Goal: To Be Healthy

It is time to get healthy and make lifestyle changes. 2016 is my year to be selfish and focus on me.

“Turn off your fat genes” LOL

These people are so sILLY

I don’t have a problem with the first one if it was in addition to a healthy diet

I just kind of unilaterally oppose the concept of cleansing because….that’s what your liver is for

^^^ I wish more people understood what your organs do.  Like I feel like people who buy into these cleanses don’t even know what any of their organs do besides the basic ones like heart, lungs, etc.  For example, having any kind of food conversation with my mother feels like beating my head against a brick wall.  And she works for a hospital v.v

It’s just a starvation diet shrouded in pseudo-science and it really upsets me how little people understand about basic nutrition 😩

Loling “turn off your fat genes”

I went for a hike yesterday with a friend. It was the first time I have ever really been hiking. I walk paths with my family sometimes but this was nice. It was about 45 minutes out of the city and thankfully the snow was pretty pressed down. I didn’t have proper shoes so I wore my giant winter boots. My feet were a bit sore by he end but it wasn’t terrible. I think I am hooked on hiking though. I am looking for another spot to go this weekend :)

Jan 01, 2016 Measurements

I don’t really know how to measure myself. I just did different areas and I will continue to do them at the start of each month. I have also decided not to do weight because I would focus on being able to go for long hikes and bike rides then aim for a number on a scale. Chest - 36′‘ Right Bicep - 12.5′‘ Left Bicep - 12.5′‘ Waist - 30′‘ Around stomach - 36′‘ Hips - 40.5′‘ Right thigh - 25.5′‘/21′‘ Left thigh - 25.5′‘/21′‘ Butt - 39.5′‘

2016 Goals

I have decided to change up my goals this time around. Usually I do the whole “I will lose weight” thing and it never works out so I am going to do health goals this year instead. To be honest, 2015 was a shit year. I am not going to get into it because even I can’t believe it all happened, but I am in a place now where I am able to focus on me and and focus on my lifestyle and make the changes I need to make. These goals will most likely change throughout the year as I need them too. I am not afraid to admit when I have bitten off more then I can chew and I am not afraid to push myself if I am finding one too easy. So without further ado, I present to you my goals for 2016 1. Wash my face every night before bed This is something I know I need to do but I often don’t. And I know I need to because when I don’t I break out and it is not pleasant. So this is my first goal. 2. Eat fruit every day I am good at eating veggies every day, I am not so good at eating fruit every day. Even just making a pre-workout smoothie will be okay. I just need more fruit. 3. Be active for 30 minutes a day minimum This can be anything. Going for a walk, going for a bike ride, working out at the gym, working out at home, going swimming, just something to get me off my butt for 30 minutes a day. This is a goal that will change as the year goes on. 4. 2 cheat snacks/meals a week I will not do cheat days, instead I will do a cheat snack or meal twice a week. This can be me having ice cream after dinner or having pasta covered in alfredo sauce and cheese. This was I still get what I crave but I am forced to think about which days I want to cheat. This will probably not change as the year goes on, I like junk food too much. 5. Stretch for 10 minutes when I wake up I have issues waking up in the mornings and I often feel sluggish. I am also always feeling tight as I often spend my days sitting or hunched over crafting supplies making things. I can spare 10 minutes a day to stretch and get the blood flowing. This is all for now. I will probably add ones as I go and change some up, but this is okay. It is more important to be healthy then to stick to strict rules. My saying for 2016 Would I let a child do this to themselves? If no, then why am I doing this to myself? This will mostly be in reference to eating way too much junk food and being lazy. Would I let a child eating ice cream every day? No. Why? Because it is bad for them. So then why am I letting myself do it? And this concludes my 2016 goals! I will aim to revisit these once a month to see how I am doing with them. Happy New Year!

Zucchini fettuccine with rosemary butternut creme sauce…RECIPE

[piecesinprogress]

You asked for school-friendly meals & study snacks so here it is! 6 healthy, delicious, pack-able meals and 15 easy, healthy study snacks!

A big part of what helped me stay healthy while at Bucknell, especially this last year while spending long hours in the library working on my Honors Thesis, was having plenty of study snacks available. Quick snack breaks helped me stay focused (and sane haha!) but I realized quickly that I didn’t want to rely on the bagel/coffee counter in the library. Instead I started packing meals like these and at least 2 snacks- even if I didn’t eat all the snacks I packed it was always good the next day and having variety helped me stick to a healthy meal plan without feeling limited. Remember, a healthy lifestyle should be about finding things that you honestly love (be it food or fitness) that your body will love too!
