I need inspiration...

...to be healthier. I feel like every time I have the urge to make something I end up making a sugary desert. Now this may sound good to ya'll and I know my family generally enjoys it. But my body does not. The more often I eat sugar the more my body wants it. And wow does my body want it. Every few minutes there's this little voice whispering "ohhhh, go find some chocolate, it'll make you feel better." or "hmmm, maybe if you baked some cookies it would warm you up". Thanks mind, so helpful. Looking over this blog almost every post has been about desert and that's only a very small percentage of the things I've baked. I only post about the interesting and new things. I've found that I have this thing for baking. If my day isn't going well, I'm sad, or anything else like that I just want to bake something. Or cook something. But sugar is comfort food so generally baking is better.
Have you ever had that feeling like you just have to make something? My mum always said that when they were younger my oldest sister had to create something everyday and my oldest brother had to build something everyday. Well, I seem to need to bake something everyday. And cooking some normal everyday meal just doesn't cut it. I want something new, fun and exciting. And so I turn to deserts because well, there seems to be an endless supply of amazing deserts to make. I've had this attitude for the past couple weeks, I'm not sure where it came from, "oh looks sugary, fattening food, eat it it won't make you gain weight!" Umm...ya...It does. Not sure why my brain thought it was a good idea... But it seemed totally rational at the time. Either that or I was just blocking my rational side and not letting it tell my brain what I really should be thinking. Well, I need to get back in shape. For my body and my mind. I've gotten much, much too lazy of late. "Exercise, what's that?" Ya, I know horrible right? But I've made a promise to myself! I will get in shape, lose a few pounds, stop eating desert and get my metabolism working again. And so, I will be baking fewer deserts for a while. But since I seem to need to make something I'm hoping to start cooking more. Actual food, not deserts. Maybe some alternative foods, not just normal foods. Some "healthy" foods, some "weird" foods. I'm not sure what yet. I keep finding different "diets" I want to try but I can't settle on one that I'll want to stick with. And so for now, until I actually find one I like I'm just going to do my own thing. If any of you ever run across a recipe you think I'd like please do send it my way. I can't promise I'll make it but it is highly likely I will. And if it turns out well I just might make it again for you. ;)
Hmm, I'm not sure what this post was really about...but I think my main reason in writing it was that I wanted to let ya'll know that I may not be posting as much or if am it will be about healthy stuff mainly.
Remember if you come across any recipes please send them my way! They will be much appreciated!
