I realized, despite my 'do-good' intentions some people are just plain evil. In my everyday life, I'm a social worker. I thought I finally found a path that would allow me to help people share my passion for healthy living. What I got caught up in are a bunch of legal road blocks. For all of the wonderful people out there who need my help, I'm letting the few b*stards get me down. Hopefully my funk will be just for one day. I need to keep my chin up and press onwards.
But I had a funny thought come into my head - what to do when upset? My immediate thought was to give up all my hard work and question everything. Adopt a 'who cares' mentality and dig into a giant plate full of mac n' cheese with a large side of french fries. Yup...that was my first thought. Then I looked at myself in my 'skinny jeans' and got a grip, real quick.
Why am I sharing this? Well, my fellow savvy foodies, it is to confess that NO ONE is perfect. I have learned so much information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and there are moments when you just want to throw in the towel and say, "It's too hard to be good".
My alternative to throwing my car into drive and speeding to the nearest grocery store to re-stock my pantry with processed crap (with cheese)...I'm writing. There in black and white staring me in the face, I have figured out a healthy channel for my frustrations.
So thank you for reading because writing, for me, is re-affirming my commitment to being a savvy foodie.

Savvy Foodie... You are an inspiration to us all!
My mother-in-law has convinced my wife that we must throw out every canned food that is more than 1 year old. I don't know what to make of this as the expiration dates on the cans don't indicate this at all. And I have eaten chili from a can that claimed it expired 2 years prior without any problems I ever noticed. Needless to say, I don't have that many grocery store emergencies. Except milk. Gotta have milk.
I find that keeping the junk out of the pantry will deter you from consuming it. However, when it's not there...that's when you may need to haul ass to the super market for a quick fix ;0
