Time to Diet

Sadly I have not had too many fun experiences with food in the past couple weeks, but good news! I AM STARTING A DIET. Now don't give me the typical, "Oh, you don't need to lose weight." This is not a diet to lose weight but to manage what foods and drinks I intake on a daily basis. I noticed that I drink a lot of chocolate milk and soda, and eat a lot of chocolate, sugar-filled foods, and Five Guys burgers AND fries. That's just not cutting it. I realized that I needed to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, healthier meat, and juices. To start off this new diet I packed an entire lunch for the next day of school. It consisted of 3 different drinks. 1: Water to flush out any toxins from previous junk food. 2: Apple juice to provide healthy sugars and nutrition for my body. 3: Cranberry-Grape juice to also provide healthy sugars and nutrition for my body. For food I packed a banana for potassium and nutrition, an apple because "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", strawberries for vitamin c, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for carbs, and a poptart in the morning because I'm addicted. I also put together a salad consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, turkey, and cheese. I may have also eaten some chocolate during the day...IT WAS SO TEMPTING.
