Hello! Sorry about the lack of post Friday… I committed to it before I remembering that I don’t have internet at my apartment just yet! Oops… getting that hooked up today. J

I didn’t have Nora this weekend and I’m still getting used to this whole being alone thing… It’s much harder than I anticipated. I really don’t like being in my apartment by myself so, rather than doing something productive like going to the gym, I drank. A lot. Aside from walking around the city in 4” heels Saturday night, there wasn’t much exercise happening. I will say that I didn’t eat terribly, mostly because I didn’t really eat that much. This coming weekend I have Nora and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good weather! I’d love to be able to take some walks with her or maybe even go on a little hiking adventure, but of course that’s all sky-dependant.

Food Today

Breakfast:

½ c granola w/ ¼ c light soy milk and blueberries

Snack:

Roasted pine nut hummus w/ baby carrots

Snack:

Probably nothing, I’m still super full from lunch!

Dinner:

Spaghetti

I found a recipe on Pinterest for Smoked Sweet Potato Hummus and… good god. It. Is. Amazing. I’ve already gone through 2 batches!

So delicious and super simple to make! Give her a shot…. I don’t really measure when I make things like hummus… I just do everything to taste. I made the second batch with a little more chipotle than the first and it was perfect J and I also used lemon juice as opposed to lime because I didn’t have any lime for the 2^nd batch. I ate it with multigrain pita chips and also with pretzel crisps, both amazing!

Well, I’m pretty unhappy with what’s happening with my body right now. I’m not gaining weight and I think that’s in large part to the fact that I’m losing muscle and I’m also eating a lot less than I was (not necessarily a good thing) but where my abs were firming, they’ve reverted back to a ‘softer’ state.. my legs aren’t as toned and my arms are less than attractive. I know that I’m the only one that can correct these things and I’m not sure why I’m having such a hard time getting back to working out? It’s not impossible to workout at home, I just don’t do it. And I don’t like working out at night. And I’m just making any excuse possible to replace my exercise with booze. I just need to get control here.

Oy. That’s all I have for today… hopefully tomorrow will be better. On a happier note – I don’t have another full 5day workweek until July! Color me pumped!
