A message from my friend, V, today: "Because of your blog, I started eating breakfast in the mornings too. It really has changed my eating habits all day!"
I started my Food Revolution as a personal challenge to change my eating habits for the long-term. It is just an added bonus that I have made even an ounce of impact or awareness on someone else. Keep it up, V!
Here follows a weekly progress update of my "Food Revolution":
(1) Reduce the number of canned meals I eat for lunch. 3.5-0 Jamie. I caved on Wednesday and partially on Friday. On Wednesday I gave into temptation and had a 1/2 can of German Potatoes. I know, canned potatoes? Sounds gross, but one day I was curious (and hungry while grocery shopping, BIG mistake) that I tossed in a can of these canned German Potatoes to try – and it was astonishingly delicious! Vinegar, bacon bits, and potatoes that pretty much taste fresh...mmm! Hey, don't judge. This was supplemented by a small portion of leftovers from a healthy, homemade meal.
On Friday I grabbed one of The Fella's frozen dinners to go. Frozen meals were never my weakness the way canned goods are (for whatever inexplicable reason), but it was on this Friday I had a revelation. It's because the cheap-o Banquet brand that I always purchase on sale for The Fella is nowhere near as good as the more pricey Marie Callander. This revelation could be my downfall. While frozen meals are not technically part of my Food Revolution rules against canned foods, I am going to guess Jamie Oliver wouldn't look kindly on me.
(2) Eat breakfast. Or at least just eat something in the morning.
- Monday: Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% Milk.
- Tuesday: Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% Milk.
- Wednesday: Can't recall what I ate, but I am sure I had something.
- Thursday: Coffee at my press check. It's all they had. But in my defense, I only used a teaspoon of sugar (because they ran out) as opposed to my normal 3 tablespoons.
- Friday: Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% Milk.
