Hello there! Long time, no blog. BUT I've been super busy. I moved back to school, classes started, I'm actually working at my new job and not training anymore. I know, excuses, excuses. I'm sucking at my own resolution just like the damn resoultioners at the gym that I have such ire towards (speaking of, the gym at school is super crowded right now and I'm not okay with it). SO in order to not be one of those people, I'm back and ready for action. I've decided the best way for me to stay motivated is to make a little blogging schedule for myself (it would also be cool if I had a readership, but I suppose that comes with time and effort). I'm going to try and stick to a different theme each day (a la Daily Grace when she was Daily Grace, only probably not as funny and amazing, I'm going to try), and here's what I'm thinking:
Monday: Miscellaneous! I feel like the at start of the week I won't want to feel constrained to a certain topic (I don't want the man holding me down on my blog every day). Also (and more importantly), I like alliteration so Miscellaneous Monday it is.
Tuesday: Cool recipe/new workout day! I'll share any recipes or workouts I've discovered lately that I think are worth mentioning.
Wednesday: What I Ate Wednesday! This is a thing bloggers do, right?
Thursday: Real talk day! I'm probably just going to ramble about my anxiety. I already see a therapist, but why not consult the Internet as well.
Friday: OOTW and more random musings! I'll share my outfits of the week (prepare for mirror pics), and then just chat it up with y'all about whatever.
Saturday/Sunday: Long run recaps! I usually do my long run on Saturday or Sunday depending on my work schedule and weekend plans, so I'll share with you all how it went and how my weekend is going. On the day I don't have my long run, I'm going to take a rest day (this is a healthy living-ish blog, so I can call my off-day a rest day, right?)
Of course, I'll probably share with you my daily workouts and interesting meals whenever I feel like it, but I think these themes will keep my blog interesting, and help me when finding out what direction I want to head in with my blog post.
Right now, I'm at my parents' house. We had Sunday dinner of homemade chicken pot pie, which was absolutely scrumptious.
I also ate some berries and watermelon a little later. I never get that when I go grocery shopping (because I'm cheap and buy frozen berries), so it was a nice treat!
Finally, I weighed myself for the first time in a couple weeks. I've been keeping up with my calories on My Fitness Pal, and my goal is set to gaining 0.5 pounds a week. Most days, I don't hit my suggested calories because it still freaks me out to be eating so much. But I doing better, and apparently I'm doing something right because I'm up to 127, and I have three more to go until I reach my goal. In some ways I'm proud of myself for actually doing this, but I can't deny the fact that it is weird to want to gain weight. I feel like society tells me I need to be skinny, skinny, skinny, and even though I know 1. I'm still skinny and 2. this is to be healthy, it's still weird for me. I also worry that I will keep gaining even once I hit the 130. Obviously, as long as I set my goal to maintain instead of gain on My Fitness Pal I'll be fine, but I can't help this weird anxiety.
Well, on that note, I'm heading off to bed! I have my internship bright and early tomorrow morning, and don't want to be completely reliant on coffee to get me through (I mean, of course I'll be someone reliant. I'm very much addicted to that sweet, sweet caffeine).
Please give me any feedback on my new schedule, and let me know if you've had any experience having to gain weight!

Right now, I'm at my parents' house. We had Sunday dinner of homemade chicken pot pie, which was absolutely scrumptious.
I feel like this is the epitome of a home-cooked Sunday meal.

Looks like summer, I'm going to pretend we're not getting 2 feet of snow on Tuesday.
