And in companion to that last rant, I have been doing extremely well eating healthy. Better than I thought.
Yesterday wasn’t my greatest day, but the days before….I’m doing quite well :)
So I’m proud of that. Making my own blended smoothies is really helping me get my proper nutrition/vitamins/calories. Also it’s helping me cut my cane sugar intake.
Oh and I found the most amazing bottled smoothie drink thing.
This.
It literally looks like pond water.
But it tastes like SINNNNNNNNN
So far I’ve been eating pretty clean :) Had a HUGE breakfast of a bison burger with spinach on a whole wheat bun with half a bison hot dog in a whole wheat bun. And then some baby carrots for good measure.
I’m starting to becoming a supernatural fitblr.
Does that shit even exist?
Shout out to all the followers who stayed with my while I reblogged the shit out of the mishapocalypse.
I love you guys so much.
I woke up at Dan’s place and went to wash my face in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and was shocked.
My body looked BAMF to me today. I could see what I could achieve and what I could look like if I keep going down this road.
I’ve finally made running a habit (going to keep making it stick!) and doing my best to eat clean with proper portions.
I know you don’t see progress in a week or two, but I feel good about how I look today; and that is all that matters.
Goals for today:
-Run 14-15 minutes
-Do some resistance training with my abs
-Eat a solid heavy breakfast
-Drink 3 glasses of water today
-Clean my room
-Hang ready made outfits for when I start work next week.
I think these are pretty easily attainable goals for the day. It’s about taking it a day at a time.
Motivation tip I’ve found that works great:
Put on workout clothes without even thinking about it. Odds are, you will be more motivated to workout since you are already in the gear.
And once you are done, immediately wash/dry them and set them out the next day. Along with your workout socks/shoes.
Had the worst run of my life. By that I mean my run was more walking than actual jogging.
My calves were screaming and my shin splints were acting up. Going to listen to my body and get back into running slowly.
My mind wanted to run for miles, but my body didn’t have the capacity. And you know what? That’s ok. I accomplished something and I feel better and less depressed.
Running and just being outside in general can really lift your spirits :)
Off to Trader Joes and Fred Meyer.
Then I’m going to come home and either do POP pilates or Yoga. Maybe both. Depends on how I feel. But I will do one of those. Put some ocean sounds in the background and get all calm and shit.
Yes.
cloudystream replied to your post: I found an app that helps with unhealthy food…
thanks, Gosh I wish just dont eat it worked!!! xxx good luck huns
Ugh I know right?? And it’s hard to resist unless you’ve been resisting for a long time. I remember when I was deep into clean eating and I was physically repulsed by unhealthy foods.
Thanks! Seriously though, once you make it habit for a month, it’s so fucking easy.
Trying to find recipes so I know what to get at the grocery store.
Fuck it, I’m just going to eat simple. Bake chicken then have steamed veggies with it for dinner. A simple healthy salad with a turkey sandwich for lunch with some fruit and for breakfast an egg white scramble of bell peppers, turkey, and green onions.
Then snacks will be oranges with shredded whole wheat crackers, apples with peanut butter, bananas with almonds, and apple slice sandwiches with peanut butter and raisins.
That is how I used to eat, and I had success. Going to stick to it. Even at Dan’s house lol.
I found an app that helps with unhealthy food cravings. It has a countdown of 20 minutes (how long a food craving lasts) and “panic” buttons and other useful things.
It’s called My Diet Coach-Weight loss for Women. It’s honestly really great. I’ve just been having the worst time. I need to be disciplined. It doesn’t help when Dan just says “well, then don’t eat it”. If it were that simple, I would be 120 lbs by now.
But seriously, it’s a great app. I’m not sure if they have an android version.
