Foodies

On Saturday we went to Costco and stocked up on foods that we could prepare in our rodent inhabited kitchen. As we stood in line at the check-out I looked at the boys and said, "Well, so much for your lifetimes of healthy eating." Bryan assured me that one week of eating this way wouldn't cause too much damage. I'm sure he's right, but boy, I'm glad this is not our normal diet.

See, we usually eat lots of fruits and vegetables, homemade wheat bread, meals that we've built from scratch, not scratched the plastic cover off of to heat up. Right now our freezer is full of Hot Pockets, Corn Dogs, frozen burritos, and (shudder) Totino's Pizza Rolls. We do have some fresh fruit hidden away in the fridge, but it's not nearly as much as we usually have sitting on the counter, ready to grab and eat.

I've discovered I don't really like junk food anymore. Potato chips do little for me. Corn dogs are adequate. Yeah, I'll still eat a brownie, but if I had my pick between a brownie and a piece of fruit, I would go for the fruit. I just feel better when I eat that way. I have more energy (and that's definitely something I can use these days) and I don't feel bogged down or greasy the way I do when we eat out or indulge in junk food.

And now, I really want a watermelon...
