February Goals End of Month

Go grocery shopping once a week - definitely did! This worked well, but we need to budget our weeks more evenly<3 Work out 6x a week - I will count this as good, because I definitely was active more than 24 days this month. Just because it’s a Rest Day, doesn’t mean you can “cheat” - meh, probably not so much Gluten-free completely - nope, not yet..but I’m trying..money is too tight...

so...i suck at eating today

but i made some amazing white wine and lemon risotto with chicken…and now I am soooo so full, I can’t move. made healthy changes to it, I added white wine and lemon juice and water instead of sodium-ridden bullion cubes and cream. I also took out the butter, and used a small amount of olive oil, and capers instead. =] So, yummy…my arm aches from stirring, and my tummy is so...

just talked to my best friend in the world

we’ve been friends for almost 8 years now, which is crazy! She lives on the other side of the country from me, and we haven’t seen each other in over two years now. I miss her everyday. Yet, I am amazed that despite the fact that we live on opposite sides of the country, do not share daily lives, talk maybe once a month….we pick up like it was yesterday. We share, and talk and...

so i woke up early

like 4 hours early, I don’t have class until noon. I figured, up early, why not work out? So I did the 4-minute workout once through, and went to start on the second one, and my wrist flared up with a sharp pain as soon as I started on mountain climbers, and now I can’t put any weight on it… wtf?

Feb 21st

books-and-bones asked: Hey just a quick question about the intake, is it what i consume in total or what i consume after exercise
eg if i eat 1400 calories and then burn 200 my total for that day is 1200
or is my total 1400 because thats what i ate
(man i hope that makes sense)

haha! The water is out here temporarily, and our dishes have piled up as a result. See, we were just having really low pressure, so we went and reported it on Friday. On Tuesday they told us they would be here to fix it. Today, we are informed that it’s a serious problem with a pipe on the building in front of ours, and we were just the first affected. Thanks so much…. GRRR

I live 800 miles away from my family

and I haven’t spoken to my step-father since Christmas break, even though I have called him multiple times. I called my mother on the 8th of this month and my mother called me today when she only had 8 minutes of free time, because when I called her back 8 minutes later, she was too busy to talk to me. That means that I somehow she hasn’t had time to call me for almost a week. So,...

My Amazing Protein and Iron PACKED dinner

So, I have been consistantly low on both my protein and iron intake, because although I do eat meat, it is very rarely. I was a vegetarian for such a long time, that even taking a bite of a fatty piece of steak will keep me from eating meat for a few weeks or so. Sooo…I researched some of the best veggies and ways to get iron and protein into a meal, and I made up this DELICIOUS, low-calorie...

and then I thought I was getting sick with my sore throat last night…so I took some Tylenol Cold…. and I think my world was spinning, I couldn’t walk to the store very well… and I was asleep by 8.30pm. Turns out, just because you have a good tolerance for Marijuana, doesn’t mean that some good ol’ tylenol Cold can’t fuck you up haha
