I confess, I’m cheating on my husband… with sugar. Well, honestly, not just sugar, but food in general.
Let me go back. My husband is recovering from prostate cancer surgery, and over the past few months, he has decided that “we” need to plan on living another fifty years, and in order to do that “we” need to start eating healthier and exercising.
Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with a spouse who is more dedicated than you? I certainly didn’t have warm, fuzzy feelings this morning when he was dragging my butt to the gym, when I would much rather have been still snuggled up in bed on this chilly morning. I must admit that I did hit the happy button on the way out of the gym, but getting there to begin with… let’s just say there was a little grumbling under my breath.
Now, as far as food goes, he has totally embraced the eating healthy lifestyle. I, on the other hand, must make a confession. My name is Joann, and I am an addict. Sugar is my crack. Any form… candy, cookies, ice cream, McDonald Apple Pies… I don’t discriminate. I love all sweets equally!
So there you have it. This blog will be snapshots of our journey to a happier, healthier life, sometimes raw, and uncut… like when I’m ‘hangry’. We will explore nutrition, exercise, recipes, and other bits about travel or fun activities. Not sure where we’ll end up, the journey should be quite and adventure
