something about a journey starting with a single step

Well kids, here goes nothing!

Today makes the beginning of a 6 month journey - that's right, 6 months - to change my life for the better.  We've thrown out all the beloved brominated vegetable oil (i.e. my diet mountain dew) and picked up our Seattle Sutton Healthy Eating meals.  3 meals a day for 6 months.  What will happen to me? ;)  I'll tell you.  I'm going to kick some bad habits once and for all. I'm going to fit in those 12's again dammit.  I'm going to be able to chase those tiny humans faster than ever.  I'm going to smile and live and be sassy.  Just like always, but with fewer fat rolls.

So thrilled to be doing this hand in hand with my partner in crime.  He is somewhat less thrilled about video shoots and no beer and blogs, but just as excited about having more energy and regaining a more Superman-esque physique.

The kids will remain on a standard preschool diet chock full of baby carrots, bananas, summer popsicles and cheese quesadillas.  We will still ' ah-hem' cook for them.  And by we I mean Steve.

The last few days have been a bit like waiting for the apocalypse.  I've been eating ALL OF THE FOOD.  Well, I didn't get to it all but now I don't even care - honestly.  We've known this was coming now for several weeks, so it has not been easy to steer clear of temptation knowing that it might never actually taste good again.  So bye bye sprinkle donuts, bye bye turkey bacon minis and white chocolate in my cold press.  Hello to healthy and real and to an even more kick-ass version of myself.
