Delicious Diet

Diet is not just about losing weight. It's about what you eat (and how you live). The thing is, when I step on the scale, I'm hoping I weigh MORE. So this will be a part of the blog #deliciousdiet, where I include meals, workouts and more. I'm not trying to make money or anything off of it, honestly I'm trying to make it to 100lb. Currently I'm 5'5 and weigh 84b. (I know, I know.) I also have Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, so it's hard for me to gain weight and my diet is very important, but I don't always treat it as such.

Currently, like as of today, I have been eating 2 times a day. Pitiful and shameful, I know. But when I was going to a 9 to 5, I ate lunch on the regular and my body even got used to breakfast, and I used to hate breakfast! I couldn't tolerate it, if I ate before 11am I would literally vomit. So now with my very poor eating habits, I have to train my body to accept food again. This begins today.

I went to yoga class on Monday, and I did well. It was tough, because I am so out of shape. Like, I was dancing in the club and got tired out of shape, and that's never happened to me before, but it was a great wake up call to do better by my body. You only get one. And as much as me and mine have been through, I should really know better. Right when we got to the core exercises at the end of yoga, I wasn't even going to attempt them, but my body starting moving and I did all of those reps, okay?! I was so proud! And tired, haha. Tuesday I didn't work out at all, and I wanted to beat myself up about it, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. The point is to develop good habits, and that's going to take some adjustments. I'm going to yoga again tonight, and I'm sure I'll report my results.

Today I went grocery shopping with my friend Neyla who is amazing at eating healthy. Let me tell you what shocked me. When they say read the ingredients and if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it, that's true! We picked up things with ingredients that I had no problem reading. I spent roughly $100 and we'll see how long these groceries last me. I'll post what we bought soon, and let you guys know how it's going. I try not to make posts too long, just had to establish some background, so I'll stop here, and be sure to check #deliciousdiet for all things health related!
