Six Days of no-blogging

Happy February everybody! 

As you can see, I have been absent for a few days. It's been crazy. My dad's surgery went great (he come back home tomorrow) I have been spending quality time with my family and just hanging out at the hospital. I really love the fact that that hospital has big gardens and you can go out and breath some fresh air and enjoy of pretty days. Most would say  that hospital food is just not so appealing. Well, in this case that statement doesn't apply. The food is so great! At least the cafeteria food. I've been working out extra time these days!! 

That is my very exciting life! I have no new things to share for the moment, I have some blog post ideas that I will be showing you through this week and the next! 

I know it's a very short post but I just don't like to be that MIA on here, it just feels wrong and I miss it soooooooooo much 

I hope you are having a great month so far <3 

 

Busy as a bee

So, it's Saturday, most of you are probably resting and getting some more sleep than normal. You are seriously making me so jealous. I have 2 tasks for today.

The first one is to go to a recovery class of Business Law. I know fun, but it is just compulsory for me to go  because the professor is going to be saying which are the topics that come in the midterm. Yes.

The second one, is to do a presentation about the different ways to measure the external vulnerability of an economy for my Global Economics class. We have also 4 hours of recovery. We missed them and now we are paying the bills. That class is 4 hours...I don't know what I'm going to do with my existence all that time.

Totally how I feel today! 

I am a busy busy bee today.

Hope you enjoy your day and have fun!

University Busy Day: Lunch/Dinner Plan

Hey Guys! 

Today I have a long day and it is probably the second longest day I have in the week. Yesterday (Wednesday) I had class from 3 pm till 11 pm and had 3 hours of free periods where I had to take something to eat. What I did was take a small portion of what has been left from lunch and ate it at 7 pm when I felt hungry. It was just a small portion just to keep my tummy feeling good and I bought some hot chocolate as my drink. 

And today (Thursday) I have class from 2 pm till 9 pm and have 1 hour free in which i will take also a small portion as my dinner so in that way i have no need to eat when I get home at 10 pm, at that time I will only drink a cup of coffee. 

I had to figure this type of things out because I couldn't last long enough without eating and feeling hungry. It is not healthy for your body to feel hungry because it will just start building up the calories because it enters into starvation mode in which it says that "ok i have to save food and calories because i might not receive any, any time soon". 

So i hope you liked this fast little blog about what I am doing since yesterday when I have this long days of classes in which i have to spend a lot of time away from home and don't want to eat the food at the cafeteria which is just not healthy at all.

Thursday: Meal Diary + update

Hey Guys!

I am finally done with my final exams and i am so happy about it! it has been a long couple of weeks and i now feel the relief and ecstatic about it.

It's been a crazy week and as I told before in this blog, i tend to eat a lot when i am anxious or stressed, so i found great healthy snacks to munch on while studying. Click here if you want to see those snack ideas and maybe try them! they are way better than those fatty and fried chips and endless types of stuff.

My meal diary so far has been like follows:

Monday:

      Breakfast:

• Bowl of cereal with milk and just one teaspoon of sugar 
• An apple 
• Orange juice

     Lunch: 

• Turkey with lemon sauce and steamed veggies

     Dinner: 

• Cup of coffee 
• Water crackers. 

Tuesday: 

     Breakfast:

• Slice of toasted bread.
• cup of coffee 
• an orange

     Lunch: 

• Criollo Beans (nice Peruvian recipe) 
• Rice

     Dinner: 

• Cup of coffee 
• Crackers

Wednesday: 

it actually has been the same for breakfast and dinner as Tuesday and for lunch i had Pasta with some steamed veggies and olive oil.

So that has been so far what i have ingested for meals. I think that balancing out what you eat is better so you don't deprive your appetite so when you are facing temptation you will eat like there's no tomorrow and then feel guilty about it. 

I hope you guys have a great Thursday and remember that eating healthy doesn't mean not eating at all

I am Back!

Hello everybody! 

sorry i've been slacking this blog, but as you may already know, i am study hard to improve my grades, make my diet healthier, keep up with the school work that is getting bigger and bigger and bigger all the time, and my final exams are just around the corner so yes, my time has pretty much been reduced for leisure activities, so i decided that i was going to leave everything for about 5 mins in order to write a blog and keep you updated. 

I have lost body mass, and that is noticeable, but in weight i have just loosed about 1/2 a pound which is good because i am not loosing weight dramatically and my metabolism is not suffering with the changes. I have reduced my intake of fried and greasy food, although i still eat a hamburger if i am totally craving one, but just a small or junior one. 

Now i drink 2 lts. of water a day and i feel my skin softer and more hydrated than before, so the changes are good and it shows on the way i look, i like it, a healthy living and a healthy body. 

In terms of exercise, i have been walking a lot lately, climbing up and down stair cases at university and i have clases on the fourth floor and instead of using the elevator i prefere the stairs it's a pretty good exercise cause you work everything, your thighs, your calves, even your butex :) 

You know that i am a sweet addict, so the desserts for me are a must, but I tend to have left them behind and just eat them 2 times a week, when i am really really really craving one. The rest of the time i am not worried about it, and because of my hectic schedule i sometime have a little time to eat lunch and if i took all the time i wished i would never get on time to where i need to be. 

let me know you have been working on your health and how have you make the transition smoother so that it doesn't strike you down.  

Hoping Around!

Finally i got to eat my apple! hahaha

I hope everyone had a great day!

Today, for me, was a busy day and was running from one place to another and doing things from school and everything. That is the most important thing to me right now and to make my lifestyle change the smoothest as i can and trying to balance everything out is just sometimes too hard and maybe some break downs are on the way. But i know habits are something that people need to reinforce on themselves in order to be successful in what ever they engage  with. I am very methodical in what i do and like am sort of a control freak.

So when i say HOPING AROUND, i literally am hoping around so my diet for today was an apple, a mango, another fruit that i don't know how to write haha and a cream cheese sandwich, not a the perfect meal but a lot healthier than eating potato chips and all that greasy fast food.

I had no time to eat that well so that was my go-to food. i had breakfast really early in the morning because i had classes all morning and all afternoon till 9 at night. I am so sleepy but i need to finish some more homework due for this week.

love,
A
