Yes, I ate a doughnut....mmmmmm
Today on the radio they were talking about a New Zealand lady who recently died. Her death was linked to soda consumption. Apparently she drank 10 litres of Coke a day and that contributed to her death. Now there is talk of Coke having to put a warning label on their products.
This story reminds me that it's important to exercise discipline in your diet. Just because it tastes good doesn't mean you should consume as much as you'd like. It's the three-cookie-rule; you can enjoy a cookie or three, but you shouldn't eat the whole bag. But it also highlights some of the struggles going on in our current society. It's so much harder to regulate yourself when sugary stuff is so cheap and plentiful. It's a sad story.
Today I consumed: 1 nutrigrain bar, 1 bowl of cheerios, an orange, a handful of olives, a cookie, some valentines chocolates (5 or so), a bowl of chili and a whole wheat bun, a pot of coffee and 4 glasses of water.

Everything is about convenience these days too, which can make smart choices challenging. I have gone without tv for several years. Well, about 7 to be exact. But it was one of those things that just happened, and I can't tell you how many times I just sat and listened to conversations about shows etc. But I don't miss it. The kids and I watch a movie most weekends though, so it isn't completely gone. I think it's a great challenge!
