Forgot to mention, I’m in the UK! Coming back to a clean diet after a vacation is always tough, so as it is my last day of freedom, I focused more on quality than quantity. The Strive for Five rule has always been my primary focus anyway, so today the number of fruits/veggies servings outweighed the number of snacks.

Brunch: Wholegrain salmon and greens wrap, mango probiotic pudding Snack 1: Mocha coffee with skim milk, half a croissant Snack 2: Tomatoes and mozzarella Post-workout: Fruit, spinach, and peanut butter smoothie Dinner: Chicken breast, avocado, grilled veg

Isn’t it funny how our memories can become so distorted? I’ve just been looking through my old posts for a template of my old workouts and I feel like an entirely different person sitting at my computer… not in the best way; so here we are again. Somehow my life is more responsibility-oriented and yet less on track. My body is used to more activity, yet heavier and less in shape. I’m in a healthy and loving relationship, yet less in control of my emotions. Have you ever felt that way, like you’re doing what you should be doing but focusing on the wrong parts of life? It’s as if improving certain parts of life makes you more apt to hide the bits that need improving.

Anyway, thanks to Alex (the boyfriend) who suggested we go to a health restaurant for lunch:

My dears! It’s been an eternity. This helped me so much in the past though, and I really hope it can help me now. How has everyone been?! Shoot me a message with your updates if you want, or something you’re proud of, or something that’s freaking you out a little right now, whatever!
