Lent 2010

So, my church decided that for lent we were going to join together in solidarity and give up drinking anything EXCEPT water. No soda, no milk, no juice, no sports drinks, no coffee, no tea. Nothing but water. This seemed like a great thing to add into what I was planning on doing for lent – working out, eating healthily and appreciating my health and body. The only thing is, when you are already saying no to most of the foods you want, it’s really really hard to give up all of the drinks you want too. Dieting is much easier when you know you can still have that diet coke with your salad. But… Lettuce, veggies and WATER? wow.

I will be drinking fasting tea, because… it’s only flavored water, and it gives me at least an hour before I need to eat again. It’s a godsend.

Are you giving anything up for lent?

Sushi

Is sushi good for you? I know it’s good for my mouth… but for my waist? I think it’s healthy. Anybody have a better idea?

BRUSSEL SPROUTS!

For the last 3 weeks or so, I have looked forward to buying brussel sprouts at the farmer’s market here in Madison. Yesterday, my dream was fufilled! I really wanted to buy them on the stalk, cause they look so awesome, but I didn’t see any until it was too late.

Today, I enjoyed them! And, I did some research on the much debated vegitable. They are SO so SO good for you! They have a score of 89 of 100 in nutritional completeness, which is the easiest bit of information for me to relay in words, the rest of the awesomeness is shown in graphs that I can’t post on here! So, instead, here is the link to the very impressive brussel sprouts! http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2363/2

Here is my yummy, but not entirely healthy pita pocket sandwich. Look at all those sprouts. YUM!

Next is the pizza I wrote about under the food page. Doesn’t it just look awesome? Strange how both of these items are semi circles. hmmm.

Health conscious and happenin.
