This is great! I love how you break everything down. I have trouble losing weight, even though I’m very active (play sports 2 nights a week and work out once or twice a week at the gym). I’m trying to change my diet. It’s not that I eat unhealthy or anything, but I’m trying to eat lots more veggies and fruits and a lot less carbs.

I’m finding that I’m spending a ton of money at the grocery store every week! Totally sucks that groceries are so expensive now a days, but I guess it’s worth it if it keeps me health and I’m eating food that is yummy and good for me, right?

I’m not in grad school nor college (any more), but I find it difficult to plan meals based on the fact that I cook for one and am not really into leftovers. I need to find more foods that are easy to freeze/reheat so that I can cook better for one.

Lately, I’ve been so busy working two jobs, I find myself snacking a lot rather than eating, which is good I guess because I’m not eating terrible snacks and only eating when I’m hungry rather than on a schedule.

And coffee. Lots of coffee, which probably isn’t good.

BUT I love to cook and when things slow down in the next couple of weeks, I’d like to spend some more time in the kitchen. Also, giving up red meat was a WIN. I don’t even crave it. Turkey burgers are so much yummier anyway.
