You have a seriously well balanced diet. I'm jealous.
Damn, for real? No one's ever said that to me before, and I never really thought about it. Thanks!
Posting my eats keeps me responsible, I think. I'm pretty susceptible to eating impulsively and emotionally, especially when sh!t gets real - e.g., I'm pretty sure I ate an entire bag of Lindor truffles the day after I moved out of my ex's place. But I was embarrassed about that, and y'all didn't hear about it.
Agreed on the impressive diet, you put mine to shame!

LOL! Well hey, I ate an entire pack of raw cookie dough over like a 3 day period. It all starts with one piece and then you get to the point of ahh I can't bake these, there isn't enough left, F it!

Why be embarassed? lol - Nothing you eat today will affect you in the long run. However, if you eat outside of your macros EVERY day, now that's a problem hahaha.

Aw, I guess it was because I was just a hot mess in general: I associate overeating/binging with being emotional and sloppy and therefore embarrassing. But you're right - it's not a habit, so it's not so bad.
Hmmm, I've never tried a plank w/ one foot elevated, seems challenging. I've tried it on one arm, that was pretty rough. Your workout looks great - I see a lot of people over here doing overhead squats lately, GREAT exercise, working my way up to it.

It's a pasta sauce that I make in the slow cooker. I can type up the recipe, if you'd like!
Sure. I use my slow cooker every week to make 1 dish - beans. I could use another recipe.
I've been doing the one armed overhead squat from NRoL4W and it is totally weird. I feel like my squat is all weird and myarms are crazy and...eh. I haven't tried with 2 arms yet.

It's so much more challenging than it seems. Or I'm really weak. I'm not sure. :| Maybe a little of both. Next in the progression is elevating one arm instead of a leg - now THAT is a challenge!
I really like the overhead squats! It's really helping me improve my form and balance.

I agree with you - the one-armed overhead squat is kinda awkward. Mine always felt strange, too. But I think it's SUPPOSED to throw off your balance?
Just found this whole section of the site, and yours is the first journal I came to. I've been semi-"journaling" in the "blog" area of my bodyspace, but I'm thinking I've got it all wrong. Anywho, I just skimmed through some of your posts and I think your writing is really engaging and interesting. I can also definitely relate to a lot of your early posts about being insecure. And even some of the later comments about emotional eating and whatnot. Thanks for logging your stuff! Good luck! I plan to visit again.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Bene Gesserit, Litany Against Fear (Dune)
Yeah it works! I use dailyburn too, so when I make this, it will be easy to put in.

Aw! Thanks for the kind words, boo! I try to pretend as though I'm a lot more confident than I really am, you know, getting all Kurt Vonnegut on this sh!t. I'm glad I'm not alone in my issues and insecurities.
But I don't think there's a way to do this journaling business wrong. As long as it's a useful tool to keep you accountable and/or record your progress, hey, whatever, girl, live your life!
Little red dress, six-inch black pumps, and big hair - I looked f*cking hot last night. Yeah, I said it - and more importantly, other people said it, too. I can be a bit intimidating in person, but, thanks to the inhibition-fighting power of alcohol, a few guys approached me at our seniors' 100 Days outing and, bless them, flirted with me.
One guy told me that I left an impression on him when we had a class together: "You'd walk in with your leather jacket and sit in the back of the room and ask these essay-quality questions while everyone else was taking an hour-long nap." I didn't even know that he had been in the class. Or his name. SRY 4 WANTING GOOD GRADES THO.
Another guy was like, "You're only talking to me because you've been drinking." It wasn't true, but it was cute. I forget that I'm not the only one with self-esteem issues.
Anyway, I think I'm over my ex. I don't know how long it takes people normally to get over long-term relationships, but it's been less than a month and I can listen to "Can't Go Back Now" by the Weepies without falling completely and utterly apart. I couldn't say that two weeks ago. That's something.
I guess I needed to be reminded that I'm not going to be alone for the rest of my life - not unless I want to be. I can date for sh*ts and giggles, but I'm not going to get serious about anybody else unless they're my equal. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to be with someone who is worthy of my respect and admiration. So no more settling, especially in terms of emotional investments.
I'm glad that I'm able to have some of these token college experiences - things that I wasn't interested in while I was with my partner - before I move on to the next stage of my life. I'll never have another chance to act a foo' and get away with it solely on the basis of my youth. I'm happy to be where I am right now.
RIP OUR RELATIONSHIP. You will be missed, but not too much.
(There's something very charming about talking about these things with nobody/an audience of strangers. I feel like I can be much more honest with much fewer consequences.)
This is yesterday's workout. I ate about 1950 calories before I went out. Whatever other calories I accumulated are a mystery to me.
Workout A of Phase 1 of NROLFA.
Dynamic warm-up: 10 minutes.
Plank: 90 sec, 60 sec
Side plank: 45 sec left, 45 sec right, 45 sec left, 45 sec right
Split squat, front foot elevated: 12x10lb, 12x15lb, 12x15lb
Inverted row: 12 on Smith machine pin #3, 12 on pin #3, 12 on pin #3
Romanian deadlift: 12x55lb, 12x65lb, 12x70lb
Push-up: 12, 12, 12
Foam rolling: 10 minutes.
I've only had it for a few days, but, already, I have a questionable obsession with my foam roller. F*cking miracles, bro!
I picked up its package on my way to a meeting with a professor - who, like me, is both Polish and an *sshole - earlier this week. When I leaned it against the wall of his office, he asked, "What's that?"
It feels so good to be validated for all the hard work we do. Progress pix be damned, it's those times when others comment on our hot bods that feel the best!!

Great game last night. Glad the Packers won; they're definitely the better team.
Lea Michele thought she was on Broadway, Floptina hates America, and the halftime show... let's not talk about that. But I will say this: Fergie Ferg needs to bail on the Black Eyed Failures and reboot her solo career.

I haven't been sleeping well for the past month or two. I really need to prioritize getting back into a solid sleep schedule; my energy and attentiveness have suffered.
Regardless, this afternoon, I busted through my thesis writer's block and banged out a good 1000 words. It's not a lot, but it's something. I'm so eager to be done with this.

First of all, let me just note that you are awesome, This is a really strong post and it's nice to see someone who isn't afraid to admit that they are
a) happy
b) awesome
c) but not 100% perfect all the time
Good for you for going out a flirting with some people, and also for being known as the cool chick in the background with the leather jacket and a brain worth noting. You are a rare breed.
The workouts in here look good, too. Consider this a general online pat on the back.
If you aren't willing to work for it, you probably don't deserve it. Victory is paid for in sweat, courage, and preparation, and if you aren't ready to lead or follow you had better be ready to get the hell out of the way.
