Who I Follow

Week Two!

If you broke your unhealthy habit for one week, congratulations! Why not try two weeks? Well, that would be a good plan, except I never decided on which unhealthy habit I should drop. Instead, I crammed slice after slice of apple butter covered toast down my throat. Hey, here’s a thought: maybe, I should drop my unhealthy habit of sabotaging my diets for the week. Ey? 

Ok, ok, being serious… This week, I plan to … I have no freaking idea…

  • Stick to my two-drink limit (which would be great, except I really haven’t been drinking much lately anyways)
  • Stop sabotaging my diets (let’s keep it realistic ppl)
  • Eat out only once (do-able and advisable considering I have no money, but what counts as “eating out”? I just grabbed a jamba juice (using $5 for $10 deal I had already purchased… does that mean I’m done for the week?) 

Weekly challenge: Get organised! This week try to plan tomorrow’s meal the night before. This one is easy! As I mentioned, one of my new year’s resolutions is trying out at least 52 new recipes. This week’s recipe is going to be Brisket Tacos (or some moderation of it). Delicious, right?

Day eight: Name 5 things you like about your body (you can do it) and the one body part you’d like to change the most. Ugh…

  1. My height — I’m not too tall, not too short. At 5’6.5”, I can still where heels or I can go in flats. 
  2. My boobs — They are big (but not too big); they are fabulous. 
  3. My waist — Flub aside, I have quite the hourglass waistline
  4. My lips — Full, plump, perfect
  5. My eyes

Wow, that was harder than I thought it might be. Now, for the easy part… What don’t I like about my body (only one thing). Well, I don’t like my permanent muffin top. No joke! Around my hips, my bone juts in a bit before my thighs. It leaves me with an awkward looking cut around my muffin top area.. it does not go away. :-(
