the ranks of the sugar police, I'm outta here!
c. You have a big sweet tooth!
He's correct about sugar - in fact, over-processed foods are not particularly good for us, especially when eaten in excess. My philosophy is Ben Franklin's - all things in moderation.
This is an intro post. Over the next few weeks I promise I won't offend anyone, or tell you what you must do. I'll simply talk about my personal food journey.
Time to eat a handful of dry-roasted unsalted almonds and head out on a hike in the rain!

So right; we'd all probably do better with more exercise and moderation in whatever we eat.
Rhobin - sitting is an occupational hazard. Bad for us! It's easy to get up and move around and easy to eat well - just need to learn how and practice.
I agree with the moderation. Got to have some chocolate. Being a vegetarian nuts is one of my staples.
A handful of dry-roasted unsalted almonds? What if you are addicted to almonds? My problem is munching on unsalted almonds for hours and gaining weight BECAUSE of almonds!
