Did you know?

So, I've been trying to cut down on eating junk food, and watch the food labels on my food more closely. Basically, a month is too long to wait between starting one goal and beginning another, because I have grown a little bored with only changing what I drink. lol. But I'm pretty sure I'm over soda. Man, I see people drink tons of soda and the thought of it just makes me sick to my stomach. So much sugar, dehydrating carbonation...ew. Water is SO much better, and I feel better now too. It's pretty much great, and I've realized that the whole thing where they say that most people mistake thirst for hunger--yeah, that's totally true. Anyway, good times, and as of week three I had lost 5 pounds, which is more or less right on track with what I was hoping for. yay. :D

Anyway, so here's my did you know question. You know those little cans of Pringle's chips you can buy that are like the tube thing, but only a "single serving" or whatever....Right, anyway. Did you know that one of those little tubes had EIGHTEEN grams of fat in it, five of which are saturated fat??? WOW. I bought a can yesterday cuz Pringles sounded good, and then bought another today and just so happened to look at the label as I was opening them...man, it really makes me not want pringles anymore. I had kinda figured that since there was only one serving in the container, I would be better off buying that than a bag of chips. Which I sorta was, it's less fat, but it's still way more than that little can of salty chips is worth. Holy cow. I'm amazed at how many things have so much fat and then you look down on the label and they have virtually no positive nutritional value. No wonder Americans have so much trouble with weight....I'm stunned, I never really realized this. (Well, I've been told, but never really put two and two together so much).

Anyway, today marks the day I move on to contract number 2, of my year to a better me. I hereby commit to exercising 5 days a week, for no less than 10 minutes each day, but preferably 15-30...for the next 90 days.
