However, my eating was quite off... I had a cookie in the morning, and then I ate WAY more dough and cookie pieces than I had intended- so much I felt pretty full all day and didn't even 'need' to eat my lunch and snacks that I had. I don't like doing that... I know that means I'm consuming too much and my body is 'off'... actually, I've felt quite 'off' for a few days now.
I've gotta admit it guys, I know I went a little overboard already this holiday season... my pants are tight!!
I strive for balance above everything, and I think stress of exams as well as the everyday stressors of life have taken ahold of my self control...
I don't like to let that happen, so I am making it public that as soon as Christmas week is over I'm getting back into balance!
No more crazy sweets, only clean eating, solid exercise and balanced behavior. The way I love to live, the way I feel best!
So before I give you my eats for the day I present...
52 things...
10 things I plan to do over break
a.k.a Getting my 'balance' back
1. Exercise like I want to
This means cardio, 6x a week, as well as strength training.
I want to gain muscle and lose fat like I know I can!!
2. Read more.
I want to finally finish the book I've been working on, as well as a couple more books. I love reading and I really haven't had time to this past semester. It will be good to be able to get lost in a story again. It's always so exciting, yet so calming and comforting at the same time!
3. Start journaling again
Writing is such a release for me, I love to write down my thoughts and hopes... I have an online journal I write in every once and a while, I want to write in it more!
4. Blog more
Blogging really helped me get back into healthier eating habits, and I haven't been too consistent with it lately- I love blogging, and I want to share my life with you more, as well as recipes and other fun things I haven't been able to do with my busy schedule!
5. Get back into Yoga
Lack of money has prevented me from doing something I love and that keeps me centered. With more work I'll have some extra money and I should be able to get back into doing yoga once a week, which will be so good for my body and my soul.
6. Start Karate again
I've been away from Martial arts for almost two years now, and I miss it! I hope to start going back once a week and get back into it!
7. Get out of R.I.!
I love to travel, and I've been here almost a month without leaving the state. I hope to go to either Canada or South Carolina with my friend on a little road trip, and get some new experiences!
8. Catch up with old friends
A lot of my friends from high school are home again, but only for a short amount of time- I want to see all of them as much as I can, because true friends are so important to me... and I hate to think college is pulling any of us apart, but thats life... so I see them when I am able to!
9. Work more
As much as I despise being behind a register some days, I really like being financially secure- and having money to put into savings for things I want to do in the future, so the more I can work and make money the better!
10. Cook.
I want to try SO many new recipes, and hopefully make some of my own as well! Cooking always makes me happy, so I will defininitely be doing a lot of it this vacation!
Ready for my crazy daily eats?
I spent all morning doing this:
I licked dough here and there, and quite a few 'scrap' pieces went in my mouth.
When lunchtime rolled around I had a hummus&light laughing cow/spinach sammie on an arnold's sandwich thin with a pear and some carrots.
While packing some gifts I had a glass of 100% grapefruit juice (x2).
For an afternoon snack I had some sharp cheddar cheese, wheat crackers and a clementine.
I spent the evening making a video that will be posted shortly, as well as these:
For dinner I had a chunk of the leftover Italian Lasagna as well as the rest of my brussels sprouts I roasted with evoo, s&p
For dessert I had 3 (count- 3!) handfuls of mint m&ms.
See what I said? Self control, off the wall...
But the way I see it, it's more motivation to succeed when this is all over.
Have a great night, video will be up asap!!
