last night i made a spaghetti squash for the first time. i think it came out well, although i didnt expect it to be so crunchy. im not sure of what the consistency should be, because this was my first taste. delicious, either way i suppose. i made a garlic and oil sauce with herbs, vegetables and cheese to top it with. after dinner i made a banana walnut loaf which was lovely! made the whole house smell like bananas! now that im living in my own place once again, im changing my eating habits for the better. my parents cook and eat healthy for the most part, but when food is being made for me i have a tendency to overeat. they also eat out more often than i would like, and its hard to turn down perfectly delicious pizza, chinese food, or bagels if they are offered to me. ive been keeping a food diary for the past 3 months or so and it has been very revealing as to what i need to change. its crazy to look back on your week of food and see that you only ate a few servings of vegetables all week, or that you ate out at least once a day the past 5 days. there are multiple steps i would like to take to change, but i think introducing them slowly is better than changing everything all at once. adding more of whats good into my meals is more important right now than excluding other things which arent as healthy. through the food diary, ive become more aware of and been able to pinpoint which foods make me feel tired, sluggish, unsatisfied, full, gassy, or any other number of good or bad reactions. i have recognized and have stopped overeating (with the exception of the wawa trip). i have also begun eating many more vegetables on a daily basis, cooked and raw. now, my main focus is to prepare all of my meals from scratch, and only eat out or meals out that are made from scratch. cereal will be an exception. nothing else from a box! ill see how this goes for a bit and then make other changes. food, i believe, is such an important part of life, and it is often overlooked as just a necessity, something that tastes yummy, or something to do. food is the main source of nutrients for our bodies. what is (or is not) in your food makes up your body. and body and mind are interconnected. if your bosy is malnurished, your mind suffers as well. a huge amount of ailments which people suffer from can often be traced back to poor diets or deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, or even just a lack of water. the human body is resilient, but it can only take so much. and it shows this in many different and not always very clear ways.
enough food ranting! tonight at midnight harry potter and the deathly hallows comes out and IM NOT GOING :( i waited too long to buy tickets for ross and i and the theatre downtown, which all of our friends are going to, is sold out. we decided to get tickets for tomorrow at noon instead of going to a faraway theatre. there will be less screaming tweens and a better chance at great seats! ill be wearing my symbol of the hallows tshirt i made a while back of course! i made another hallows tshirt today for my friend stuart who is seeing the film tonight!
