Living in a society where "fast food" or "going out" to eat is todays normal way of life, I realize miss the days of "home cooked" meals. You know the meals, that moms have slaved over....pouring their hearts and souls in good delish foods. **sigh** Well, it seems those days a over!!! Yes, I am guilty of getting caught up in this crazy cycle, but now I really want to "Get back to the basics".
A little over a month ago, I join a "Boot Camp" program, mainly to start losing weight and change my way of life. I have been playing the "I will lose weight" game for too long, and unfortuantely, my attention was caught when I had to go to the hospital. Right then and there, with beeps sounds echoing in my head, nurse pushing a needle in my arm to get blood, I realize that I need to do something.
Joining this boot camp has incorporated alot of "lost" things we forget as we get older....well, let me speak for myself. Because my life is always on the "rush" during the day, when I get home, the last thing I want to do is "COOK".....and thus, starts the ugly habit of fast fooding and going out to eat. I use to cook all the time....had a schedule like clock work, but when my kids got older, I thought...."eh, they can fend for themselves"....and I gradually stopped cooking. Now, I can cook....but all the wrong and YUMMY things!!
My boot camp instructor has introduced us to "Gourmet Nutrition" cook book and I realized that there was no "fast" way to prepare this food. I am going to have to cook my meals again, but cooking on a way healthier level. This is going to be interesting, but I am looking forward to it. Getting back to cooking......but in a life change style!
