GO BLUE!

Just a math graduate student trying to live a healthier lifestyle. This includes preparing more meals from scratch (SparkRecipes.com is very useful for this purpose) and making sure I am getting enough vitamins and nutrients from food sources, rather than a multivitamin.

I have an appreciation for almost all kinds of food (fast food and healthy food alike) and find that moderation works for me. The only foods I tend to avoid are ones that contain unnatural sources of trans fats ...

I have an appreciation for almost all kinds of food (fast food and healthy food alike) and find that moderation works for me. The only foods I tend to avoid are ones that contain unnatural sources of trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), but I would like to eat more fresh fruits & veggies and less meat.

I try to average around 1800* calories a day. Sometimes it's a lot more, sometimes a lot less, but on a monthly basis it works out to be about 1800/day. :) Weight loss is not one of my goals--in fact, I would like to some day work towards putting on 5-7 lb of mostly muscle mass... but still need to work on consistency in my strength training routine.


*2000-2200 cal/day when I am training for a 5k.

Good for you! Yes tracking is way too time consuming. It is necessary to do so and learn to manage what you do eat and change things but I agree it is definitely not my idea of healthy to track every singe day the rest of your life. So glad you are trying to trust your self. Good luck. Stick to whole foods and get plenty of healthy fats in. Make your snacks nuts. Trail mixes are a great way to increase calories if that is what you need.

I feel like I need a new set of lungs, lol. I have major runners envy! I feel like my feet want to keep going but my lungs/heart are like "nope, you're a sloth, go back to sloth mode, we'll force a heart attack on you" haha.

Hope everything is going well for you over there! Seems like your apartment has been keeping power more lately? That is always good. Hope you are having a great week so far!

Hey there!

Thanks for your comment on my blog! I do have a gluten intolerance...my mom's side of the family is all Celiac, though I've never been tested. However, I suspect that I have, at the very least, an intolerance.

Does your little sister have a problem with specific foods? traveling? is she Celiac?
