Bye bye processed food






Today was gorgeous. Thought it was spring. We went to the park and rode the slides. Here are some pictures. Also thought I'd throw in one of the Gigi "talking" on my cell phone when we were at the mall.
Now onto the good stuff...
I've had another epiphany about life. Yesterday I was at the Affair of the Heart with my friend Jehan. We were having a jolly good time and stopped to eat some lunch. Lunch choices at the Oklahoma Fair grounds are not that exquisite but at least I had an option between a strawberry crepe and a hot dog. Do you know what I chose? A hot dog. Why? you might ask. Well, the reason is because I eat hot dogs about 3-4 times a week. Add on to that Mac n' cheese and then frozen pizza and you might suggest that I'm turning into a processed food foodie. Isn't that horrible? When the lady at the hot dog stand handed me one of the most giant hot dogs I have ever seen in my life the lights finally clicked on. I've got to stop the processed food before I myself turn into a giant hotdog. I used to be such a healthy eater. I read in Parenting magazine that 54% of moms surveyed said that their eating habits have improved since having a baby. I wonder how this is possible because mine have plummeted. So, I am now adding onto my list of self-improvements that I will no longer eat (very many) processed foods. I think I'll allow myself one processed food day per week and that will be all... Let's face it, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is just too good to say goodbye to for forever. But hotdogs I should have no problem with.
