Saw another fitblr I follow doing this, so I’m following suit!

1. Each week, sit down and write up an exercise plan for the following week. This way i’ll be changing it up and won’t get bored, but will have something structured to stick to and follow and not fall in an overwhelmed hopeless heap and just avoid it all together! Not that I’ve ever done that… ;)

2. Eat more whole, unprocessed natural foods and concentrate on getting macronutrients in.

3. Stop obsessively calorie counting. I’ll still be using myfitnesspal to make sure I’m eating enough/not too much, but lately it’s been bringing me so much anxiety that it is unhealthy and impacting on my mental well-being.

4. Three meals, two snacks!

5. Keep up with Uni work, don’t fall behind.

6. Read a book. READ SEVERAL!

7. Buy some Vans. (whatever, this is a legit goal kay)

8.  Stop fabricating potential situations in mind and getting anxious about them. 

9. Bite the bullet, go see a psychologist. Might seem dramatic to you, especially to post it on here, in public, but…I need to accept it for myself and every little thing, even blogging about it, helps. My anxiety/mood and such is at such a level that it really affecting me. Not going into detail but my relationship with my boyfriend is at serious breaking point because of it. I need to put myself first, I need to be happy. That might end in gaining a pound or too, but, as I said, I’ve been so obsessive lately its impacting my already anxious mind. I’m borderline underweight BMI and I’m scared of dropping lower, especially as I’m apparently eating at a deficit and just can’t bring myself to eat more. I’ve always advocated healthy lifestyle on here, and I do, I DONT promote unhealthy weight loss IN ANY WAY. But I need to practise what I preach more. I want to love myself and my life.

10. Haircut  Got one today, eeeee :) new side swept bangs!

Some shopping I did today during my post gym endorphin rush haha! Raw cashews & almonds for my home made nut butter, berocca (cheapo brand), chobani, lotsa blueberries, all natural wholegrain muesli cookies, organic dates, mini protein bars, string cheese, sugar free powerade. Those cookies are unbelievably good; completely clean AND from a packet! No added cane sugars!

And yes, I’m a freak who gets too excited over grocery shopping.

I like food okay!

I know we owe our parents and should help out blah blah blah but really, sometimes, respect is a two way street. I don’t live at home, I pay my own way and have done since 17 years of age. I have my OWN life and things to do - but have to put all that on hold when I need to play unpaid babysitter at the drop of a hat. I can’t say no, either, unless I have work… Even through my first university exams. Tonight was the first night I was going to head to the gym in a week - been out of town, working (gym is closed after I finish work on weekends and it’s been pissing down rain none atop) and started uni yesterday as well as reunions with friends. Even though I’m about to drop dead from exhaustion, TMI but I’m PMSING and I’m anaemic, so I become a temporal zombie every month… I was STILL pumped for hitting the gym tonight after a week of nothing but a run and a lot of walks. But nope, yay for babysitting! Argh an literally found out an hour ago too! I hate assumptions about my life and when I’m free!
Rant over!

Yyyaaaaayyyyaaaaahhhhh! Wasn’t it my city till very recently though, bought eight tubs last night. Plain was sold out but I got strawberry, blueberry, pineapple & peach. What do people think of these flavous?
