Fast food nation

We really do live in a fast food nation with such poor food quality, its disgusting. I've been learning a lot recently about food and the effects on the body and such and have been making huge changes in my diet for the better and I am already feeling better about myself.
Tonight a woman ordered a huge quantity of Applebees Oriental dressing so I went to get it for her, straight out of the giant economy sized container, and couldn't help but let my curiosity get the best of me and read the ingrediants, I was disgusted! I dont eat the Ori dressing because Ive read in "Eat this, not that" that it is one of the worst things applebees offers on their menu, and to top it off, it looks just like GLUE! If I were to empty a bottle of Elmers school glue in a dressing cup and put it next to a cup of the Ori dressing, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
So whats in it? well for starters, its all big words that are difficult to pronounce (A good sign that its not "all natural") including MSG, hydrolyzed oils, oh and yeah here is any easy one to pronounce: CHICKEN FAT!! Really?? chicken fat?? was that really necessary to put in there? that is disgusting!
Well thats my ranting and raving for tonight.
By the way, someone at work today asked me "Have you been working out? you look like it" I love when people say that to me because then I know my hard work is starting to pay off :o)

My first pilates class

I know I have been a total slacker on blogging... but oh well, Ill try to get better at it :o) I just don't spend much time online these days. I went to the Anytime Fitness gym in Central Point today and did 45 min on the elliptical trainer and a 50 min pilates class, that was hard but felt good, I was proud of myself that I actually did it. It focuses a lot on core strength, which I dont have, haha, so it was definitely challenging and I am still feeling it. My hip hurts too for some odd reason, probably just part of being old.
My boyfriends brother has a huge crush on one of my girlfriends who invited us to the gym and to the pilates class and so he suprisingly volunteered to do the pilates class with us (I think he was trying to impress her) kudos to him haha He was whining to me "Im gonna be the only guy there" so I told him "No, you'll be the only straight guy there" and sure enough.. the only other man in the class was umm lets just say he was on the "flamboyant" side of life lol
I liked that gym a lot better than Grants Pass's Anytime fitness, Im just not impressed with them at all. In addition to working out more I have also been focusing more on nutrition and studying up on macrobiotic diets and have learned a lot of really great information and am putting it to good use.
Yesterday was a fun day. Crystal and I went shopping, had lunch, bummed around town for awhile and then she took me to meet her friend who is a proffessional photographer and I got to see her studio and chat with with and much to my excitement she invited me to do a photoshoot with her soon (of Crystal) and teach me new techniques and such. I am really looking forward to it :o)
