Step one. Consistency.
Alright, so each week I'm trying to work on one thing.
Tomorrow is Sunday so I figured I would start then.
I'm kind of excited to start this one first because I'm currently unemployed. Seems like it's counterproductive to start with consistency without a job, but it'ss more, personal consistency. I can fit in work consistency when I find the job I want to have.
I started the "Eating Clean" "diet."After reading up on it, it's really more of a lifestyle than a diet, because in my mind, diets are temporary and always end in failure.
So, my first task of consistency is going to be making sure I'm eating clean every day.
Breakfast:
Oatmeal with fruit.
Protein pancakes with fruit.
Egg whites with whole grain or whole wheat toast and fruit.
Whole grain or whole wheat bagel with fat-free or low-fat cream cheese topped with raw smoked salmon.
Yogurt, homemade granola, and fruit.
Lunch:
Whole grain or whole wheat grilled Panini style sandwiches with clean ingredients.
Grilled chicken with avocado, beets, house made lemon dressing, and mixed greens.
Turkey burger with house made jalepeno slaw, or sauted spinach, with grilled tomatoes, and other grilled veggies (ranges).
Dinner:
This list is endless.
Fish. Chicken. Turkey. Pasta. Veggies.
There's so many things that are so fun to make for dinner eating clean.
Snacks:
Yogurt with granola.
Fruit.
Veggie snacks.
House made trail mix.
Hummus.
I want to try and set my meals ahead of time, but I realized that's just about pointless because God only knows if I'll still be in the mood for those dishes by the time that day comes around.
So. There's week one.
Also, I need to work on consistency within myself.
Personality consistency? Does that even make sense.
I've noticed that my stress level has been so high, I've actually been having nervous breakdowns. So much, to the point I basically blew out my voice box and have next to no voice.
The boy thinks it's hilarious. The not having a voice part.
Speaking of the boy...
I'm going to stop holding it against him that he's not what in my mind I would have loved to see myself with. He's a nice guy. He's attractive. He has a lot going for him as well, do I think we'll end up in a serious relationship, no. Do I think we'd be able to have a not awkward friendship, yes. I think he might be the stepping stone. To prove to me, all guys are cheating assholes. He's really tolerant of me and my moods, when I'm having a bad day, I use sarcasm and snarkiness constantly, especially at him, because then his downfalls piss me off and annoy me and I'm already annoyed, so basically, before even talking to me, he failed haha. So yea, he puts up with it, where most people would say "fuck off, you bitch for no reason." So I'm going to allow some walls to come down, to the point I can keep them down, and I don't run from the next person who could possibly be perfect for me, because shit gets a little tough.
Speaking of the perfect boy....
It's both image and personality. Like I said in my previous blog, holding hands, cooking, PDA, just I dunno.....stupid mooshy stuff, I want that. I want a guy to be so completely into me, that he doesn't see anything else. When he looks in my eyes, he sees his world and where he wants to be in it. I know.....pretty high standard huh? But whatever, girls deserve their boy, no matter how much he's supposed to be hahaha. I don't care if he makes a lot of money or not. He could be a struggling artist, a counselor, a musician, or working in a restaurant trying to figure out his career path dream. Image-wise......tall. Like 6' or taller. I love wearing heels. I have A LOT of money spent on heels, not individually, but collectively. Tattooed. I mean really, this is a requirement. And I don't mean one or two. I mean, tattooed the fuck out. Sweet spot = throat tattoos and neck tattoos. If I outnumber you with tattoos and it intimidates you, it will never work out. Unless of course you plan on outnumbering me and you're in progress, that might be your get out of jail free card. I also want a guy who's into the clean eating movement, or if he hasn't heard of it, will at least hear what it's about, and be on board to cooking and eating that way. MUST LOVE DOGS. I don't care if he has one or two, but I have two right now and well, he better like him. Even though the Attack Brat, Evie, is a pain in the mother fucking ass, she's still sweet as pie when she wants to be. Then there's Marley, or Marley Puppy, or Bubs, depends on the day, who's retarded as hell and afraid of certain spots on the hardwood floors. Worst sound is him trying to gain traction with his nails on 'em it drives me insane, but I love him and he's goofy. So yea, those two, must be loved. The fact that I'm buying a house, can in no way make him feel insecure. My car isn't always spotless, neither is my house. Sometimes life gets in the way. Don't judge me bc one night you came over unexpectedly and it was messy.....I clean the crap out of my house when I'm expecting company. I don't want to have to constantly see you at your place. One of the things that sucks with the boy currently, he lives nearly 45 minutes away and he hates ITP (Inside The Perimeter) I guess that still doesn't help, but I live shit you not 5 minutes outside of the city. He lives 50. I will be buying a house even closer to the city. Ok back onto the image part. I AM A SUCKER for dark hair, beards, and black glasses......I don't know what it is. I saw my friend Nat the other night......and I shit you not, I fell a little bit in love with him for the man he's turned into (it's been about 3 years since I've seen him). He's still a commitment phobe and doesn't even live in Atlanta anymore. But he's single. So it's fun.
Picture time.
i think my feet are shrinking. and i love these fucking shoes.
clean dinner i made last night. turkey sausage. mushrooms. spinach.
clean eating fridge
saving money on iced coffees lol
clean dinner tonight with the boy. spinach and feta stuffed chicken. over sauteed spinach. with a mushroom gravy. and clean mac n cheese.
Boys.
^ i know him personally. but he's married.
^ he's on plentyoffish...but he's probably a dick.
They're in Atlanta August 5th for anyone who's interested. I love them.
