Guess who's back? No, not Slim Shady...ME! I know I've been MIA for last couple of weeks but hey, you write finals, move cities, and start a new job and keep blogging about health and fitness!
I'm not going to lie, moving back home with my parents has been great, except for the healthy eating aspect of my lifestyle. The first five days I was home, my mom went out for SIX meals! Four lunches and two suppers. It wouldn't be so bad if my parents lived in a city where healthy restaurant choices were an option but they live in a small town with typical small town restaurants with typical small town menus; deep-fried, smothered in butter, heart-attack inducing menus. Of these six meals, I went out for four. The first meal was the night I got home so I splurged on some pasta, the second was lunch with my mom and aunt so I ate before I met them and just had tea while they had soup and sandwiches. The third was lunch again with both my parents and my grandma and I brought my own protein shake to the restaurant (I didn't get in trouble for it and neither will you!). The fourth meal was lunch with my aunt and uncle and I ordered a delicious Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Salad. I ate half of the salad and saved the rest for lunch the next day. You see, it's not THAT hard to make healthy choices. Even if that means going out for lunches and suppers or living with someone that doesn't want to make the same healthy choices you are. I could have refused to go out with my mom and stayed at home to make my own lunch but instead, I planned ahead and still got to enjoy a social outing with her without offending her or making her feel bad for eating out.
Apart from trying to maintain my healthy eating habits I have managed to keep up my workouts too (most of the time). I still kickbox but I've also started using my dad's at-home weight bench to work on chest and back. I've also started running. The weather has been pretty crappy here but I've managed to get two 4km runs in outside and I try to run for at least 15-20 minutes before I do a workout at home. My Skreened workout tanks finally came in and I could not be happier! What is better motivation than new workout clothes?
