My new obsession

In some form another it seems my life just needs to revolve around food. For several years I had an unhealthy relationship with food but I am mostly past that now (I have the occasional relapse when I'm upset but it doesn't last long). Now I'm just really into food in a positive way. I'm a Food Network junkie and particularly get into Rachael Ray for her quick recipes that, for the most part, use common ingredients. And yes, I do subscribe to her magazine.

Now I've got a new interest relating to food: http://www.sparkpeople.com/. Now, I realize that when this site comes up it talks about diet plans and losing weight and blah blah blah. I really only use the nutrition section and I track what I eat with the goal of having a healthy lifestyle. Basically, I have an online food journal. This is completely FREE if anyone else would be interested in joining my obsession. ;)

It's really cool though because I can enter in my information (age, height, weight, target weight loss if that's your thing, etc) and as I enter what food I've eaten on any particular day it tracks the calories, protein, fats and carbs. I think it's really neat and it's definitely brought to light some things for me. It's also inspired me to drink more water each day. I've only been at this a week but I can tell a difference in my complexion already (I better after drinking 64 oz of water a day!! I live in the bathroom now).

Feel free to check it out... I think it's pretty cool :)
