Food Blogging?

When I first started this blog I was using it to record what i had eaten each day. I think I will probably be starting to do that again soon. Even if no one is reading this, I know it will still help me to put this out there. On August 1st I will be starting a new challenge on my youtube channel, While I obviously havent started my non processed challenge yet, I am doing a bit better than I have been the last couple months.

Speaking of the challenge, I will basically be attempting to eating 75% non processed foods each day. I know it is unrealistic for me to think I can dive into this and go all the way with it, so I am taking some small steps. Find me on youtube (LindseyBrooke27) if you wanna join along with me and my fellow youtuber, BlessedMommy21. If you wanna join please make a response to one of our videos, they should be up by Friday. =D

So far today I have eaten the following:

1 cup Rice Krispies with less than 1/2 cup of 1 % milk

Sante Fe and Rice Smart Ones meal

1 snickerdoodle cookie

That's all so far! Ill update later!

Change.

I really need to make some changes, and not just so that I can lose weight. For the past couple of months I have mainly maintained. I did manage to get to 159, but I feel HORRIBLE. I have been eating shit. There's no other way to describe it other than that. Just complete shit.
My body is reacting in a lot of terrible ways. My acne is acting up, my stomach is bloated to hell (even though Im the same weight), Im tired ALL the time even after sleeping for hours, and Im just generally feeling depressed. And its ALL because of the food. It really is. Its really amazing how much of an affect it can have on you.
I want to just eat natural things. Im sick of this crap I am putting into my body. knowing me, I probably will not go completely natural ever, because I just dont have the time to devote to it. But I am going to be making a real effort this time. Its time to get to basics. I need this. I dont want to feel pulled down by chemicals and crap anymore. I want to feel clean, which is going to be a huge change for me. I grew up on a standard american diet, and it has definitely carried over into my adult life. I have to do this. I dont want to keep hurting my body and being miserable.

Its time to make a change. For real this time.
