I’ve got a cold for the second time this year, albeit not as bad as it was last year after Thanksgiving (or a few weeks ago). It couldn’t have arrived or rather, occurred at the most opportune moment, either. Imagine being in a head fog as you’re snowboarding. Ugh. Annoying. The NyQuil I took last night helped, then the DayQuil this morning somewhat staved the runny nose, but as mentioned, I still felt somewhat groggy on the slopes (despite having a 9hr beauty rest, too). It was only after lunch that I felt like my head has cleared, and right now– after 3 bottles of Vitamin Water ‘essential’ throughout the day– I feel waaaay better than I did last night.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this brought me to decide that 2012 will be the year where I have to watch what I eat — watch in terms of nutritional value, anyway and eventually, change my eating habits for the better.<\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I have a cheeseburger & fries everyday. It’s more like, there are some days where I don’t exactly get the nutrients (read: vitamins) that my body needs. It may sound basic, or even mundane, but it’s not easy to have a balanced meal everyday!<\/p>\n
So, short of hiring a personal cook (no, I’m not tasking my Mum who’s on-holiday with us with that mission) or summat similar, I plan to do this the old-fashioned way: have someone remind me to eat my veggies. LOL j\/k! I plan to stick to MyFitnessPal (consistently!) and log the food I eat, and in the process, make sure I really<\/em> eat a balanced meal– that is, have my prescribed 20g of protein & complex carbs which will include veggies & fruits & all that healthy stuff.<\/p>\n I still will<\/em> have someone remind me to eat my veggies LOL. But really it’s for accountability. My sis would be the perfect candidate along with her Health & Wellness Coach, Susan, who’s actually my Health Coach, too (I signed up on January 7th). <\/p>\n So there. I, Raciel, am pledging to eat better, nay, healthier, in 2012, so help me God (& friends)…<\/p>\n …starting tomorroz.
