I got another letter from my grandma today! Well, actually it got here on Friday but Jaspaul forgot to give it to me, haha. I love getting letters!
I'm still continuing on trying to eat healthier. I'm probably doing 60/40 right now. 60% eating well, and 40% not. That's not a great ratio right now, but you have to start somewhere. My shopping trips are getting better and better. Today I basically got tortillas, a ton of veggies, and some shake and bake for chicken. The hardest thing right now for me is protein. I think it's probably my least favourite thing, and I just don't really know what to do with it. So I'm struggling with that aspect. And also I'm struggling with taking lunches to work some weeks. I got lots of good stuff at the store today, but I can't think of what to bring to work tomorrow. I also went out for dinner with a friend and we spent longer than expected, so I just got home and it's 9pm so there's not a lot of time to figure out what to make. So tomorrow I'll make burritos or something and have leftovers for the next day. I'm finding it's so much about preparation! So I definitely want to increase my ratio of healthy eating. My focus is just to eat more fruits and veggies, and less fast food. That's a good start. And I know I'm making little differences, because I wore my fall jacket today and although it's snug, it fit better than last time. I could barely zip it up when I first moved here, and although it's snug mostly around my hips, it's not as hard to do up. So I'm going to continue with my veggies and fruit, keep eating breakfast, and keep looking for new, balanced recipes.
Also these are my new running shoes, that my mom bought me when she was here. My grandma asked if I had any, and they're really cute, so I thought I'd post a picture!
I haven't used them many times yet, but when the ice melts I think I'll start walking outside. The days have been getting much nicer, and it has actually been above zero!! Haha, it's so different than back home. So winter has definitely been very mild, and I hope it continues. I know winter usually lasts until March or April here, so I'm not trying to get my hopes up.. but it's hard not to! Weather is changing every year, so let's hope that this is the year that winter is short! :)
