Doing it Right

Me! Things I like. Health. Yoga. Fitness. Eating well. Art. Music. This is me trying to "do" my life right by eating right, working out right, treating others right, treating myself right, and working HARD to accomplish the things that matter to me, while growing into a better me.
Ask me anything, about anything, at anytime.

Welcome back, carbs

I love my low-carb diet, but in preparation to moving home- and due to my increased training, I am going back to my healthy pseudo-clean-eating higher-carb diet! I am pumped to be normal again, ha. 

Yesterday was fairly successful

I ate a bit too much again, and I failed to go shopping. I love new clothes, but holy hell, I HATE shopping for them. I am thinking that tonight I will make some spaghetti-squash, broccoli and chicken meal and try to avoid the rest of the foods. Not really, but I am out of food… so what hell. Go grocery shopping I guess. Either way, I plan on continuing to fight through the funk- starting with another 3.5 mile run this morning. 

I am taking this buck-up thing to heart!

Going to go for a long run/walk this morning- thinking about running 3.5, and then walking another 1-2 miles. Then take a shower, clean the house a bit, go shopping, and then head to my volleyball games. Dodge the invitations to drink, come home, do some minor strength stuff while continuing to clean stuff up, and THEN relax, play some Diablo and TF2 and feel pleased with myself.

Kittens!

Being depressed

It feels really nice relaxing, and not having anything to do- but I have definitely been losing control over my food intake, drinking too much, and generally letting myself feel upset about the relationship ending/leaving Madison/everything. So I am going to have to start the arduous process of being cool with myself and happy as a single lady. First step- no more drinking. And lets get back to low-carb, happy-time good eating. And I’ve managed to continue working out, so that is good, so keep it up and maybe increase it. I am going to go shopping next week too, so that will be good! I think I am going to start watching my favorite strong-female-lead television shows that will keep me from feeling depressed. I’ll make a list over this time of shows that I will watch that will keep me feeling strong when I am down. Buffy, Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse will certainly be on that list. Firefly too, for that matter. Joss Whedon is so good. I wish more of hollywood cared about making shows with strong, independent, but still human and flawed female leads.

Hope everybody is doing well!

Lets DOOOO THIS!

The post-graduation hype is nearing an end (though I expect there will be some parties this weekend), I plan on avoiding anymore drink- though I am making sangria for tonight’s party. FUCK summer/grad parties make weight loss HARD. I achieved my other academic goal as well for 2012 and received a 3.8 GPA. Well… only if you round up, but fuck it, I am going to. So two of my resolutions for 2012 COMPLETE. 

Things have been much better between the soon-to-be-ex and I. It is still a struggle emotionally. I am trying to think of him more as a friend, but dang it is hard. I really need to buy “career” clothes for my internship, but am putting it off.

I hope you guys are feeling GREAT. I am going to go get running and prepared for my day.

BTW.

Does anybody know where to buy cheap business casual clothing?
