Getting Back to My Roots

Do you know what? 

Food blogging is boring.

Wanting to lose weight is boring.

Fighting my sweet tooth is boring.

Thinking I have to eat vegetables is boring.

I want my life to be fun.  Exciting.  Challenging. Rewarding. 

Not boring.  Definitely not boring.  A boring life is a life half lived.

So I will not be posting my daily food intake any more.

I will not be whining about wanting to lose weight any more.

Instead I will be living my life.  The way I want to.  Without giving a damn what bloggers are doing or what they would think of my choices.  Want to eat spinach in your smoothie?  Knock yourself out.  Personally, I’d rather eat it on a plate with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs, olives and feta.  Call me crazy but I think it tastes better that way.

I don’t care if I really should lose ten pounds.  I’m not planning on wearing a bathing suit any time soon, so really, who cares?  Not me.  To anyone who thinks I’m fat – shame on you.

I care more about good chocolate.  Heck, who am I kidding, I’ll even eat not-so-good-and-probably-contains-a-bagillion-awful-ingredients-that-only-an-idiot-would-consume chocolate.  I’m not fussy.

I care about vegetables.  I adore vegetables.  I just don’t want to feel like I absolutely have to eat them.  Know what I mean?

Against my better judgement and inner lazy girl, I also care about running.  Weird.

So what the heck is this blog going to be about then?  Who knows.  Perhaps more posts like this and this, and fewer posts like this.  Whatever I feel like writing about at the time I suppose.  Food.  Fitness.  Life.  The usual but without placing rules on myself.  If I want to eat a cupcake, I’ll eat a damn cupcake thank you very much.  I don’t need to feel guilty about it.
