So, like, I *totally* want to be healthy, you know?

(No, I haven't had my coffee yet. But that's only because it isn't done brewing.)

So, okay. Now that I'm out of the house I:

Am eating a lot of fruits and veggies.

Am eating mostly lean seafood with the occasional lowfat hamburger or keilbasa sausage dish thrown in for variety.

Have not had one. Single. Wine cooler. Since I've moved out, and haven't wanted one (or any sort of alcohol) at all.

Am drinking mostly ice water, with the occasional Lime Diet Coke, as well as coffee and one 8oz cup of V8 juice and one 8oz of OJ with vitamin D and calcium with breakfast each morning.

...and I'm actually thinking of cutting out the coffee, too.

Hmn...should I?

No. Coffee is good for you, as long as you stick to 1-2 cups a day. If you are worried about calories go to non fat or low fat creamer and splenda (it really does taste just like sugar).

Actually, I'm more worried about the fact that 4-6 cups is more my style (yes, I have addictions. Chocolate and coffee. Shame on me). Just about everything else I eat is (mostly) useful calories.

I'm more worried about my beleguered teeth, and the blood pressure (it got into the 'high' range before I departed the old household. Hmn...maybe I should check on it again and see if moving/losing weight helped that any).
