even though i slacked off a bit this week it still felt good. i ate that leftover soup for lunch for a couple of days. i maintained morning routine for the first part of the week but by mid-week i slept in until 6:30, fit in a meditation and that was it. didn’t do anything for my evening routine. even slacked off on my yoga practice. but i don’t feel bad about my week. i still feel like i ate well. i didn’t eat out save for thursday when K and i went to pei wei. had that for lunch on thursday. and here it is sunday evening and my fridge is completely empty save for five oranges, which means i ate all my groceries. last week i was subsisting off the wedding goodies (veggies, cheese, crackers, cake). today i made my grocery list. i am going to make samosas and lentil soup for my two recipes. i have these taste of india ready-made curry dishes that i am going to eat with my samosas and basmati rice. not tired of oranges, yogurt, granola bars yet, which complement leftovers for lunch. realized i wasn’t in the salad mood as that was the only produce to go to waste these past two weeks. this week i am going to work on my evening routine. my morning one is almost cemented. and i think it is perfectly okay to sleep in once a week and skimp a bit. i feel that for the most part i am going strong on my goals. i am eating so much better since i started working full-time again. i am back on a regular feeding schedule and my body thanks me. i just need to be more vigilant on the physical activity part. i do feel really good when i am active but it has been so cold these past couple of weeks that it has been difficult for me to motivate myself. i did write letters last week and deliver them. so that’s one point for evening routine. well, here’s to an even more productive week.
