How to be hungover...healthily
Not an oxymoron, I swear. I went out for a few cocktails last night after a long week (some old habits die hard, but hey, at least I went for the lower-calorie version - vodka soda!) and I’m definitely dragging ass a little this morning. Instead of getting some greasy-ass food (mmmm), I just googled “healthy food hangover.” This is what came up. Enjoy on your Saturday! 10...
On getting distracted.
I did, this weekend. I went to D.C. to see some old friends and fell back into some old habits. I had more wine than I’ve had in the past few weeks. I had tacos (mmmm). I had cheese. And no, they weren’t really worth it. I did, however, bring some of my new habits to D.C. I ordered salads with most meals, or I ordered vegetables. I drank lots of water with the wine.

Some nutrition guidelines
So here’s some guidelines my trainer gave me. I follow this probably about 90 percent. The no dairy is pretty tough. 1. I don’t listen to anything the news or anything I see advertised has to say about food/nutrition. You hear/see catch phrases like fat-free, sugar-free, antioxidants, low carbs, blah, etc. Oprah does this or eats that……All designed to make you buy...

Why I'm here/doing this
I’m 26 years old, and I’ve struggled with my weight to some degree or another since high school. I played tennis and did gymnastics, so I was pretty athletic, just not as thin as I wanted to be. When I went off to college, I gained the Freshman 15 and then some. I still didn’t consider myself all that big, just more than I wanted to weigh. Since I’ve graduated college...
