Not Another Food Movie

While I was working from home today, I found myself scavenging through Netflix to kill some time. I have stumbled across the movie Hungry For Change quite a few times but never could find it in myself to click play. I've watched countless movies about eating, detoxing, whole foods, etc. and could only imagine that this would be a mirror-image of everything I've seen before. 

I decided to finally watch it, and like no surprise, it wasn't that much different than the other food movies I've watched (Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, FoodMatters, Food Inc., etc.). It was still pretty incredible. In fact, it was a big collaboration of the ideas and people from the other movies. I love that they just keep pushing these films out in hopes that one by one, we'll all listen.

For me, it was a great kick in the butt. I needed a friendly reminder to stop eating Cadbury mini eggs and start eating more cucumbers. I actually got up in the middle of the movie to workout and snack on a few carrots. I think they won me over. They highlight the fact that we need whole foods and if we start eating whole foods, everything else will fall into place. Our system now of eating like crap, barely moving, feeling like crap, going to the doctor and being prescribed something is not doing anything for us. It's only pushing us further and further away from our true potential. 

If you are into watching movies about food, I recommend it. If you know someone who's been eating too many mini eggs, like myself, kindly suggest it. Watch it with your boyfriend or your mom or anyone else you feel like striking up an interesting conversation with. 

Now, I'm going to go hunt for juicers on Amazon...

What I'm (Not) Doing Right Now

I just spent the last half hour reading through my old blog posts and feeling a little sad. I used to love blogging, a lot. I looked forward to posting two to three times a day and I loved being part of the amazing internet community that I found. It made me sad to think that I've drifted past that.

How many times do I have to tell you guys how much things have changed over the past year? It's been a happy, sad, stressful, incredible, best, worst, YOU NAME IT year. Did you really want to hear for the umpteenth time that I worked twelve hours in the pantry station and barely showered or saw my dog for three days? Nah, blogging isn't for whiners.

Regardless, things are getting back to normal. Sweet...now read on...

I am not working 60 plus hours a week. Hallelujah! Although after seeing last year's W2s, I probably should be.

I am not working the line. You should be really happy for that. I haven't whined so much about a job in my entire life. I love all of you who work the line (for me) at the restaurant and in real life. I seriously have incredible amounts of respect for you. I wish I had enough money to buy you a paraffin wax and foot massage.

I am not being a lazy slob. I'm trying really hard to get back into my regular workout routine and to clean up after myself. A clean home is a happy home, right?

I am not holding back. For the first time in my life, I've learned how to voice my concerns and speak up for what I really want out of life. Because of this, I've scored myself a pretty sweet job.

I am not taking a lot of pictures. This is a failure. It's bad enough I took away the header for you guys and now you have nothing to look at but text. I'll work on that, I promise.

Are you guys still out there? Say hi...I miss you!!
