Victory Over the Fending Machine
Today's food list: 2 oz pretzels (was at the car repair place and had not eaten breakfast since I thought it was just going to be a few minutes. After I realized it was going to be a 2 1/2 hour wait, I went to peruse the offerings from the vending machine. I eyed the iced honey bun, the crumb donuts and yes, even the poptart, but chose pretzels instead - yippee for me!), cheeseburger, 2 rice cakes, about 20 small crackers with hummus, large salad, 1/4 cup potato salad, about 3/4 cup chili with crackers, about 8 strawberries with some sugar

Chemicals are everywhere!
Today's food list: 3/4 cup organic granola, about 30 grapes, chipotle chicken burrito bowl, 2 rice cakes, 8 small pretzel nuggets, chicken packet (chicken salad mixture in a crescent roll dough, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 cup baked mashed potatoes
I bought groceries yesterday at Wegmans and spent a bunch of time reading labels. There are lots of things that I've always thought to be healthy (Wheat Thins, anyone?), tortillas, etc. that are just a bunch of chemicals. Exactly what is Xanthum Gum anyway?

I'm back!

I have been scarce on the blog for the past week - eating was not totally out of control, but certainly not "clean". Why? Some good 'ole fashioned emotional eating! I think last week was probably one of the most stressful of my life. Wish I was exaggerating, but nope, I'm not. But, the issues that caused the stress won't be going away any time soon, so, I will have to eat healthy as I walk through hard stuff. And, my guess is that eating well when stressed is probably a good thing for one's health. Duh.
I have found another blogger who's blog has been quite helpful. Check out her post about how to shop for real food! http://www.musingsofahousewife.com/2010/02/whole-foods-from-the-conventional-grocery-store.html
