Ah, the glam life of a writer.
Cereal. Pizza. Burgers. Fries. Soda. Soda and more soda. I'm not even on that tight of a deadline but for some reason whenever I enter that two week countdown all semblance of a healthy diet goes right out the window... usually my car window... at the fast food drive in. What's the deal with that?
Yeah, I know, there's something up there, emotional eating, stress, stuffing down anxiety or maybe just a great excuse to over indulge. The worst part is, having been eating better for a while now, am finding that eating junk is actually making it harder to get writing done! Seriously, if you are struggling to get words on the page, take a look at what's on your plate, or in your glass or in your car (yes, I confess, I tossed a Wendy's Bag in the back seat today to throw away later - glam, glam, glam, huh?)
So starting tomorrow, better food, better work ethic, better writing! Better go see if we have any ice cream...
Better yet - come visit Dear Helen Hartman and leave your blog link!
Funny that you would write this just after I left a comment on Paula's blog Reshaping Paula. I stated that people would be shocked to read what I eat and have lost 125 lbs and still counting. Paula's blog has SO many articles on intermittent fasting that I have been living for four years now. You may want to check out her blog to see how I eat. I don't follow exactly the guidelines to this type of fasting but very close. There is no way I'm drinking black coffee girl, I love my milk in it, or cream (and tons of it) with I go to Tim Horton's.lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. :) Been working at eating a little better. Don't eat a ton of junk, but don't always eat smart either. Heading out now to walk at the park!
ReplyDeleteLinked up over at Helen's. Thanks for doing that, Annie. Have a great weekend!
Will check it out Angie - I just heard that fasting is very good for your body. Tell that to the doughnut and hot dog I had today!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm visiting from Karen Lange's blog! I also stopped by and left a comment at Helen's!
ReplyDeletewriting contest.......My blog Amish Stories is having its first ever contest this week. The First prize winner will win 2 tickets to tour the farm where the 1985 move "Witness" staring Harrison Ford and Kelly Mcgillis was made in Strasburg,Pa . This farm is now Amish owned, and the family has given permission for folks to tour their farm. This may be the last time anyone will be able to walk and see the same things that Harrison Ford and the other actors saw during the making of "Witness". The Witness tour should last about 2.5 hours. In addition to the Witness farm tour tickets, 1st prize winner will also receive 2 tickets for Jacobs choice. There will also be a 2nd place prize, which will be 2 tickets for the Amish Homestead. Please go to My blog www.AmishStorys.com for contest details, and more information on the prizes. Richard from the Amish settlement of Lebanon county.
