Oh man. So, spoiler alert - I was a latchkey kid. My parents both worked full time and my mom was also pursuing advanced degrees in the evening (literal hero, everyone). So from an early age I was responsible for my own meals and usually for dinner at least once a week when my dad had Lions Club meetings or another…

LOVING the tattoo!

My trainer actually put me on a tracking break for all of January. It was really hard (I had been tracking consistently for over a year) but it put me in the right mindset when I came back this week! Good luck. Try to remember that your decisions matter more than tracking them does. Tracking is just a tool!

I have a VERY condensed Christmas schedule - like most people, I'm sure! I'm flying to my parent's from halfway across the country on the 23rd with my SO. We're staying there the 23-25 (approximately 48 hours - during which time I also have to squeeze in visits with my hometown friends) then we leave on the 25th to head to…

My curret mini-goal is to get into meal prepping! That reminds me... I'm going to need some new Tupperware and post-its!

Get it! This is awesome!

Pulling on a *brand new* pair of pants in the dark this morning while getting dressed! And they fit!

Tracking everything til 2017! “So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.” - The Notebook. (Me to me every morning)

I love all of these! Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha yes! ^

I exercise anywhere between 3-5 days a week. I find that it makes me feel calm and accomplished and that I've been sleeping better. I do cardio every day that I work out, and lift at least 3 days a week. I almost always take an entire weekend day off, and the other day I'll adjust based on how I feel - yoga or more cardio.

This is my favorite! http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/31/15-minute-creamy-avocado-pasta/ I make this when I can. It even freezes well, thanks to the olive oil and citrus. And it goes on pasta just as well as on Mexican! I use it on tamales (yuuuuuuum) and penne and grilled chicken and it would probably taste good on fries! I…

First, if you have an Aldi, definitely check them out. I've consistently gotten about 2 weeks of groceries, including produce and meat, for about 50$. Second, I make my own pasta sauces. Turns out, most of them are super easy to make and really cheap (plus, you control the salt and sugar that you add... most jars are full…

Heck yes!

They also already make a Rumchata in case you can't find Velvet Cinn. I like White Russians with rumchata substituted for the cream... it's a sometimes drink haha.

So many things. Today I had a bagel (close enough) with an over hard egg, avocado, and jalepeno cream cheese. YUM. Also I love: peanut or cashew butter with bananas butter with cinnamon sugar butter with strawberry jam
-
I'm the same way with queso/cheese dip - you know, that stuff with velveeta and rotel? I'm addicted. I don't keep it in the house at all, unless it's a special occasion (my grandmother used to make it for Thanksgiving, so we eat it once a year). I am, thankfully, not that interested in sweets like cookies or cake, but for…

I love So Delicious coconut milk creamers. Silky, flavored or unflavored, and 35 cals per tbsp.

YAAAAAAS! I am so close (4 lbs from ONEderland) and I can't wait! You can do it :)

I'd like to be the first to say HELL YES!

I also have significant internal issues (basically everything below my mouth is broken). I often alternate between both extremes and then add on severe heart burn and stomach bleeding. In my experience, it's just a slow and very personal process. For example, depending on where I am, physically, I can eat lettuce and raw…
-
I also think we could be twins! I don't like yogurt at all, greek or regular. But more importantly, I don't like pumpkin. I keep trying but on my list are: pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spice anything, pumpkin beer, pumpkin coffee. I do eat my dad's pumpkin pie, but I wasn't int the mood this year for it so I…
-
Yes to the Oreo! I'm American and I just can't stand them. It seems like they'd be lovely but they're totally devoid of flavor and the consistency is so weird! Like, why would cream be so solid in the middle? I do like oatmeal, but rarely. I typically make instant oatmeal (I know) and I try to find the high fiber cinnamon…
-
Yes! Salads can be anything! Panzanella is amaze-balls, and it just tomatoes, roasted/grilled bread, garlic, and olive oil/vinegar. Literally anything can be a salad. I like warm quinoa with grilled zucchini, feta, olives, and basil with a little olive oil. I LOVE taco salads with spinach, beans, corn, grilled peppers and…

I prefer three full meals with very little snacking. Breakfast is usually around 500 calories with lots of protein (otherwise I have a blood sugar crash around 10am!), then a 5-600 calorie lunch, and a small dinner. Since I eat more in the beginning of the day, I'm not usually as hungry for dinner and can get away with 400…

Something from everywhere. An around the world of foods. Deep dish pizza with extra cheese; a double cheeseburger with american, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, mayo; sushi - an elaborate roll that i don't let myself eat often; fajitas or a burrito with steak and beef; rice and beans; cantonese spicy chicken…

Not going to lie, I HATE showering in general. I hate the part when the water is warm but the air around your body is cold and you're suddenly covered in goosebumps (I also hate hot tubs for this reason). More importantly, I've recently (in the last 2 years) found out that both my skin and my scalp are extremely sensitive…

I love love love taco salad. I use ground turkey sauteed with an undrained can of tomatoes and taco seasoning (the water from the tomatoes will help the seasoning stick to the turkey), spinach instead of iceberg, as many veggies as possible (corn, beans, peppers, onions, literally anything) and then I use spicy salsa for…

Can I join? I'm only a bridesmaid, but I don't want the be the chunky one! We're doing slinky, spaghetti strap dresses, too! So I'm going to need some arms, shoulders, and back!
