You are what you eat

I've been thinking a lot about ways to improve my life.  I have been making a lot of changes... running, school, routines, and trying to change the way I eat.  At first I just wanted to watch what I ate, not any drastic changes, just eat a little better.  I have been looking for blogs about running, but whenever you read about running- you read about eating.  One of my favorites that I can stop reading is The Athletes Plate.  He's hilarious and has a really good way of looking at food.  The two things really go hand in hand.  It makes sense- you have to have energy to run.  I can really tell what I ate when I run.  I am not sure if I am going to go hard core organic, but I am definitely going to take steps toward it(even if they are baby steps).  I just made some almond butter.  It felt really good to make something myself and to know exactly what was in it. I got some bread at earth fare and made peanut butter toast.  It really is crazy to me what is in our food.  I watched Food Inc about a year ago.  It freaked me out.  I wanted to throw all the food in my house away.  That was the starting point, but in combination with other changes in my life, I now realize how important it is.  I want to be healthy.  I want to be fit.  I want to know exactly what I am eating.  I can spend less eating better at home than I have been eating CRAP.  Seriously... click on nutrition when you bring the link up. Chicken-ish nuggets? I'm not saying I'm never going to eat at McDonald's again.  I'm not saying I will never eat another "chicken" nugget again.  All I'm saying is that I want to do better.  I want to make better decisions more of the time.  Maybe, eventually, I will make a whole life change- I could see that happening, eventually.

On a less positive note, Austin threw up in my car.  My car that has less than 2000 miles on it has already been thrown up in.  My dream car, that I have kept clean since purchasing it, had puke running down the back seat.  My car is fine now.  Austin WAS feeling better, but threw up this morning at day care.  I had to leave work to go pick him up... at least he didn't throw up in my car again.  We are at home relaxing, he is relaxing and I am staring at the pile mountain of clothes that I need to fold.  I promise I will fold them when I post this.
