I’ve never really thought too much about my overall diet, except that I try to make sure I enough fiber nowadays and I tried not to eat at Wendy’s every day when working in downtown Pittsburgh.

But recently, several friends of mine seem to be turning to vegetarianism for a variety of reasons. It made me think: maybe my somewhat haphazard diet so far will lead to me dying at age 40. I haven’t felt or medically had any detriments so far (aside from some pudginess around the tummy), but it’s early. I wouldn’t be surprised if my body is a dormant den of diabetes waiting to activate.

So maybe it’s time to start paying attention to what goes in my mouth. I doubt that I could really give up meat – even temporarily – but I can certain try to limit the amount that I eat in a week and certainly cut down on the amount of sugar and soda I ingest.

And, on the flipside, I really need to find a way to kickstart a regular exercise routine, be it through my Wii or the gym at work. Either way, that’s something that is almost completely missing from my life.

That, and more vegetables and fruit. And more breakfast.
Now that I think about it, I think a bunch of this would be accomplished by waking up an hour earlier every day.

We’ll see if this actually goes anywhere in a month or so.
