I STILL EXIST
last time I posted I was 186, now I’m 168… I like the number switch there :)
the best part of losing weight isn’t being complimented on it (my coworker tells me all the time how toned I look, which I’d sort of disagree. still have a long way to go), it’s that I have a good reason as to why I need new clothes- I’m in my second smallest pair of jeans right now out of 40 pairs! haha I can’t wait to have a bunch of new denim :D
my next two paychecks are gonna be diesel from all the overtime I’ve been picking up so the aforementioned coworker is going to the Levi’s outlet with meeee

President Clinton, President Obama (then Senator) encouraging a plant-based diet! →
veganusofa.com
Link containing videos of Clinton and Obama sharing how they feel about healthier American diets.
Clinton (has a stent to reinforce a weak artery, vegan): I live on beans, legumes, vegetables, fruit…I drink almond milk with fruit and protein powder. It changed my whole metabolism…I wanted to lose a little weight, but I did it for a different reason…I researched that 82% of people since 1986 (with heart disease) who have gone on a plantbased diet have begun to heal themselves; their arterial blockage cleans up, the calcium blockage around their heart breaks up. We now have 25 years of evidence. So I thought, “Well since I need to lose some weight for Chelsea’s wedding, I’ll become part of this experiment. I’ll see if I can become one of those with a self-clearing mechanism.”
Obama (in response to Vegan Activist): I like BBQ. I’m not going to lie. But, the young lady makes a good point and that is: right now our food system is under severe pressure…Americans would actually benefit from a change in diet. I don’t think that that’s something we should legislate, but it’s something we should encourage…The fact that we are actually subsidizing some of these big agribusiness operations that are not necessarily producing healthy food, and that we don’t subsidize farmers selling fruits and vegetables…the fact that we are not doing more to make sure that healthy food are in schools…All these things do not make sense. Just making sure more fruits and vegetables in school lunch programs, that would make an enormous effect in our children’s diet, it would make use healthier in the long run, and it would cut our health care costs.”
Interesting topics to research: heart disease, agribusiness, food policy, improving school lunch programs, plant-based diet and decrease in healthcare costs
lost 3 more pounds this week
lalalalaaaa :)
Exercise: The Right Prescription: That would be whey better than leucine. Supplement companies aren't going to like me. →

Whey protein or leucine post-workout to increase muscle protein synthesis (MPS)? The Phillips group just published an article trying to answer this question.
Introduction: You all are probably aware that ingesting amino acids stimulates an increase in muscle protein synthesis even without…
I’ve been terribly ill the past few weeks. lost two pounds but that’s just from that. still eating healthy whenever I can keep any food down. I’ve been missing the gym a lot :/

Because I want to look back and remember 2012 as the year I got my shit together.
Yo! Yes! This!
my dad & I are on a serious hunt for the best spot to buy organic produce in our area.
my mom & I are looking at buying this decrepit 7-acre property & fixing it up together.
& I have to eventually pound into my head that even if I don’t have any true friends anymore & losing weight isn’t going to help me find them, at least I still have incredible, beautiful, supportive, lovely parents.
and might I mention, it wasn’t always that way. my mother used to be an alcoholic & beat the shit out of me & my dad wasn’t really around after I turned 2.
I want kids to know that life does get better.
I want myself to know that life gets better, too. I’m glad I stuck it out the past few years.
I feel like I post a lot of serious shit lately. I’m sorry, I’ve just been going through a lot & I have nobody else to talk to.
