Motivation
Alright, so I've gone at this about 14 times (or so, I didn't actually count) but I feel like I've failed every time. I want this to be that lifestyle change that people talk about. I want to eat healthier. I want to see my muscles. I want to feel good about myself, both inside and out. That's my ultimate goal. I'm not sure it's a number anymore... though a lower one would certainly make me happy.
I feel like I should mention that I have a digestive disorder that fucks with just about everything. Granted, it's not an excuse, but I have minimal control over my calorie intake since the majority of what I get is artificial and intravenous. My weight fluctuates more than average, and it's really frustrating. I have serious problems with bloating and bats of IBS, so really, I just want to feel good.

My Cupcake Batter Protein Shake
1 Scoop Vanilla protein powder
1/2 Cup nonfat/lowfat cottage cheese
1 T Instant, sugar-free pudding mix (any flavor, I used Cheesecake)
1/2 Cup Sugar-Free Vanilla Coconut milk
3-5 Ice cubes
Blend and Enjoy! =)
I think I would try yogurt or greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese. Can’t stand the stuff.

Wintery Spring Rolls
Here’s how this works. Each roll has a slather of ginger onion paste, a couple crunchy lettuce leaves, some mushrooms, tofu, and a bit of cilantro (or other herb of your choice - mint, basil). Roll tight, and you’re set…RECIPE

Healthy is Classy: Meal planning tips.

Meal planning saves time and money. Seven little dinners only require one trip to the grocery. Here’s a short post how to plan your meal from Anne!
# Rough out a simple menu plan for 3-4 weeks rotation. For starters, keep what you usually eat. But if it needs a little revamping, try new…
So I’m home.
The first day was kinda rough, chinese food, chips and salsa, poptarts, you get the picture.
But today, I had scrambled eggs, and now I’m having soybeans and apples, so I’m getting my shit together. Maybe I’ll go for a run today or do some pilates. I need to start moving again. Oh my god.
It’ll be good though.

Collard Dolmas with Fresh Thyme and Cranberry Tahini
Ingredients:
- 6 large collard leaves, trimmed and blanched
- 1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
- 2-3 tbsp. earth balance
- 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- zest of 1 lemon
- black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (plumped in hot water for 5 minutes)
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp. salt
Directions:
- Prepare the collards by removing 2/3s of each collard leaf’s stem with scissors. Boil the leaves for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Heat a skillet and melt the margarine in it, adding onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the lemon juice, salt, thyme, lemon zest, and black pepper and mix well.
- To make the cranberry tahini, blend together tahini, water, cranberries, lemon juice, and salt in your NuWave food processor until very smooth.
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, and salt together in a small bowl. Place one collard leaf down on a flat surface with the slit closest to you, facing vertically. Brush the top of the leaf with oil/lemon mixture.
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the rice to the bottom third of the collard leaf. Fold in the sides, then fold up the bottom, and roll tightly.

Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe between being home and being at camp, I’ll stay motivated enough to actually see a difference. Idk.
