Maybe this'll work.
Jun. 9th, 2007 10:40 amTo say that I don't cook would be a huge understatement. Baking is all well and good-- I love making cookies and brownies and experimenting with candy recipes. Give me a family reunion or a party and I'll stay up half the night going through recipe books and plotting. But normal 'okay, time for dinner' cooking? I'm fixing macaroni and cheese or popping in a microwave dinner.
Which wasn't particularly healthy before and I knew that. I just have zip in the way of willpower; I'll change my diet for one or two days if I start feeling woozy and then I'll get caught up in writing or reading or cleaning and be right back to 'oh look, Pop Tarts'.
Chris and I are both making some lifestyle changes because of the pregnancy-- his main one being trying to quit smoking, and mine being trying to overcome my laziness when it comes to food.
Fortunately Chris likes to cook, so that helps quite a bit. And on our last trip to the grocery store, we stayed away from the candy/cookies and chips aisles, and bought a lot of fruits and vegetables; I'm going to start trying to eat salads (Ashley, pick yourself up off the floor). Chris and I are also talking about making up daily menus, seeing if that helps.
