Week 8/9

My week got busy with trainings, and by the time I got a break I was off track and had stopped taking pictures of my food. In fact, I'm off the original diet that I had been on because I can't afford it!

So, I'm still paying attention to what I eat, and am working on making my own food whenever I can. I've actually lost weight once I quit the diet, very suspicious!

So, here are the foods I've had in the past week or so that I remembered to take pictures of!

Lunch, brussels sprouts, cheese and onion. Cooked in bacon grease with a little bit of lime juice.

I added breakfast burritos to my meals, I love them! But, I need to make my own. These aren't healthy.
Mandarines, grapes, peas, string cheese, goldfish, pineapple and strawberries, dehydrated apples, cashews and walnuts.

Cottage Cheese, pineapple and strawberries, mandarines, peas, cashews and walnuts, burrito and frosted mini wheats.

Breakfast burrito, kiwi and raspberries, string cheese, banana chips, cashews, walnuts and chocolate covered raisins, chick peas and green olives, brussels sprouts cheese and onion, a mandarine and coffee.

Breakfast burrito, mandarines, avocado and rice, grapes and peppers, peas, cashews, walnuts, pistachios and chocolate covered raisins, pineapple and strawberries and green tea.

Last night's dinner, bacon, eggs and homemade waffles!

Some changes that I decided to make are to focus on exercise routines that I like. The gym is alright, but I'd rather be hiking, biking or kayaking. (Alas, I don't have a kayak). So I will at least focus on several small, manageable goals:

1. Drink at least 1 Nalgene bottle's worth of water a day.

2. Go out for a walk at least 3 times a week

3. Focus on having homemade from scratch real meals at least 2/3 of the time. This means No more buying breakfast burritos, if I want them I have to make them. 

4. Packing a smaller lunch. To ensure this, I am using a smaller lunch box!

I went on a walk yesterday and wish I had done it more often!
