JANUARY INVENTORY

fridge full of (healthy) food (including snacks, yay!)

i'm starting a meal plan of sorts on monday. a blogger i follow became a mom a few months before me and has since lost 70 lbs. she made up a meal plan for super noobs like me to follow and i'm feeling really confident that i'll stick to it and see a noticeable difference in the way i feel and hopefully the way i look. eventually i want to start incorporating regular exercise but for right now i'm taking it a step at a time and not going to overwhelm myself with goals. after i get comfy with the new meal plan and slight diet restrictions (i'm mostly staying away from soda and sugar) i will start to incorporate easy 10-20 minute workouts. probably.

andrew and i are both feeling incredibly motivated right now and i'm taking advantage of that motivation to start some serious life goals. already after a week of no sugars and soda and late-night snacking i'm feeling significantly better and have a lot more energy throughout the day. (now if i could just start going to bed before 2 am...)

i've also been oddly motivated with school and attending class regularly (it's weird) and like, actually attempting to do the readings and homework. it's a very weird thing, trust me. but i like the way i feel. i have had some epiphanies lately about the way i live my life and it has honestly changed me in a way that i didn't think i would ever change. it's been such a significant change that i bought a new notebook just to chronicle the experience. 

so that's been january. i know it's only halfway over but this is where i'm at and where i'm headed.
