How to Get a Little Bit Healthier

I am a baaaad eater.

As in a eat a lot of bad foods.

I have been known to have ice cream for breakfast.

That kind of bad.

Chocolate is my drug of choice.

And I am overweight.

So I am not advocating my food choices.

I try, I really do.

I bought a Ninja blender.

They had them at my warehouse store and I got it for about $80, which is much better than the $400 - $800 I saw when I researched them on-line.

I was going to make smoothies.

Healthy ones.

It even came with a recipe book with lots of healthy smoothie choices.

And I did try a couple.

I really did.

And we have been using that blender a LOT.

For milkshakes.

Yum, yum, yum.

So much for eating healthy, right?

WRONG!

Well, not entirely wrong.

BUT, for me, I am trying to incorporate some health into my bad eating.

So, yesterday I made myself a milkshake.

(I made them for the rest of my family too, just so you know.)

But for me, I made a chocolate milkshake,

and I put fresh strawberries and blueberries in it.

YUM!

I also made a macaroni salad to bring to my sister's house for a picnic.

There is a bag of kale in my fridge.

Yes, I did, I put some chopped kale in my macaroni salad.

(Well, I actually split the salad into two salads and put it in one.)

Today I am trying to eat some leftover fruit salad.

I have a little hot fudge sauce in the fridge.

Yum!

So I can look at this three ways:

1. I am ruining healthy food by eating it with unhealthy food.
2. I am ruining the taste of unhealthy food by adding healthy food.
3. I am improving unhealthy food choices by adding healthy foods and getting some healthy food into my body.

I choose door number 3.
