I may never win this argument.

This morning while enjoying my coffee I took a second to think about what mom said to me yesterday. She was talking about how she only wants to drink organic milk, which I got and I need to watch what I eat. My response back is that you know when you have to budget and you have child care to pay, organic milk can break you or organic products in general.

AND..

What I eat?

Do you even look at what I eat? Do you know what it is that I am cooking, the ingredients, the quality, the nutrition level..I didn't lose weight on my own without watching what I eat...does she even know it's a fuckin lifestyle change, one that I think I have under control very well.....

My mom: well you at a lot of rice....oh and that stuff, what is that btw???

She's talking about Cous Cous. Which mine is whole wheat. I do eat rice but when I cook rice for myself at home I use brown jasmine rice. Pasta- again whole wheat organic shit...I cook with ground turkey or chicken. I eat balanced..What the fuck?????

I just don't get it. Should I be eating carrots and a head of lettuce 5 times a day???? I doubt enjoying pancakes with my daughter 2 times a month will bring my health to a halt..

This conversation can just be soooooooooooooooo annoying sometimes......................

Do you have a regular workout routine?  What's your favorite form of exercise?

I do exercise about 4-5 times a week. Seems excessive? Not really. It helps relieves stress, anxiety, tensions *ahem and most of all, I stay healthy. I do this routine called Turbo Kick. It's an aerobic kick boxing mixed with dance moves. I love it so much, I got certified to teach. I volunteer one day a week.

The other part of routine is weight training. I love it. And no ladies, you won't bulk up. Trust me. I take the stairs alot at work. I have this little obsession with my rear and keeping it nice, sorry.

To mix it up a bit, I started running back in May. I'm neutral on it. I do it more often now than I did before.
