i am what i eat – angie warren – bay area photographer

since parting ways with the creative mama, i’ve had high intentions of taking bits and pieces of my writing from there and blending it in with my photography here. well, you may say i’ve failed – but the truth is i’ve been so busy i haven’t made the time.

all that is about to change. this being my little corner of the internet for friends, family, clients, and fellow photographers – i have some great ideas in the works and look forward to building a community among those of you who visit me here.

something i’m excited to share with you is a big change i’m making in myself. i’ve just finished reading an eye-opening book by gillian mckeith, you are what you eat. as a former weight watchers addict, i found myself able to lose weight and fit into those delicious size 4s – but ultimately i’ve not taught myself any good eating habits. now after baby #2 and ahem, not fitting into size 4s any longer things are going to change. seeing said bad habits passed along to my boys is enough to make me ready to tackle this, not to mention my own feeling sluggish and tired, unhealthy, and a list of other issues i’m ready to beat!

i shared my new-found goodness (aka: the book) with marta recently, and together we have committed to making a change in ourselves and our families. marta is blogging about her own unique journey in cleansing on her photography blog, be sure to check in with her as well!

so what is my plan?

well one of the biggest things will be a change in what i am putting into my body. those of you who know me, know my slight obsession with the nearby starbucks. that’s right, no more for me. at least not for the next month. cutting it out is #1 priority. of course along with this comes the daily diet coke. i’m not saying this will be easy or fun. but i’m committed.

i’m really going to be mindful of the foods i’m bringing home for my family. where do they come from? how beneficial are they for us? there are so many incredible recourses for recipes and ideas – i can’t wait to dig in and share with you all! so, i’m hoping you’ll keep me accountable as i share this journey with you all. and if you’re down for it – join me!
