Aha! I am finally posting this Sunday Health Post early in the day! Usually, I am in the afternoon scrambling to write it, otherwise it just will not get written. {Score for me!} Hopefully the rest of today will follow of in such a good manor. I mean, I woke up with sunlight streaming into my window and a clear, blue sky in my vision. There is not much that could taint my attitude about that right now. Spring is finally on it's way! {Please do not let my regret saying that later this week. What the hell is snow, anyways? Harhar.}
Did you guys set your clocks back already? It's officially DST (Daylight Savings Time) and unless you live in a place such as Hawaii and Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), you might want to jump on it. The transition happened at 2 AM {It's not like we're sleep or anything....}. I do not feel exactly...bad about the time change, but come tomorrow morning I might. I will be waking up on my school's time and not my own, which is a major difference. Waking up on my time means that I wake up so peacefully; doing it on my school's time makes me cranky. Let's see, though! Haha.
*My sidebar--I edited that as well. A word was not parallel {This is the grammar/English Nazi in me.}, so I needed to change that. I ended up changing the font, too.
*I am getting excited because as Spring Break comes up, so does the time that my family will be getting a cat! Yay!
*If you guys have any tips about what to get with a new kitty (especially when they are declawed), please share them.
*I do not support the act of declawing cats {I see it equivalent to someone chopping off the rest of our finger from our knuckle. Ouch.}, but our complex is requiring that we do it in order to have one. I'd be extremely happy if we could find one that already is, but it's not likely.
*As the spring arrives, I am thinking that I will start posting travel tips to certain places that I have been, like Florida (my second home), Georgia, and Tennessee (only after I return back from my second trip during Spring Break).
*If you have any places that I should go to when I am in Tennessee, please do share!
I am unsure how to explain how this week went. I worked out once--ONCE. Moreover, I think that is fair because I have been horribly sick. {For some reason, I am not getting any better.} My eating has been decent seeing as I am slowing down my pace and forcing myself to quit eating once I feel "at that point". I have prevented myself from feeling stuffed a lot simply by doing that. Oh! And on Tuesday, I went to go eat at Xochmilco with my friend, Treasure, and my mum. That was the first time EVER that I did not clean my plate. I actually had a take home box and everything. However, since life hated me that day, I forgot it at the table. I was darn near in tears that day, but once I realized that I should be proud of myself for not overeating--although I was seriously contemplating it--I felt fine again.
That little moment made me think about the whole point of me trying to eat healthy and exercise: to lose weight! I understand there will be moments that I do cave in and binge. Those are the only moments that I should feel bad about what I did. I should never feel bad about saying no to overeating and stuffing my body. I finally listened to my body, and although I lost out on a quarter of my food (but so worth it), I repaid myself by being nice to my body. That's a new perspective that I am going to keep as I travel down this lane of getting healthy.
This upcoming week, I am thinking that I'd like to seriously get back working out! I am sick still, but darn it, I do not care. I miss working out and feel bad whenever I do not. If the weather continues to stay as it is, then I can see my mum and I starting to walk outside again. I've only done that twice so far. {One of them being during the bitter freaking cold. I don't know if I was insane that day or...}
