Wow, I've been doing this a while! What have I improved upon since blog post #1? Well, I'm not only staying within a certain amount of calories, but I'm watching what exactly I put in my body as well. Almost everything has a purpose. I drink more water. I eat more fruits and veggies. More dairy. Lots more fibre. I enjoy food a lot more now too.
Now that I'm taking better care of my body, I've realized other areas that need improvement too. I don't have the greatest skin care routine. In the same way some naturally thin people eat too much junk because it doesn't affect them on the outside, I do not always take the best care of my skin because I've been blessed with skin that is clear. I know that in time this too will take its' toll. So I've gone to Shopper's and I've gotten myself a good day time cream, a good foundation with SPF, and some facial cloths for cleaning off my makeup at night. Most of the time I'm too lazy for this... so it is something I shall work on!
I did groceries at No Frills yesterday, picking up lots of good food:
-Bananas
-Apples
-Grapes
-Baby carrots
-Hamburger buns
-Country Harvest Oat and Honey bread

After grocery shopping on Friday, Brian and I put in a frozen pizza. We spent the evening watching I Love You Beth Cooper and The Hangover....ok so I napped during some of it! And then we both did some reading. I was exhausted! I slept from 11pm-9:30am...it was glorious!
Meals for Friday:
Breakfast- Vitamuffin top, 2 jamieson calcium chews, Apple (220)
Snack- Unsweetened apple and pomegranite applesauce, 1 cup of pineapple, 1 cup of green grapes (230)
Lunch - Diet coke, 2 slices of weight watcher's bread, 2 oz. leftover turkey, 1 tbsp. light mayo., Jello sugar free pudding (310)

Dinner - 1/4 of a pepperoni pizza (300)
Snack -1 small pk. of kit kat bites, 100 calorie bag of crunchy cheezies (290)

I could've used some veggies in my meals yesterday but I was in one of those tired, lazy moods. It happens on occasion :-) I will definitely be making up for that today!
