I am trying to avoid anything processed and am taking the extra time to cook a meal rather then stuff something in the microwave. Also, veggies, trying to do a lot more of those. It is hard for me to get out in the winter, but I'm going to start going to my local rec center at least three times a week. Now if only I can keep up on this without catching the flu - which is what usually throws me off.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395502314886308773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-78240192159341257162013-01-16T13:58:50.155-06:002013-01-16T13:58:50.155-06:00I had to keep myself from eating an entire 1lb box...I had to keep myself from eating an entire 1lb box of chocolate truffles after Christmas.

Cooking blogs always have the biggest amount of visits (too bad those ladies who own them don't know how to use Google Ads and earn something) :)<br /><br />I'm very proud of myself for almost never eating processed food. We don't really have it much here in my country, we cook everything mostly from scratch, since we don't have tones of readymade food, cans, and frozen things, not to mention mixes for cakes and such things. So everything I eat during my day is made from fresh groceries and nothing processed. I even eat chocolate maybe once a month :) DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-15237263422444527442013-01-16T12:23:29.875-06:002013-01-16T12:23:29.875-06:00Writers definitely have to think about the physica...Writers definitely have to think about the physical effects of sitting down too long.

Ener-G Eggs I believe is what we use. Comes in a powder you mix with water. Can't do scrambled eggs, but it's great for baking.<br /><br />And we don't even have sugar in our house, only Splenda.
