swingchickiejack and i both need to lose weight. we're back to eating a lot of crap, and we have the squishy bodies and sluggish energy levels to show for it. the problem is that usually one of us is trying to get healthier while the other eats whatever they want... so one will be struggling to stay on track while the other one is ordering a cheesesteak across the table. :)
so, starting this morning, we launched "project hawtness". we're both getting back on track at the same time, and will hopefully motivate each other to stay honest when either of us has a weak moment. of all perfect timing, i read a news story this morning about how france is now the 2nd largest McDonalds market in the world, but that they're now up in arms because a McDonald's is going into the Louvre... my first thought was "ugh, why are they ruining the louvre with a mickey d's?"... then it hit me that, if i'm so annoyed by that, i should not be putting said mickey d's products into my own body a couple of times a week.
AND -- this is more, pardon the pun, food for thought... an interesting TED video about how urbanism and food (especially meat) consumption are affecting each other. sobering news... so, add in more locally-grown fruits and veggies to the mix.
