Post Halloween

The scariest monsters are the ones that live inside of us.

Tinder part 1

I really did just ask the (first) guy who messaged me about what kind of books he likes to read to see if we're compatible. Oh god why.

What joining tinder has taught me

I’ve been living my life wrong because I don’t have a picture of myself holding a fish.

After quitting one of my jobs and only being employed part time, I've had a lot of time on my hands. Probably too much. Before when I was working non stop, all I thought about was how I missed having free time. Now I would like nothing more than to be busy. Or at least busier. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I have come to the realization that I feel very lost and directionless. I feel like time is slipping past me and I haven't been using it wisely. I'm afraid I'll look back at my life someday and ask myself why I didn't do anything worthwhile.

It's been a long week. I'm sort of proud of myself for keeping busy and getting things done. I feel like I'm getting a bit braver and leaving some of those fears I used to have behind. It's been an extremely slow process (snail speed slow), but I think it's happening.

25

- I turned 25 this past weekend (woweee?!?!) - I recently heard on a podcast that 25 is a big milestone and that people usually have a list of things they want to accomplish before they turn 25. I was not aware of this. I might make one for 30 though. So far I have: travel to Asia, and run a half marathon. - I actually feel like I'm getting older mentally. These days I will buy things that cost slightly more if it means better quality. - I am nottttttt ready for my 10k. Ugh :( - I'm becoming more obsessed with my diet/healthy eating since I started reading the China study (again). But then my eating has been horrible this week. It's so hard for me to keep it consistent. Healthy eating and dieting is so confusing, even though I have a degree in nutritional sciences. - I need a journal to keep track of all my food related thoughts.

Today’s lunch/post workout meal.

[ceenars]

I'm slowly starting to really train for my 10k. For a being apart of a species that's "born to run," in incredibly bad at it. I know it take work but in incredibly impatient and I expect to see results. And I haven't even really started training outside yet because it is so damn cold! Although I'm sort of dreading going outside because I know it's harder than the treadmill. Gahhhh.

2015

I've always had a love-hate relationship with January. On the one hand, it's great because it's a brand new year so you sort of get a fresh new start, but on the other hand, I feel like that sort of sets you up for failure. Well it does for me anyway. I usually get so overwhelmed by all the new challenges I give myself I end up reverting back to my old ways.. but in a more destructive way. Also, January is cold and boring as balls. How is it supposed to compete with the flashiness of the holiday season? Anyway, this year I didn't really give myself any resolutions. Which isn't to say that I don't have any goals, I'm just giving myself a bit more breathing room, if that makes sense. So far, January is going pretty well for me. Here's a mid (not really) month recap:

1. I made salmon cakes!!! I've been wanting to do this for a while. They turned out pretty darn good if I say so myself. 

2. After finishing Born to Run, which was freaking amazing, I've decided to seriously commit myself to a race so I signed up for the Sporting Life 10k in May. EEP!

3. I decided to switch it up this year so instead of getting my regular Moleskine planner, I got this beautiful Kate Spade one. LOOK HOW PRETTY!

4. I am currently obsessed with baked oatmeal. I need to make this right now. 

5. One goal I do have is to read more. Since of my insane commute to work this should be possible. I'm currently working on The China Study.

That's all for now!

14 years old: I'm young but I know what I want. This isn't that hard, I'm all grown up already and have everything figured out.

17 years old: Well, this is a little harder than I thought. School is almost ending. What am I going to do with my life?

21 years old: What the fuck is going on? Where are my socks?

North of Brooklyn Pizzeria - Queen St. W

I love me some good ol' thin crust pizza, and this is as thin as it gets.

Glory Hole Doughnuts - Queen St. W

Insanely far but definitely worth the trip. Hands down the best doughnut I've had to date. I'll be back for you.
