The Real Ninakins's blog: "Changes"

Ok so today I was given a 100$ to spend, there were two rules to spending this money... 1. I had to spend all 100$ on me and 2. I was not allowed to pay bills with it either. So needless to say I was at a total loss as to what to do with the money. Anyone who knows me knows i have a much easier time spending money on other people. I sat for HOURS trying to think of what to spend it on, I asked a few friends and even my mom. After a while i just gave up and found other things to do. Later tonight my mom and i went to the grocery store, and i totally made the mistake of going hunger...lol. BUT i ended up spending almost 100$ on groceries... and not just junk and horribly fatty stuff like i would normally do in such circumstances. I actually bought HEALTHY food. I was so proud of myself, and it got me to thinking. That if i can take the extra effort and try to do this EVERY month or EVERY time i go to the store I can actually make myself feel better and look better. So i am going to talk this idea over with the ones closest to me, not only to get their opinion BUT to also get their support and to have some one there to be that lil voice that says now is that really some thing that is good for your body?! Now I know there is nothing wrong with how i look now or how i am shapped... and in all honesty i dont think there is any way i will EVER be smaller then an 18... if you have seen my hips you know why..lol. Its just not gunna happen But tonight was the first night in a LONG while that i was actually happy with what i ate for dinner and was surprised on how little i ate BUT was still just as full as i would have been on any other night i ate something crazy bad for me. In short this is how i feel: I am lovin it already!! My dinner tonight was Cherry Pomegranate yogurt, a 100 calorie Raspberry and vanilla Chewy bar with yogurt coating and two small stuffed portabello mushrooms. Not all at once tho.. hehe i ate the yogurt and the bar thing while i waited for the oven to heat up and the mushrooms to cook. I was full and happy that I did not eat a whole bunch. So going to have to keep up the yogurt and granola thing before the heart of the meal. I was quite surprised that I ate such small portions but was as full as i would have been if i had just pigged out on something crazy unhealthy. This may cost me more money each month BUT if I can keep it up i think i may be happier in the long run. So wish me luck on my venture to a newer healthier happier me If there are people who actually read this and want to know what all i eat and or do i will be more then happy to update... but you have to comment or i wont know
