Pursuing Natural Food

I recently decided to eat healthier. Well, more than healthier actually, more naturally. I've got some friends with good blogs about it, a couple of documentaries, and a book about it under my belt. So I'm jumping in and hoping for the best.

The catch is a husband that doesn't really care about it. So I'm attempting to eat naturally for breakfast and lunch and as close as I can with dinner. He does most of the cooking, and he's great at it. So I'll indulge at dinnertime to show my appreciation for his hard work. But he's really trying to make his cooking healthier so that he doesn't feel like he's sidetracking me.

He's the best!

So here's a quick report on yesterday's Day 1:

A TON OF WATER

Breakfast:
Greek Yogurt
Honey
Apple
Granola
Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness

Felt hungry before lunch so I tapped into my snack reserve ... and had an epic fail.

Snack:
Larabar --banana nut
Coffee with Rice Milk
Tiny slim jim :(

Lunch was provided, and I can't pass up a free meal. So I ate it. I chose the least processed option: chicken breast sandwich. In retrospect, I could have avoided the bread since it wasn't whole grain, but I'm still a newbie and it was Day 1.

Lunch:
Chicken Poblano Fresco sandwich from Corner Bakery (downside, poblano cheese bread, slaw, mayo)
Fruit Salad

Late snack:
Peach, 2 orange slices

Dinner:
Chicken Curry with potatoes and carrots, mostly natural surprisingly

QUICK TIP: The biggest thing I learned was that water will save you from a snack crash. Since I ate my afternoon snack in the morning, I had to wait until I got home to snack on anything. Water made that tolerable. So drink it up, friends!
