Oh Boy....

Another huge gap between posts....

Life literally fell apart for a few days.  I'll spare you all the gory details, but....it really really was awful.  I am kind of praying that it will readjust.  It's one of those awfuls that I think will be with me for a while.  But, life carries on -- and my lifestyle change is sticking with it....

I've been mixing up my eating routine.  I have been cooking a lot more than (or maybe then?)  I was.  I was super sick of Lean Cusine meals -- although to their credit, I still grab them for a quick and easy lunch.  They are good, don't get me wrong, but you can only eat them so much.

I've also recently discovered that Weight Watchers makes...ICE CREAM.  Ho-ly shit.  Dark chocolate covered raspberry bars for 2 points.  Yes, please.   Also, who knew that wonton wrappers are actually good for you, and you can use them in a trillion and one different ways since you can bake them, not fry them. 

Just so you all know, I am totally, completely, head-over-heels in love with Pinterest.  Hello healthy living made simple.  Easy, kind of on the go really healthy recipes...like bunches of them.   I am also head-over-toes in love with this hand stamped ring I found on there today.  I want to stamp the quote "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be" on it.  I will own it one day....whenever I get my shit together enough to afford it.  It's going to be great on my finger.  :) A little bit of inspiration with me at all times -- I think so. 

Work-outs are still going.  It's hard to believe it's almost been two whole months.  I'm not as crazy about it as I was at the beginning, but I am still going 5-6 days a week.  Switching up my routine for cardio, and still trying to work up the nerve to do some weight training -- although, I still think I'm a little ways from that.

I promise to try to make my posts waay more often.  Hopefully, life is getting better.

Until next time, I'll leave you with this:

Dear borderline too beefy guy at the gym today -
      I totally understand now how hard you work for your physique.  Kudos to you for living a good lifestyle, however, you might think about toning it down a bit.  And even if you don't decide to tone it down, please refrain from flexing and being in love with yourself in the mirrors while you are on the elliptical.  I mean, if you want to 'kiss your guns' while you are in your bathroom -- ok, I can live with that -- but it's wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling mirrors here dude, I CAN SEE YOU. 
                  Love - someone who just wants to try to be healthy.  


hold on to why your doing this.



remember, remember.
