daily life // 04.02.13

A year ago I was asked by a great friend to be one of her bridesmaids for her wedding in November. Of course I said yes but in the back of my mind I kept thinking, 'Oh no... bridesmaid dress!' Last week the bridal entourage went wedding dress shopping which later turned into delicious brunch at a dinner & bridesmaid dress shopping at David's Bridal. Food I can always accept but dress shopping for myself?!.. I was not looking forward to that moment. Trying on a few dresses put into perspective on how out of shape I've been for the past years. I knew I was bad but didn't know the reality of it until squeezing myself into double digit sizes.

This is exactly the kick in the butt motivation I needed. I have over 6 months from now to lose all this excess weight. So after class rather than taking my daily nap, I suited up (more like sweated up) & power walked on the tracks behind my house. Of course the day I decide to work out is the day mother nature decide to hit me with cold winds. I lasted 35 minutes before my hands went numb (silly me forgot to wear gloves).

Still it's a start I'm content with it. Tomorrow is a new day & I'll be more prepared. Until then I'm going to enjoy tonight's dinner: lean chicken & black bean on whole wheat tacos w/ lots of veggies!

daily life // 04.01.13

hello real world!

I'm able to escape my little cave known as nursing school & come back to my well missed space here. I don't need to mention how intense school is, I think my lack of presence says it best. But I miss so many things that I used to do, like writing, taking photos & most of all, crafting! I think it's time I bring those things back into my life little by little.

For the month of April, I decided to incorporate my daily life here & post a photo each day. It's a simple task that will get me into the habit of regular blogging plus allow me to be more personal, something I've been meaning to do for a long time.

Above is the first photo of the month: today's morning breakfast. I decided to go for a healthy lifestyle & created this plate filled with protein and vegetables. Can I tell you how much I dislike tomatoes? Used to have so many as a kid that by the time I went to highschool, I couldn't stand it! However this time, I actually enjoyed it. And I craved avocados ever since I had some with sushi this past weekend. Yum! I could go for sushi again...

Until tomorrow, good night!
