It's absolutely horrifying!

That's right. I am HORRIFIED by just how healthy my dinner was. What the heck.
Sounds like a stupid thing to be afraid of, but I'm serious. Let me explain.

I hate healthy food.

Maybe that's just the hungry side of me talking. She's not all that happy right now.
I've gotten a little too used to the "starving college student" role. And, by the way, that is a total misconception. What it SHOULD be is the "I can't afford to actually eat healthy because crap food is so much cheaper and easier to cook than healthy food so I'm going to put on 20 lbs my freshman year" student. If anyone has ever lived away from home for college then you get what I'm talking about. But I think we start to become accustom to, maybe even prefer, unhealthy food. Which is probably why I have a pack of Oreos sitting in my bedroom staring at me right this very second.

Sneaky little things.

Getting to my point (in a rather round-about way), I went to the gym today and ran my butt off. I wheezed my way through a couple of miles while the staff probably had paramedics on stand-by. It felt good to work out though. Especially when my work out playlist consists of Paramore, All Time Low and LMFAO's Sexy and I Know it. I left the gym sweaty, but feeling good. And I decided I didn't want to cancel that out by eating more junk food. So I went to my local grocery store and bought myself the makings of a salad.
Maybe I put too much dressing on it. It was lite raspberry vinaigrette though, how bad can a little extra be? And maybe the only reason I could choke it down was because I dumped a whole lot of craisins (yum) on it, but who cares? The point is that I ate it, and I haven't slipped and had something that isn't good for me... yet.
It was horrifying to see just how hard it was to get me to eat healthy, even for half a day. It was horrifying that I had to actually go out and buy healthy food because it is practically non-existent in my home.
I like that I feel good though.
It's like I just punched the obesity epidemic in the face.
Feel free to join in, America.
