Twenty Five is the New Fifty Two

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.

I have absolutely no desire to eat anything today. In fact, the only reason I ate that Avocado is because I haphazardly cut it up while I was talking to my co-worker in the kitchen at work. I make a point not to eat when I am not hungry, so I am a bit annoyed with myself for eating that dumb Avocado. It didn’t even taste good. However I lectured the man across the hall on how he should be eating a serving of almonds everyday, and he just came in here to tell me he choked down his nuts (ha), so now I feel like I need to.

Remember a few days ago when I mentioned that the Metronidazole sometimes left a “metallic” taste in my mouth? Well, that has been lacing everything that has been touching my lips. Who wants to eat anything when it tastes as if it has been finished with a dash of iron? I don’t even want pizza right now.

Yeah. Not even pizza sounds good. I must be sick.

Why I adore GK Snacks trail mix: The original mix is fantastically delicious, and good for you (save for the M&Ms, but they are a nice “reward” treat). The raisins are HUGE, and there is a good amount of almonds and cashews in it; not just peanuts. The best part? The plastic jar is reuseable, so I can put my own mix in it and store it.  I also really like the cap because it pours out the perfect serving portion of nuts. I like to eat 1/4c of alominds a day, and all I have to do is pour them into the cap for easy measurement. Thank you, GK snacks, for making my life a little easier, and a whole lot tastier.
