I’m sorry is it too late for this blog? Well better late than never, or something like that.
I don’t like to make New Year’s resolutions. They are cliche and always make you feel worse before better. Going cold turkey or all out for anything is never a good way at starting/ending a habit. But this year is different for me. This year I will be getting married (that is if I ever find a venue) and I have also started my new career. With both of these new things happening I have a more profound view on health. So I have set a New Year’s resolution: Cook and cook healthy.
Now this isn’t anything new for me I have been preparing for it for years. I have watched documentaries on food that covered everything from; the fast food evils, to how Zen masters cook. i have also read book and invested in five cookbooks. I have been working on my fiance to eat more veggies and learn a few cooking tricks of his own. But preparing for some thing and actually doing it are two totally different things.
My biggest concern is general laziness. It’s a disease that I have suffered from from birth. A disease nurtured by our culture and cherished by millions. Somewhat like a crooked spine there is no denying it and no short term remedy. But I’m going to let myself embrace it. The first step is to admit I have a problem;
- I would like someone to cook for me every night.
- I would like to never have to do dishes after a long day.
- I would like to give up and eat pizza every night.
- I would like to have so much money that I could eat out EVERY night.
But more than all of that I want to be in control of my life. You are what you eat, and I want full control of it.
