Eat to live, not live to eat

March 8, 2010 by kbhun

Hi Bloggers! I failed on blogging updates this weekend but the good news is I did pretty well! I was worried b/c I did go out drinking but I ate really well and ran on Saturday. I was pleased by the scale this morning!

I spent way too much money at Whole Foods this weekend, but hopefully it’ll be totally worth it! Does anyone else love Whole Foods as much as me?! I got some great stuff for dinner last night, I think you’ll like it (note: i did steal this recipe idea from a fellow blogger!)…

Stick 1 low-cal whole wheat tortilla in the oven on 350 for about 3 minutes to let it crisp up. Add chunky tomato sauce, some fresh mozz. cheese and return to the oven to heat and let the cheese melt. Meanwhile I heated up 4 meatless-meatballs, and sliced and add on top of the pizza= amazing and only approximately 300 cals and I was very full. But I ate it so quick I forgot to take a picture!

Every year Arnold Schwarzenegger has a fitness event here in Columbus, so I went and check it out this year, pretty cool! I got some free Cascadian and Larabar samples= Yum! And we saw Lou Ferrigno- the Hulk!

On a final note, someone shared a bit of eating advice with me this weekend, and I liked it, it gave me a new perspective… I realize I should have figured this out earlier than 24 years, but I didnt, so tell me what you think… “We eat to live, not live to eat… it’s important to remember we were not intended to indulge, only nourish.”

Hey there! I just found you through stats on my blog! Thanks for having me on the blogroll!

I totally agree that we need to learn that we eat to live, but it’s hard sometimes because food tastes so good! Thats why I have made a valiant effort to make that good food that I eat healthy food!!

Oh and I really think it’s a blessing in disguise for my wallet that I don’t live by a Whole Foods.

No whole foods where I live in Canada. I visit “Planet Organic” instead, which also takes all my money! Great quote. When you’re about to eat anything, think “how will this HELP my body?” if you can’t think of how it will make you better, don’t eat it.
Have a great Wednesday!
