This is a tough one because I have a lot of habits I wish I didn't have, but the one that comes to my mind first is this: I eat too much junk food. In fact, here is what I am eating right now.

See? Not photogenic. |

But I'm going to try to do better. Now that I am no longer going to the field, I have no excuse to buy tater tots from Sonic or gas station potato chips, or anything else of the like. I really want to start my self made up diet again, which is basically not eating crap. It's hard, though. For motivation, my work has started up a biggest loser challenge. We're on teams and whoever loses the most weight/inches in 13 weeks wins some sort of cool prize. The collective weight of my 4-person group was somewhere around 630 lbs, I think. My goal over the next 13 weeks is to help make this number lower, one potato chip/piece of candy corn/etc. at a time. Maybe I should put the chips away now...
Meal planned for this evening:
Butternut squash soup (recipe courtesy
Small Home Big Start)
Wild cod fillets
White jasmine rice
Broccoli
I hear you on the 'not eating crap' diet. I resolved to do that a few months ago and it seems to be working. People I haven't seen for a while say I look slimmer so I must be doing something right (although all the exercise might have something to do with it as well).
