One of the healthy activities I took on BEFORE the New Year was signing up for a half marathon in April.

Now to accompany that I’ve tried to adjust my eating habits to go along with the running thing.

I’m a carb whore and a fried food whore and a salty food whore. I basically just like things that are bad for you. So what I’m trying to do to combat that is make the foods I love but with the healthier substitutions so that I don’t really miss the fat.

This weekend I was hardcore craving spaghetti and meatballs. Now that’s not the WORST thing in the world you can eat but definitely not the best. What I did is mixed ground turkey with ground beef (healthy healthy) and then used whole wheat spaghetti instead of regular pasta. Simple adjustments.

What I realized though as I was eating this dinner, and let me say for most people this may seem like common sense, was that you can eat as healthy as you want but if you don’t portion control you’re SOL (that means “shit out of luck” for you newbs).

With this new realization in mind I need to make over more than my meals. I need to make over the way I eat completely. Stay tuned for how that goes…
