Hey, Miz.
It's me, Maria.
The diet has begun. I really don't like the term diet, because every time I say it, people scowl at me and say stuff like, "You don't need to lose weight! You're already skinny!" It's irritating. Mostly because I think we all have ideals of what we would like to see our body as. And they're right. By most people, I am considered thin. But I want to be healthy (I can't emphasize this enough, guys). I want to eat stuff that gives me energy and vitamins and all that jazz. It's true that I've craved nothing but hot fries all weekend, but I think that is just an example of the problem.
I also have a little bit of a belly pudge. It happens. I would like to get a bit more muscle, and at least make that go down. So, no, I'm not overweight, but I think I could improve. Some people want curves, some want thigh gaps, I would would like strength and endurance. Worst case scenario? It doesn't work out, I hate it, and I go from there.
Okay, sorry. /rant over.
Moral of the story: Aim for your goals. You're beautiful.
So, I went grocery shopping last night with my roommate and some buddies of ours. I bought a few things with the a little help from some friends (*breaks out into The Beatle's song*). A sneak peek:
Lean chicken breast
Spinach
Broccoli
Tuna
Wheat Bread
Total cereal
2% Milk
These are a just a few of the things, but everything I bought was less than 50 bucks (that's my personal goal when I go shopping). For breakfast this morning, I had a measured out bowl of Total, a banana and a water bottle. To snack on, I measured out a few nuts to nibble on, and some more water. I think I'll make some rice and chicken tonight, maybe with some spinach.
So far, I think I'm doing pretty good. At least it's not White Castle, right? Also, I want to give...
