I've binged the last 3 days, haven't worked out in those 3 days either because I've been so depressed and let myself fall back to old habits. I find myself being devastated that my health journey is over and I've ruined 3 months of hard work.

Then I remember it's not fucking over till I say it's over. Onward and upward, I'm not letting 3 bad eating days ruin 3 months of progress just because my brain likes to self sabotage.

I. Will. Keep. Fucking. Going.

Because I'm that bitch.

Went grocery shopping! I love looking at healthy grocery hauls so thought I'd do one. Lots of fish and veggies! Some chicken.

Also- tips for those bad binge craving nights? I try to keep my fridge stocked up with other HEALTHY guilty pleasures so I can "binge" on those instead. For example, I figure "binging" on a bunch of watermelon is better than binging on a ton of taco bell and alcohol like I used to.

But I'm always open to suggestions!

So yall a little update. I've been on this journey about 10 weeks now. I've been working out 6 days a week, eating 5-6 small healthy meals a day and only allowing one cheat day a week. I also have been giving myself 8 Hours of sleep (with my depression I was sleeping like 12 hours a day or like not at all)

I feel good! I try not to step on the scale often because I am never satisfied with the number and it makes me go down a rabbit hole of stress BUT progress. NOT perfection

SW: 232

CW:207

GW- Anything under 190 (again progress not perfection)

“if you cling to the idea that pleasure is to be found only in those foods you are not apparently supposed to eat, you thereby limit the amount of pleasure you actually could be allowing yourself. Yes, a bar of chocolate is a true joy. But so is a plate of garlicky spinach or a lemony salad. I once posted a picture of my lunch on Instagram, comprising a bowl of sesame-sprinkled broccoli and shrimp, and was told in the comments that I was just being ‘good’ and obviously would prefer to be having cake. I really wasn’t, and I really wouldn’t have. I ate what I wanted, what my body felt like, and I exult in that at all times. That can make me tiresome in restaurants as I focus on the menu, using what I call my Stanislavski ordering method, which entails going through each dish, in turn, in my head as I imagine myself eating it, calibrating the amount of happiness each one might bring, until I settle on the one that most instinctively matches my needs and desires. It can be a slow process, but for me a necessary one. And even though it is in my mind that I conjure up these projections of what I might be eating, it is with my body that I respond; I trust its intuition.”

warm grain bowl

as primates living north or south of the equator, craving warmer foods is the body’s way of trying to protect us from a climate it’s not naturally equipped to deal with. this is a simple, warming raw vegan dish for the colder months🤍

preheat your oven to 170°F then combine:

100g wild or chinese black rice, soaked for 24 hours at room temp until bloomed

5 large green leaves of choice (I used dino kale and collards), chopped

1 cup broccoli, chopped

“bake” with door slightly ajar for 10-20 minutes.

to make sure it doesn’t overheat: dip a clean finger into the dish every now and then. as long as your finger is comfortable, the enzymes are intact. you’ll eventually get a feel for the timing and won’t have to check as much:)

toppings I added:

1 mashed avocado + .25 tsp garlic + salt to taste

medium tomato, chopped

other yummy toppings: marinated mushrooms, sprouts, chopped green beans, shredded carrots, kimchi
