Yay - first blog post!

It was definitely one of those mornings where I did not want to get out of bed. I think I was actually talking smack (out loud) to my alarm clock. Last night I had contemplated the idea of working out this morning before work, but that just wasn't in the cards. I did, however, get up early enough to make some oatmeal with berries and bananas on top. Any morning that includes a "real breakfast" is a successful morning in my book.

(Above: old-fashioned oats, water, organic brown rice protein, stevia, cinnamon, agave nectar, brown sugar, frozen berries, & banana.) 

Someone brought in donuts to the office mid-morning. To be polite, I had one. Yep, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. 

(Deliciously glazed donut not pictured out of guilt) 

I've been putting together a We-Fest 2013 playlist all day. I'm thinking that's what motivated me to finally get the ball rolling on this blog thing. Funny how I need to find things to look forward to keep me going and get me pumped up about eating healthy and working out. Because I want need to look like this by May 2013. I have time, right?

(No, unfortunately that's not me. Above: Hayden Panettiere in Nashville. My new itty bitty object person of thinspiration)

For lunch today, I had a healthy choice meal. Not exactly my first choice for a nutritious lunch. Ideally, I like to have leftover chicken/tilapia/tuna, quinoa, and some sort of veggie. BUT I'm super poor right now and it was on sale for $2.00 at the grocery store last night. And you know what? It was pretty darn tasty. That little bugger filled me up like a champ for only being 200 calories. And it didn't make me feel all tired and worthless. We might have a new frozen staple on our hands. 

(Um, pretty self-explanatory with all the info here on the box. See also my chubby little sausage thumb ha ha ha)

I will blog again later this afternoon which will feature a picture of my highly anticipated afternoon snack! Pretty exciting folks. Because, yes, I am one of those weirdos that likes to take pictures of their food and share them with the world. After all, this is really just an online food/exercise/whatever diary that I can use to hold myself accountable and look back on. 

XOXO
