Beginning to see the light, I think

Another gut-check in the links this morning.  I really like the message in this post on MDA.  And, like the ketosis reminder on Fat Head last week, it made me take a hard look at my current eating practices.

What do I see when I do that?  I've slipped.  A quote from the link:

SANE—or high quality, fat burning, and health promoting foods—are rich in water, fiber, and protein and are the basis of a Primal lifestyle: non-starchy vegetables, seafood, meat, eggs, berries, citrus, nuts, seeds, etc.

Even looking at yesterday, which was a relatively good day, I see some non-SANE items.  Doritos are not SANE.  Chocolate chips are not SANE.  And going over old posts of mine, more evidence:
Fortune cookies are not SANE.  Godiva Pearls are not SANE.  Chocolate blueberries are not SANE.  Boursin cheese spread is not SANE.  Ice cream is unlikely to be SANE. 

So my current actual weight, whatever it might be, is, I think, the result of eating in a non-SANE way.  I'm not getting nutrition with enough of my calories that my body is asking me to please try again - and stuffing the not-so-useful stuff away to get it out of my bloodstream.

Changes would look like this, I think:

• Avoid the junk food more strictly.
• Let Lee and Elizabeth go to Cold Stone without me, if they believe they need to go (they don't, but I'm tired of being the food sheriff).
• Swap in - as I did last night - more ketogenic options (i.e., healthy fats like olives and cheese) and more food closer to its natural state (like the cherry tomatoes fresh off the plants). 
• Limit the treats - make them treats again.   And make them high quality stuff - a square of Lindt 85%, rather than a milk chocolate almond or some m&ms.

That's doable.  And it will - eventually - help with some of the achiness and general ugh I've been feeling over the past couple of weeks.
