Boy have I been slipping this last week…
I’ve been having these scary thoughts of reverting back into that very unhappy me.
Luckily, Monday brings a brand new week. Tomorrow I will eat within my allotted points and start back up with yoga tomorrow.
“Start every day with a new hope, leave bad memories behind and have faith for a better tomorrow.”

There is something so rad about being able to cultivate, grow, and care for your own plants. I dont know if that nurturing part of me kicked in but this container garden hobby is addicting!
My little buckets of mixed greens and spinach have exploded!!
My newest addition to the secret garden family are strawberries! They are of the ‘ever-bearing variety’ so I’m hoping I get to “harvest” these little suckers all season until Winter!
I’ve just learned that growing strawberries out of a container is SO EASY! All you need is well-draining potting soil. A container with draining holes and several healthy baby strawberry plants. Keep them watered often, especially if you live in a hot climate, since the strawberries develop and swell because of water!

Photo reblogged from Size 10 jeans, please
The first photo was taken January 10th, 2011. The last 3 were taken today, May 1st, 2012. I have been lifting seriously for about 5 months now. I was once the girl with no booty and now I’m finally getting one :)
Girls, LIFTING WEIGHTS DOES NOT MAKE YOU BULKY. It makes you have sexy curves. So stop being afraid and get in the damn squat rack.
HOT.

I’ve recently discovered that every time I put a new show on, *ding* I go into the kitchen for a snack. (Pavlov’s dog status)
Generally, this wouldn’t be a terrible habit. But for someone like me who is hooked on 10+ shows every season, its an issue. It’s ADDICTIVE snacking.
Now that I’ve recognized my excessive snacking pattern, it is up to me to reframe the behavior. For instance, identify the urge to snack, then simply use the voice in my head and say, (*ding*) “you don’t need a snack because a new show is on.”
Another way to modify the habit? Instead of getting up to snack, *ding* I get up to do 10 squats.
After about 4 solid months of correcting this behavior, my excess snacking should become non-existent.
*ding*
