I started my first blog on blog-city 5 years ago this past Monday (March 29th). I lost my old blog-city archive because it was on Tina's old server and I'm not sure if it's still around so my archive only goes back to 2006.
There have been so many in my life since then and I'm floored when I look back at old posts and see what life was like.
I started my blog before Tina and I were together. We were both in relationships with other people. I was not yet a parent. I had just started a new job and was still living uncomfortably in my body- and had not yet had breast reduction surgery. My Grandma was still alive.
On my blogiversary, Grandma would have turned 76 years old. Man I miss her so much. Every single day something reminds me of her. I still tear up pretty often when it hits me that I can't see her or talk to her again.
Monday I also began a pretty intense diet change. I'm not on a "diet" but I am definitely changing what I eat. I've always been one to eat what I want when I want, and then eat everyone else's too.
Then I saw this movie. I knew halfway into the movie that I was never going to eat the same way again. At first I was mad at myself for watching the movie, but I'm glad I did because it took the blinders off. I knew these things already, but seeing the images and hearing stories from the farmers and employees helped me.
I've been needing to change how I eat anyway for my overall health. The testosterone injections make it more likely for me to have cardiovascular illness and I want to do everything i can to improve my health and stay around to torture Tina as long as possible.
I'm going to try to eat organic and all natural foods whenever I can, especially foods that come from animals. I want to avoid chemicals, preservatives and man made junk from entering my body. I won't deny myself an occasional piece of meat that comes from an animal that was actually raised in a pasture and was slaughtered humanely. Not fed corn and GMOs or other chemicals, and all of the other terrible things that happen in the meat processing plants.
I can't afford to eat fish often but I will eat it when I can.
I'm not sure what to call this diet but I need to find a way to get more protein in my diet since I wil be working out again next week. Can any of my veggie pals out there tell me which foods out there are highest in protein but aren't from animals?
How's everyone doing?
