Just made some oatmeal with brown sugar, freshly ground cinnamon, apples and soybean milk powder... delicious! Wish I had added a little more cinnamon, but it's takes forever to grind. Next time, I'm also going to put in another apple. I'm realizing that despite what everyone thinks, it's actually quite easy to be vegan here. You just have to be diligent about going to the market and cooking to make sure you get what your body needs. You won't survive eating out here that's for sure....I noticed how grouchy I get when I don't regularly (figures lol) so I'm going to be diligent about bringing snacks with me to class for break. Napping has also being doing me a world of good. Planning on going to the gym tomorrow, but I may not depending on how I feel in the morning. I still feel like I'm not eating enough to make doing that safe and I don't feel well right now. Lastly, I got super hungry today and ate both my lunch and dinner :3 I haven't been that hungry outside of these past couple of days in a long time.

9.24 + Ramblings

I'm so happy I found a way to access my blog! Trying to get back on track. Long story short, the first couple weeks were a hit and a bit of a miss for staying on track. I've done a pretty good job staying away from certain food that made me gain a lot of weight the first time I came here (rice, meat, sweets, snacks). I'm also doing a better job sticking to being vegan. Had to go vegetarian for a while, but that I'm able to cook for myself, things should be a lot better. Going to get my eating back on track before I start working out full out again. Rather be safe then sorry and I know I'm not eating as much as I need to as I get back in the swing of things. I've lost a bit of weight since I've been here, but I honestly don't know how much because I haven't bought a scale yet. Hoping to get one soon. Even though I don't work out a lot, I've been walking a lot more so I still feel like I'm getting a good bit of cardio in throughout the week. My mood and energy levels have been off for a good bit of time, but it could just be from falling out of my normal routine. It's also kind of hard to log my food online here so I've been writing everything down in a Word Doc. Starting to expand my menus as I plan what I want to eat each week.

I'll be posting and updating my tumblr regularly again :)
