I wanted to talk a bit about two things: what I've been eating, and what I HAVEN'T been eating.  I'm due a grocery store run to stock up today (I hope), and I want to branch out and try a few new things.  I also don't want to get burned out by eating the same things over and over again (although there is a lunch meal I've sorta fallen for recently

Great job!

Hey girl. Just wanted to drop by and read your blog. This is a great post! I think you're making some really great choices, even though they can be difficult at times. The whole pizza thing is one I can totally relate to! But my husband has figured out how to make a very good gluten-free, minimal ingredient dough, so I'll have to share that on the blog sometime. And I think the no meat once a week thing is a wonderful idea. Meatless Mondays! ;o) So happy you're on a healthy journey. It's the best thing we can do for ourselves!!

Oh, last thing. The weight lifting thing - so great that you love it! I wish I liked it more. I've been doing this circuit exercise that is kind of hard but so good. I need more upper body work, so I'm happy to do it. YAY!

Hiiiii. I've started following some healthy eating accounts on Instagram and Tumblr, and one of them posted an interesting looking pizza recipe that I've been wanting to try. (It's hard in this town to really BE healthy since it's all fried and fast food junk BUT we do have a health store I've been meaning to go by!) I really want to prepare for a meatless day and sorta lay out snacks and such and plan a meatless dinner in advance - I think it's good for our bodies. And yeah, I just... I want to be BETTER AS myself and TO myself.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm no powerhouse at weights yet but I was benching about 80 pounds and getting stronger on other things too, so I want to get back to that. :D I know a lot of people probably don't like weights, but I think they're just as essential to getting healthier as better eating and cardio. You can do it! Maybe make a work-out mix or something to help get you into it!
