My kid eats better than I do.

I had a toaster strudel (I never buy them, this was the first time in YEARS) for breakfast. My kid had Quinoa with mashed bananas, mashed peaches, and steel cut oats. I also gave her a couple yogurt melts and freeze dried carrots pieces. 

dude

I eat terribly sometimes. I am overall very well educated on food and the impact it has on our bodies, but sometimes, I guess i do choose taste over nutrition and convenience over quality. I try to minimize the about of times per month this happens, but coming back from the beach ( a fantastic place of Nutty Bars for the kids that went, fresh local seafood and produce for us grown ups, and just an IMMENSE array of quick-and terrible-snacks) and going straight to the grocery store was bad news. I bought Spaghetti-o’s for shits sake! You are literally better off eating a heaping table spoon of lard. But they taste good, and my vacation got me stuck in the “if it’s good, eat it” mindset, which I NEED to break quickly! 

So the hotel has a cute kitchen, so I bought all the materials I need to make a whole wheat rotini and chicken breast in pesto with some broccoli. I’m making everything from scratch so I feel good about that meal. 

But there is a tub of cookie dough in the fridge

and I bought a pack of Nutty Butters.

damn

Vegan fettucinie alfredo!

With spinach, meatless chicken strips, and red pepper spears!

I’ve lost 4 inches off my body this week!

:D

I’m not weighing myself, I’m measuring. I don’t want to be a certain weight, I want to look a certain way.

Just did a simple 15 minute workout

100 elbow-to-knee crunches, 40 toe touches, 3 20 second wall sits, 100 high knees, 100 smal arm circles, and 20 circular lunges.

Broke a sweat!

I bought an avacado for the first time

And I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I love avacados in sushi, but i’ve never had it any other time. And i’m hungry again and I want it cause it’s savory…..help?

Snack time-to go!

I cut up a whole orange, a half an apple, and a kiwi for snack. I’m glad I did, I was starving!!!
