Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I try to keep up with health trends when it comes to food. I know about Acai berries and low carb. Eggs are good, then bad, then good again and I honestly dont know the census on them right now. I know that pasta was the devil and a t-bone steak was considered health food. Ahhh the 90′s and the zone diet. I’ve heard of diets that are based on your blood type and diets based on a caveman’s diet. I occasionally jump on the health kick bandwagons and try various things. Tonight I caved and tried coconut water and let me tell you, it does not taste like coconut the way I associate it to taste. My coconut taste is riddled with sugar and the water was not. It tasted like dirty palm tree leaves. Not that I have actually tasted them but should I ever be asked to, I will say no because I feel like I already know the flavor! Anyway, I do not recommend the coconut water. I’d rather eat the steak. I have pretty much lost all my baby weight (2ish pounds are lingering) and I didnt lose the weight because I am an O+ blood type. I lost it because I watch what I eat and try and stay active. Try is the key word. I am always cautious of eating too much junk because I dont have a sweet tooth, I have a whole sweet mouth. My teeth are white because they are coated in sugar! I do love the sweets….I digress. My point was, I try to be good and it pays off. Like everything in life that is worth having, it takes work. I try and skate by with doing the least amount humanly possible when it comes to exercise because it is just too hot to go outside and I feel like a jack ass doing a work out video. There have been times I have watched workout videos from the sofa. Embarrassing but true! I guess my point is that you can eat at the acai berries and steak you want but ultimately you just need to live a well rounded healthy lifestyle.
