Springtime!!!

Happy Spring!

And with spring comes new resolutions...Ok I might have the timing a little confused but I think New Year's Resolutions are so cliche I can never stand to make them. I'm feeling somewhat motivated with the new quarter starting this week that I want to turn over a new leaf. I have been horrible this quarter! After my successful summer of working out and not drinking pop or energy drinks I slowly went down hill. Fall quarter I didn't exercise but I ate healthy (Thanks to Nutrition 245 which made me feel like I was going to die if I ate any bad foods) but didn't exercise. However this last quarter I have completely let myself go! No exercise (Aside from yoga once a week for a couple hours..is that even enough to count?) and a ton of pop and sugar and bad food (I went on a mexican food binge the last couple weeks..can I blame that on stress?)!! I weighed myself after a week of looking at the scale fearing that I gained a million pounds and finally stepped on it tonight, and luckily haven't gained a pound. But of course like everyone I'm not that happy with my body so change needs to happen!!

So here are my main goals:
1) Drink water!!!
- I'm so bad at this. I really don't like water but it speeds up metabolism which I neeeed on account of usually not eating until around 12 which may not sound that late but seeing as how I get up at 5 is!!!

2) Eat healthier
- Not like, a health nut but nice meals (No college food i.e. mac & cheese, top ramen, etc..) which brings me to my next goal:

3) Cook more!
- If I was married this would be so much easier. Since I eat basically all my meals with Luke (Ok just dinner but lunch gets kinda sketchy and breakfast is nonexistant so dinner it is) I generally eat at his house. This restricts what we can make for several reasons which I'm not going to start talking about. However since my roommate is gone this quarter (not to be confused with all her stuff which is very much there...everywhere..something I am NOT going to get in a long rant about) so I could cook at my apartment more often...on account of not having someone to avoid. If only cooking didn't cost so much.

-Another reason being married would make cooking easier (I got a wee bit side tracked there for a sec) is I could invest in ingredients!!!! I feel like I can't cook anything new because I have to buy everything down to the last pinch of a spice. Hellloooo!!? Poor college student anyone? Ah dilemmas dilemmas.

4) Exercise
-It's evil. Seriously. Exercise and I have a hate-hate relationship. It might be because I hate gyms. Or maybe because I'm lazy. Who knows. The point is I need to exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Doing this will improve things such as sleep...and other things I'm not going to mention but really need to be helped.

I'm sure there are other goals I've forgotten but that sounds good for now. I told Luke that he had to make me do these things!! He can't give in to my trying to convince him to let me have bad food. Which I do now on a daily basis. Not that he cares. Luck??
