Back to it - update

Ah, so my lentils came out delici-oso, I did Pilates this morning and walked at lunch. I'm still pretty full from those beans, and so I might just eat an apple and maybe some cucumber for dinner. Today was a huge WIN for me getting back on track!

I did consider going to the vending machine for some chocolate, but, luckily for my body, I didn't have any cash. And the craving passed. Yay me!

And I'm getting back

This is the base to my lunches for the rest of the week: onions, carrots, celery, bok choy and garlic. Gonna add a bag of lentils and vegetable broth to it. Yum!!! Maybe that pizza really did do something positive for me! Might post another pic when it's done if it still looks yummy, but lentils usually don't :)

Ready, set, ohhh. . .

I'm ready to get going again. What's that, pizza for lunch? Le sigh. Tomorrow is a new day. And I know I'm not the only one. But I have felt disgusting since lunch, so I think that may have been the catalyst needed to get me back on track. Or, something. Sounds good, right?!

I said "somewhat" for a reason. . .

Yes, I am trying to be healthy. Yes, I am trying to eat nutrient-dense food and exercise regularly. But clearly, I'm not going to be uppity about it because right now, all I want to do is go buy a pack of m&m's from the vending machine. Apparently I've become addicted. Usually I crave chips or other salty snacks. The last 2 weeks it's been m&m's.

Being healthy is hard. This is my journey.

Staying on Track

I clearly need to post more because I've really gotten off track. Making public my journey to be healthier helps with this, so I'll start posting more for my lone reader :)

Food wise, I'm being pretty good. I'm taking the weekends off for the most part, but I've been good about eating vegan-ish during the week. My weight is stable, but not losing any more. Perhaps this is the time to get back to my working out! I was being so good with pilates and walking, and then I had one day where I didn't do it, and now it's been about 2 weeks since I've done any pilates at all. I have been walking, but that's about it. I need a better audiobook for that. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is just not cutting it.

Back to the grind

It's amazing how easy it is to get out of a routine. Last week was a fail week for me, both with eating and working out. Now it's a new week, a new start, and already I didn't do pilates this morning. I did, however, take Daisy for a walk and I walked at lunch, but I'd still like myself better if I had done my pilates. It's like I can actually see my gut getting bigger by not doing it. Or maybe that's just an innate girl thing. Either way, I'm working on doing better!

The biggest problem is sleep. If I don't sleep well the night before, then I don't get up to work out. Since I don't have to be at work until noon, it is very easy to work out in the morning. It's also easy to use the lack of sleep excuse. I'm not sure why I don't sleep well sometimes, but last night I sure as shit never went to sleep. My brain just doesn't turn off sometimes, and that sucks.

Friday night!

Time to cheat with alcohol. I'm sick of wine so I'm doing beer. And I don't care! If you can't cheat on your diet then there is no point to it. I will renew my efforts next week and it will be all the better because i got to enjoy myself this weekend. And there it is. Also, i had a bad week but didn't gain any weight, so i consider that a huge WIN
