BACK IN THE SPIRIT
I fell off the wagon about September and spiraled on/off up until recently…
I finally got control over my binge eating and have reverted back to a high-protein diet and am attending the gym at my university campus. :)
I’m back up to 175…. but I hope to be 145 by December (when my friend flies me out to Hawaii).
Welp then… let’s start off with my MEAL PLAN for the day!
Breakfast 1:
2 slices peanut butter toast
1 glass orange juice
Breakfast 2:
2 eggs
Bell peppers
Mushrooms
Hoison sauce
1 cup of tea
Lunch:
Fage 0% plain yogurt cup w/ agave nectar and cinnamon
Baby spring mix salad w/ cashews, gargonzola crumbles, croutons, and balsamic basil dressing
Dinner:
Tomato soup
Turkey & stuffing
Snack:
Wheat thins w/ babybel cheese
Nature’s path pumpkin seed granola bar
That’s just about it, totals around 1700 kcals. :)
My workouts are mostly walking to the gym, spending 15 minutes on the elliptical, then 15 more minutes on those bicycle chair things…. and then end with my walk back from the gym. I usually burn between 400-600 calories doing this depending on how hard I go.

I’ve been eating dirty for a few days now… but I’m going to try to get on track tomorrow. I’m not terribly worried about meeting weight loss deadlines now.. because I lose the 20lbs I wanted to lose before vacation. The other 15-20lbs will come off on its own as I transition into university life again. Zumba, hooping, weight training - aw ya baby.
My dream is to get a full burlesque get-up and do a photoshoot. And dress up occasionally just to feel sexy, maybe even break it out as an annual Halloween costume. And dress up for future boys in my life. ;) I will practice sexy moves and glamour makeup. Mmmm. I already feel very sexy in my body, just dissatisfied with my definition and waist size.
I’ll make a meal plan for tomorrow…

You might notice my diet isn’t as crazy-healthy as other people in the fitblr community…. I have this problem with eating fruits - the second they enter my mouth my body rejects it and doesn’t want to swallow them. I am okay with juices though, so I try and incorporate them when my tummy feels like it. Cranberry/pomegranate are some favorites. My diet isn’t exactly veggie-heavy either (can’t stand carrots/celery snacks). But I do try to include veggies in meals that seem to do well with it - especially bell peppers and spinach, or onions and potatoes. Mushrooms and avocados also debut my diet when my money allows it.
I’m not worried about how my diet fits the “standard,” but more about how it fits me. I’ve had bloodwork done recently to assess basic health factors - cholesterol levels, kidney and liver functioning, iron count, etc. The results were wonderful. So I guess what I’m trying to say is, you can make health work for you in the way you want it to - and it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the way that has been drilled into our heads for it to be. My body feels clean and healthy the way it is right now - in the past it wasn’t like that. I’m very satisfied with the healthy changes I’ve accomplished in my own way.
