I’m going to a cookie exchange party today and I know it’s going to be tough but I’m going to let myself enjoy a few things. That is why I am getting my butt to the gym so early in the morning on a Saturday. :)

Avocado!

Used an avocado in my smoothie for the first time today. I was hesitant but wow that is delicious. Mixed up with a banana and some strawberries and a splash of milk, I will definitely be buying more of these in the future.

It’s super awful outside with the snow and sleet and rain and I’m warm and cozy but I should get my ass to the gym. Get some cardio in. I’ve eaten so well all week and stuck with my calorie goals but I haven’t been to the gym since getting back to school…

Time to brave the great Canadian north and trek to campus…

Blender-Free Strawberry Banana Sorbet

1 medium Banana

4 medium Strawberries

While still in peel, lightly roll banana on counter top to soften it up. Cut one end of banana off and carefully squeeze contents into a plastic sandwich bag. Cut up 4 strawberries, removing leaves, and place in bag. Close bag and squish contents until contents are mixed to your liking. Cut corner off of bag and squeeze into a freezer-safe container (I like to use a rinsed out small Chobani yogurt cup). Cover with saran wrap and a rubber band. Put in freezer and wait for contents to firm. Enjoy.

Must try this.

So proud of myself for NOT giving into the temptation of fries...

So proud of myself for NOT giving into the temptation of fries and bread at dinner tonight. Swiss Chalet has a healthy option menu with skinless chicken breast.

AND my housemates and I made the healthiest choices today when we went grocery shopping. Our fridge is packed with veggies and fruits. We’re going to try our hand at some vegetarian meals. I love how we’re being supportive of each other’s health goals - weight loss, sticking to a vegetarian diet, minimizing carbs. Regardless of what we’re all trying to do we’re making it work! Go us. Healthy college students. The best.

I’m so positive today!

Lies fitblr has told me and how to combat them:

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:39:25 -0500

Don't keep junk food in the house and you won't be tempted to eat it: Don't keep junk food in the house and you'll end up taking out the entire jar of nut butter with a spatula since it's the only thing around.
Binging is because of lack of self-control: Binging is because of unresolved emotional tensions or not allowing yourself to eat what you really want, when you really want it.
Have a cheat meal once in a while to cut down cravings: Don't put any foods off limits and they'll stop being so special.
Don't add sugar to anything because processed sugar is BAD: If adding a spoonful of sugar to your cocoa powdered oatmeal will satisfy your chocolate craving, don't pretend that unsweetened chocolate will satisfy you.
White flour is BAD, whole grains are GOOD: Food is not inherently good or bad. Food is neutral.
When you feel a craving coming on, it's because you're lacking x nutrient, so eat this food: When you feel a craving for chocolate coming on, eat half a chocolate bar instead of greek yogurt, a big bowl of fruit, three pieces of ezekiel bread, a cup of nuts, and three chocolate bars anyway.
Scrolling through pages of fitness models will motivate you to get in shape: Scrolling through pages of fitness models will cause feelings of inadequacy and self-disrespect.
Lack of discipline and self-control are responsible for fitness failures: Depriving yourself of what you really want and getting burned out on exercise are responsible for fitness failures.
You can look like this fit person if you stay on track: You will look like what healthy you is supposed to look like when you do exercise that makes you happy and eat foods that make your body AND mind feel good!

My plan until the end of April.

Where do you land on the Steps to Exercise Enlightenment?

I just made this chart after having an inspirational talk with a fellow fitness friend. You can read more into what each level means on my blog [click here] and see what it says about you.

Please share, pin, reblog and ask your fit fam where they land! You gotta be honest with yourself though to reach enlightenment!

I work out because I want to be stronger…
