The Health Fair Strikes Again

As the past few days have gone by, I've come to realize that this whole getting used to eating 5 smaller meals a day is starting to grow on me. I'm no longer starving my head off between times I eat, and I'm therefore in a better mood. I do, however, think the person who made this program should forewarn those who follow the program that they should be patient and allow a week for their body to adjust to the meal schedule.

The best part is I'm not depriving myself of anything. Because I'm staying away from foods with artificial sweetener and keeping things as natural as possible, I end up eating good, healthy, tasty food that I really enjoy. Last night my fiancee and I had a friend over for dinner, and I don't care the diet, I'm not going to skimp on entertaining people. So we had a delicious French onion soup (which is surprisingly healthy, considering it is largely onions and broth), a yummy spinach salad with homemade vinaigrette, and lemon curd for desert. When it comes to desert, I've found I would much rather have something made with real butter, real eggs, and real lemons than something made with chemicals and artificial flavorings. Not only does it taste better, but I claim the more natural ingredients are a far better choice for your health than the other stuff. Even after this meal, I found out the next day that I still lost some weight. I love how this program isn't restrictive, but rather educates a person on what food does to the body so they can make better health-conscious decisions.

I did another workout in the wellness center, and the red carpet gimmick happening yesterday was still going on today. So I openly complained, asking a friend there if it was bad that I hated the health fair and wanted it to die. In response to this, a lady at a booth piped up and said it was the last day, so it should no longer be cramping my style when I go in on Thursday and workout on the exercise ball. I only did half a workout again, but I was sore from the other half a workout I did yesterday.
