Only a few more days til my 25th birthday and one day until I got home for a few days.
I feel like the past few months have been crazy for this chick here. I haven’t been the best blogger, but I hope y’all just bear with me. My training schedule for work has been crazy. I’ve mostly been working nights, so I am quite tired. But when I can, I manage a workout or two, even at 1:00am!
You guys are awesome at being patient with me. Totally appreciate it. Like this weird picture I forgot to show you from Saturday. My friends and I went to an art festival in downtown Beverly, MA. 
Free Greek froyo? Yes please! So that’s the weird white thing you see. It was yummy.
I promise myself I need to get better with meal planning. I seriously just have to stop being a, pardon my french, lazy ass mofo. I bought some asparagus from Trader Joe’s. 
I really didn’t care for the flavor, but I am just going to heat it up and “pan fry it” in some olive oil and garlic. That should do the trick. And I’ve been making my own trail mix; bought some chips, crans and the cashs. Mmm, love this combo.
I also gotta stop with the dairy. I just feel icky, but oh my gosh, why is dairy so good? I had this pomegranate Greek yogurt with blackberries and the Q’ia cereal. Damn, it was tasty!
I hope everyone is doing well! I am finishing this post to you at 2:00am… only four more days until my birthday! You know next week’s WIAW is going to be awesome.
Question: I’m sure I’ve asked this before but I also love people’s ideas! How do you get yourself back on track, whether with exercise or meal planning?
Now for breakfasts, I have been doing this awesome WholeFoods find from 
It’s a delicious gluten-free superfood cereal and I’ve mix it into my breakfast 
For snacks, I couldn’t resist picking up on of these bad boys.
And how bout my lunch today? My friend and I went for Brazilian. My, oh, my! But I think I am the only one who eats Vegetarian style at a specialty meat BBQ place.
Other snacks have included bananas, apples, pears, nuts/seeds and dark chocolate chips. Nothing too interesting. But so far my favorite meal was this one of a turkey and herb sandwich on sourdough bread with blackberries and yogurt. Mmm, mmm good!
Question: Do you ever feel being in the blog/ social media world that you have to be perfect? I sometimes feel that but now I am just being me and showing that I am not perfect, I have flaws… MANY, MANY flaws. But it’s what makes me, me.
Lunches and dinners have been the same just like 
Or maybe asparagus with chicken and a couple of bocchinis (little fresh mozzarella balls).
I’ve gone out a few times this past week and I went to Panera with a friend and had a turkey sandwich on honey wheat bread. It was super delicious!
Desserts and snacks? Same, same. Trail mixes or fruit. My cup of tea!
Maybe even 
That has been an amazing trip. My favorite? Has to be the 
Now as you know between my 
It took some time to decide, but I decided I wanted to gain and go to 155lbs maximum. I did just that, but then I got into a little depression in February. I was just not in the mood and most of the time I at ice cream for dinner. It was not a good point in my life and then my weight went up to 164lbs. Almost 10lbs more then what I originally wanted.
It was hard to deal with this new bigger, yet stronger and healthier body. It feels much better then striving to feel happy just to fit into a size 4 pair of jeans. I went to the doctor’s and they said nothing was wrong. I am perfectly healthy.
I’m am writing this for you now because it took me almost two months to accept this new body I am in. But honestly, I have never felt healthier, stronger and even sexier. At the end of the day, you have to do what you feel is right. I am happy that at one point in my life I could say I lost 100lbs, but now I am content knowing that my weight loss/ maintain/ weight gain journey has created a much healthier me.
I decided to go “green” for Earth Day, you like? And I also decided to get my meatless Monday for today and have one of my favorite quick dinners; veggie burger, grapes, almonds and spinach! 
This cat… so you know what he is doing? Literally guarding me as I use the bathroom. No comment at all. Such strange habits he has, I swear. 
I have been a tab busy working on my presentation for the kickboxing class I am going to be presenting at. Just a quick one, but I will be giving them a piece of my coaching plan for free.
Question: How did you celebrate Earth Day?
I went to grab some groceries yesterday with my mom. I also got organic turkey burgers, but stuck it in the freezer before I snapped said photo. Fruit, nuts, granola, milk, cheese, agave, some broccoli and a couple of Odwalla bars for myself. Can’t forget some coffee either.
This one isn’t so bad, but I need to get my hands on Green Mountain Coffee. It’s expensive in New York. Maybe it’s time for another road trip? Oh and this has been my favorite snack.
I just took 1 Tbsp of Almond Butter, 1/2 Tbsp of Vanilla Protein Powder and added milk til it got to a “dip” consistency. Sliced up a pear, oh my!
