Why a blog?

Why am I doing this?  I'm not a terribly huge "share with the world" kind of person.  However, it's almost February and I'm doing really well at sticking to my new goals to eat cleanly as part of a "lifestyle revamp" that I've undertaken.  I started this lifestyle change in January - not really as a resolution, because I know that I just break resolutions - because trying to eat exclusively clean and healthy between Thanksgiving and New Year's is just stupid.  

I haven't told too many people about this new change (other than the b/f, the handful of friends I have, and my immediate coworkers - all of whom eat with me regularly) because I feel like that sets up goals and expectations in/with/related to other people that I am just not interested in maintaining.  It might be nice if other people read this someday, but it's not necessary because I plan to keep posting things anyway.

January was awesome and full of that "woohoo, let's do this," and I'd like to keep it going.  I think that chronicling how I'm continuing to eat well (with lots of new recipes and foods) is a great idea because it seems like a fun and motivational thing to do. 

Additionally, I understand that I could use something like Pintrest to keep track of all of the neat links and things I find online, but I think that will probably just suck time out of my life that I'm not willing to give up in mass quantities (a la, YouTube).  I have decided to stay away from Pintrest for as long as possible for that very reason.  Also, this will be a good place for rants (food related and otherwise).

So, that's why I've decided to start a blog.  We'll see how long this lasts...
