I also start getting a horrible taste in my mouth if I forget to drink water... so these things sort of take care of me, without having to really think about it. :)<br /><br />Random Musings from the KristenHead — <a href="http://kristenhead.blogspot.com/2014/04/e-is-for-elementary-and-elephants.html" rel="nofollow">E is for 'Elementary' (and Elephants)</a>Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827651632884248765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-7883129134205594362014-04-07T12:32:10.960-04:002014-04-07T12:32:10.960-04:00Peanuts are very healthy and an excellent brain bo...Peanuts are very healthy and an excellent brain booster. Cheese is good too, in moderation. <br /><br />I can relate though. I haven't been working out as much and I've recently changed my eating habits in the evening, which is when I'd eat unhealthy snacks such as chips. Now I'm eating a sliced apple with peanut butter, a slice of cheddar cheese, and sometimes a rice cake later. <br /><br />I am remembering to eat and drink water. I learned my lesson! But thank you for being concerned, Gina. :) Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-89228412457110557732014-04-07T12:28:53.457-04:002014-04-07T12:28:53.457-04:00Thank you for inviting me to your bloggers' bo...Thank you for inviting me to your bloggers' book clue!

BUT with that being said, once I remember to eat, I usually eat all the wrong food on my little breaks... like muffins, chocolate, peanuts, crackers and cheese! I'm now paying for all of the writing I have been doing because I've skipped my workouts tremendously while working on my novel. I've gained 10 pounds this winter! I know I will get my groove back but it's hard juggling writing and networking and real life. I've already lost 5 since gaining 10 last month.

If I always did that, I wouldn't eat lunch until dinnertime!

It's so easy to resort to processed food out of a can when you're pressed for time. I was also worried about all the time I was spending sitting down, so I got a trek desk.
