I was not hungry at all today. Had to eat some calorie dense noodles and chocolate for some energy to study physics and genetics. Not the most nutritious but I didn’t have any energy to cook. I’m also losing my voice so I’m fairly certain I’m getting sick. This totally blows, I always get sick during exams. I’m going to start taking 2 vitamin C packets per day, taking a zinc tablet every morning, increasing my water to 10 cups and drink at least 1 cup of green tea per day. And I should make my food choices a bit more nutrient dense.
I took these pictures right after I planted my seeds/bulbs. In the multi tiered wooden planters (which I built with my dad) I have strawberries, garlic and leafy spinach. I am also going to buy an organic tomato plant at the market to plant there as well. I also have blueberry bushes (you need two in order for them to flower, they cannot reproduce on their own), green beans, purple and orange carrots and a raspberry bush. I am also going to plant more green beans in the black planters and two kinds of squash along the wire fence. When planting squash, leave LOTS of room for them to grow, they can take over your yard.
Groceries! I think between both pictures you can see everything.
I won’t post my input unless I think it’s really healthy. I will post my output when I do a full workout but not if I’m just walking my dog or going for a quick bike ride.
Just tried it for the first time. It’s ridiculously delicious! It’s almost like vegan jerky.

Guys … I totally caved today and ate some all beef salami D: I guess I have to slowly phase out meat rather than saying “Okay, from this second on, no more meat!”
I am now 128.5 (with clothes on and after eating, haha). So my BMI is now about 21. It was as high as 25 at one point, so I’m pretty happy about that. I lost 4.5 pounds in about 20 days. So that’s about 1.5 pounds a week. I wasn’t losing any inches (I don’t have a scale at school) so I was really worried I had hit a plateau. I am so so happy that eating healthy is helping me lose weight. I would like to note I ate HORRIBLY for four days when I was studying for my more advanced chem exam. A few bad days WON’T ruin your weightloss! Promise :)
