health

so a few minutes ago as i was refilling my water glass at work i was thinking about my coworker delorise.  she had sauntered down the hall earlier complaining about how tired she has been lately and i realized that even though i literally do NOTHING almost all day long at work, i have actually been pretty alert throughout the whole day.  not tired at all (for the most part).  i have decided this is due to my healthier eating habits and for lack of anything else to do, i figured i'd brag.
did you know that greek yogurt has just a few more calories than regular, but more than twice the fiber?  and that 1 heart-healthy serving of oatmeal can be ready in the microwave in less than 2 minutes?  how bout that the comissary sells steamfresh bags of mixed vegetables for $1.25.  i'm eating one now for lunch, which will fill me up for a good 3 hrs, and it has about 210 calories. 
i've been really trying to get in my servings of fruits, vegetables and dairy each day, and going a bit easier on the grains.  all my grains are whole grains, but that doesnt give me leave to have an entire week's worth of grains each day... amazingly enough.
i weighed myself a couple days ago, and even with the pre-monthly visitor bloatage, i was still down a couple pounds since last time, which was post christmas carnage.  and since body image is always a battle for everyone, i have decided that my waist is getting smaller, even if i am imagining it, and that my stomach, which has long been considered my nemisis, isnt all that bad.  now my thighs could use some work, but at least that battle isnt as extreme.  so overall, i'm feeling good! 
next week i will begin the exercise assault and i'm pretty excited about it.  this is the first time i have done so well with healthy eating and by already seeing results, i am exponentially encouraged to see MORE results through exercise.  in the grand scheme of things, i dont have "that much" to lose, i just need to beat my own laziness and get it going - which isnt too bad of a battle after all.
and for the record, the "Farmer's Blend of cauliflower florets, sugar snap peas, julienne carrots and dried cranberries lightly tossed in a butter sauce" is DELICIOUS!!   :)
