Going Green no. 41 (act. 1 and 2)

Okay, I feel guilty. And lazy. I know I could more than I do to keep my planet going. I don't know about starting a garden. I sort of have a puce thumb (somewhere between green and brown). I would love to compost but I really don't do that much cooking (my grandmother does and no way would she compost). I really wnat to get a Prius, but my truck is paid off and my money is set aside for other things.

I keep looking at all the local farmer's markets and wishing they were local. Most are inside Houston or on the other side of town. Of the links listed, I liked Local Harvest best, because they had stuff available online for sale as well as listing for smaller markets, but I wish the markets were a little longer lasting. Saturdays are every other for me and it is so hard to get up so early to drive across Houston or out to Seabrook and Nassau Bay. (I am going to try and get to the Nassau Bay one next weekend because I might be able to find it.)

Fitness No. 40

I have done all the steps in this little activity and I can't say that I am surprised by the numbers. I know all those things because I go to the gym every morning, but it does sting. I don't believe that numbers are always the way to interpret one's health. Health is more than just weighing a certain amount and working out so much in a day. While my weight may not be the "ideal" for everyone else, I don't feel like I am dying every minute.

I do plan to change the way I eat, but not to fix numbers. I don't want to obsess or become consumed by the numbers. I want to eat healthier, try new recipes and develop more adult tastes than I have now. I do plan to exercise more (mostly by playing tennis), but again, not because of any numbers that someone else makes up for what is ideal. I want to because I enjoy playing.

Nutrition #39 (Act. 1 and 2)

I like being able to look up nutritional information about the food I am going to eat. I have a tendency to run out for fast food, even though I am very conscious about trying to eat healthier, so it very helpful to find information about the best things to eat when I am running around.

Here is a recipe for Tofu-Coconut Curry, that I really want to try. It has high calories for four people, but serving six it drops dramatically, but I and not really sure about the amount of noodles I have included. I also switched the sugar to splenda which also helped drop some calories. I might have to try this both ways to double check it deliciousness.

Making (Or Listening) to Music Together (No. 26)

I actually signed up for Project Playlist, then built my own playlist, and posted it on my myspace profile. I like being able to see what is out there on the web. I also like being able to share what I am listening to with others.
