Just Checking In—Resolution Journey
So I just got home from my parents'. I was there for the whole weekend for the second time this year. Of course, as many know, that when you are at your parents, the snacks are endless and the food is better than in your own fridge, and so that was a challenge. Although this is true, I held it together this morning and only had a healthy cereal with no sugar, apple juice (not the healthiest), but I am proud to say, since home this evening, I have drank nothing but black coffee and water. This was hard, considering black coffee is nasty, but I feel like a disaster and a half without caffeine in my system; a lot of it.

New Year, New Me... Again
New Years Resolutions It's that time of year again, the one where everyone is signing up for gym memberships, buying those new Nike runners from SportChek and setting their new year resolutions higher than probably maintainable. The thing is, everyone does it. Everyone says... "This year, I will be sure to...." and the majority of the time (not always) it never happens. See, I have said for the past at least ten years of my life, every year on December 31st, that it was going to be my year to lose weight. "I will have those abs by college next year." "I will have that beach bod." But did I accomplish that ten years later? No, not at all. After ten years, where I could have been putting in effort, instead, dinner dates with the girls or binge-watching Netflix seemed like such a more attractive idea. I guess the motivation just wasn't there, and I still to this day do not understand why.
