Month: June 2015

Happy Monday!!!!! I hope you all had a great weekend, now it is back to the weekday grind.

Something I really struggle with is eating only when I am hungry. Most often for me it’s dinner; dinnertime will roll around and for some reason or other i am not hungry, whether it’s because i ate a late lunch, I have already consumed enough calories, I ate something bad that has caused me to bloat…..whatever the reason if dinner rolls around and i am not hungry i tend to still make myself eat something. I know, that sounds so counterproductive to weight loss, but i get inside my head and tell myself it’s unhealthy not to eat, instead i need to remind myself, “if you are not hungry there is probably a reason why”.

Also like most people i am guilty of bored, mindless eating. When i am doing something like watching TV that doesn’t engage my brain or something to that extant, i tend to snack more. I know i am not hungry but i am bored so i decided i am hungry for a snack.

This motivational photo seemed perfect to convey this since it is our mental strength is what will help with this.

How do you keep yourself from needlessly snacking?

Hi!!!

Between my mom packing up her house when I was there and now getting back into a work schedule and sleeping on the couch until my room is ready hahaha buying fresh groceries and cooking healthy meals has been difficult; because of this i am totally into pre made salads right now.

I call it the best of the worst options. It’s not fast food which is good but it is still produced food. It would of course be healthier, not to mention cheaper, to make my own salads but for the moment that is a bit difficult as i am not quite comfortable in my new place yet.

These salads are yummy, filling and they have a wide variety. They aren’t crazy high in calories which is good. These are a big part of my diet right now…..but i can’t lie, i will be really happy when i can get back to cooking and planning my own meals.

What do you grab to eat in a pinch?

I made it to Portland! I met my new roommates and they are super nice! I started my job back up and am already hanging with friends and getting back into life.
Not to say everything is perfect becasue i am living out of a suitcase and a few boxes and will be sleeping all around the house until my room is ready hahaha!!!

That being said some things i am LOVING right now are:

Travel size stuff. It is way easier for me to cart this around then a bunch of full size stuff.

Mary Kay concealer. I’ve never been a big concealer person but the is super lightweight and evens out my skin.

Foundation powder from proactive, cause yes i have a little acne.

I found my Bobby pins which i am stoked about!

And this purely you bronzer. I got it in a monthly eco emi box when i was getting them and am loving it!!! I have been using it as eye shadow and bronzer to give myself a nice summer glow.

What are some things you love right now?
