Gotta Get Up Early In The Mornin'...

because tomorrow I officially start eatin' healthier and also start my exercise routine. Yeah, yeah... I know I said Arbor Day was the day, but if I keep puttin' on the feedbag like I have been, I'll be waddlin' my way through the house by then.


Here's a question. Can someone please tell me why is it food that's really good for you, tastes like sh*t? (For the record, I've never really tasted sh*t, but you know what I mean)


Spinach is a perfect example. Its like eatin' grass. Heck, why not tie a cowbell around my neck and send me out to pasture? I'll get three squares a day and keep the lawn well manicured; killin' two birds with one stone.



Sure, I can douse it in butter but doesn't that defeat the purpose of "healthy eatin'?" Maybe if I get me some anchor tattoos on my forearms it will taste better. "I yam what I yam."



Hubs went to the healthfood store to pick me up a few things. (Lucky me) Since I'm one of those people who have a hard time swallowin' pills, most everythin' has to be in liquid form which is 100 times worse as far as taste goes.



So now I'm takin' Cod Liver Oil. (Please just shoot me now)
Believe me when I tell ya, even with a Big Mac chaser; it couldn't get that nasty taste out of my mouth.


Next is another liquid tidbit called Flax Seed Oil. Why the heck do I need this stuff anyway?? It is so horrid, I would rather have to take it as a suppository than ingest this crap. But alas, they don't make it "that way" so down the hatch it must go. Besides, it would probably make my butt pucker anyway.(Yep, it really is that bad)


Finally he shows me a multi vitamin to take. "Look how small it is!" he says tryin' to convince me. "I bet you can take this without any problems."


I swear, the thing was the size of The Goodyear Blimp. Oh yeah no doubt that will definitely get lodged halfway down my esophagus on my first attempt. I'd better practice doin' the Heimlich maneuver on myself and keep a chair handy.


So with that bein' said, I think I'll wolf down what's left of the hidden stash of Christmas cookies. Shhhhh... I've still got a few hours left.

You're killin' me here! LOL! My Mom takes the Cod Live Oil in pill form (More like a gel pill) and IT IS the Goodyear Blimp! LOL! I don't think anything with the chaser "oil" can taste good or go down without incident. Think "motor OIL" and how good your motor will be working if you manage to take it and not puke, LOL! Hang in there, I know you can do it! B=)

We can't have your butt puckerin...LOL
Love the GAP BAND song you've got playin...
Now when all that "natural" stuff gets in your system, you'll have to add "You Dropped the Bomb on Me"! :)
I'm going to have a brownie...

OMG, I think I'd rather just eat less and exercise more than take that crap. Matter of fact, I think I burned a few extra calories just laughing at your post!!! You sure you don't want to wait till Arbor Day? LOL!!!

You are so funny!!! You need to be a comedian and do standup!

Now, the spinach...you can add fresh garlic chopped while cooking and make it taste Fantastic with a fresh grate tiny pinch of nutmeg...YUM!

As for the Flax Seed Oil and the Cod Liver Oil.....add it to a chocolate flavored protein drink with frozen cherries, blueberries...peaches and some vanilla rice milk with ice. You won't taste a thing my friend.

If the vitamin comes in a capsule form open it and sprinkle it in your shake to...

Hope that helps. I am back on my healthy way to live kick to.

Hugs,
Tink

Goob... I watch hubs take cod liver oil and as he is downing a teaspoon of it, I'm making a mental note to kiss him AFTER he eats breakfast! I'd rather risk a goatee full of oatmeal smeared across my mug than smell what he just swallowed! Flax seed is good for dolly stuffin' but I'm not so sure about injesting the stuff. And to make matters worse, this stuff is FAR from cheap! You pay out the bung for such disgusting "feel betters" ♥
