I'm a young, vivacious woman with terrible health. I'd like to blame genetics and situations beyond my control for this, but I know it is partly my fault. I decided I was sick of feeling like "twenty five is the new fifty two," so I changed my diet and lifestyle to help fix my declining health. No one my age should have a blood pressure of 190/110. This is where I write about it.

9.20.10 Recap
Upon shutting down my computer and leaving work yesterday, I headed off to pick up my little brother from my parent’s house.
They really should have a sign hanging above the door that reads, “Abandon Your Healthy Eating Habits, All Ye Who Enter Here.”
Not only is my folks’ home literally bursting with food (I counted thirty one boxes of cereal in the pantry once, and only four people lived there at the time) but the majority of it is snack stuff. Pita chips, crackers, cheese curds, packaged cookies… a dieter’s nightmare.
Oh, and she ordered my favorite pizza. Veggie with feta cheese on it. I was afraid this was going to happen! I tried to resist, but I ended up having two and a half pieces. I opt-ed to eat the skinner slices, and fed the thick crust to my dogs.

Veggie and Feta Cheese Pizza- 2 1/2 Slices
550 Calories; 180 Fat Calories (this is approx, as I am pulling info off of the net and not from the actual pizza place)
Just in case you’re wondering, two out of my three dogs are overweight.
My brother and I headed out to the baseball game, where we witnessed the Brewers embarrass themselves for a couple innings. Well, Escobar did a great job stealing a few bases, but that’s about it.
We decided to go wander downtown instead. So what did I do? Take him to Brick 3, of course! My brother is a teenage boy, so he eats like none other. I wanted him to try the mac and cheese pizza. I wasn’t especially hungry, but he wanted me to eat, so I got a slice of Caprese.

Lets shoot for around 500 calories, and maybe 180 Fat Calories? I don’t know…
Remember when I said I was going to try to eat healthy? Let’s ask the three and a half pieces of pizza about that.
Fail.
Dropped my brother off at his house, and went home. Pretty much passed out because I was one sleepy bear!

Meh, could have been worse. But for all I know, I could be way off with my pizza guesstimations.
