Balanced

Everyone knows, my favorite word and number one goal in life; not only nutrition and fitness is balance. Lately, I've been learning to find my balance in all aspects of life- seeing family AND friends, I'm feeling better exercising how I want to exercise (not how I feel I should be exercising- i.e. doing yoga or walking some days instead of running), eating what I want to eat... which lately, has been a lot of protein... and I realized, not only do I think I'm eating a lot of protein because I'm trying to gain more muscle... but I don't think I was eating enough for a while there. Now I'm back to eating more protein, and a balance of carbs and fats, and I feel great.

This morning for breakfast, I got in protein, dairy, fruits and grains... 1/3 cup egg whites (equal to 2 eggs), 1/2 cup granola over 6oz plain nonfat yogurt, and a sweet nectarine. It seems like a lot, but really it was the perfect size breakfast, and I feel full but not stuffed!

Today is another lazy day... however not as lazy as yesterday. I'm doing some more packing type things this morning, then I'll be exercising, and going to do some grocery shopping with my mom later on. I'm not sure what I'm doing for dinner tonight... I have a couple of recipes and I can't decide which one I want to try!!

I'm still accepting questions, I'll post some answers later!
