That 15 Miler Selfie

I’m backkk – well for a day :)

Life has been crazy busy. You can assume that life is ‘crazy busy’ anytime I get away from my blog for more than a week.

I have pretty much moved into my apartment, which is about 30 minutes from my house and approximately 2.3 miles from Lulu Lemon. Catherine and I went the other day, and lets just say if I do not figure out self control while going in that store, I am going to be in deep trouble, I bought too much and Catherine bought $18 undies. No shame. Anyway, I am absolutely LOVING living on my own. I love, love, love having only what I want in the house. I mean I do not have to deal with my parents grocery shopping, my dads jelly bean obsession, not having room in the fridge for my healthy food, etc.

My parents are pretty chill people. When I need help with groceries or rent they are very understanding. They were like this when I lived at home too. If I wanted to grocery shop my mom did not think twice before giving me her visa. I appreciated that a lot! It was helpful when trying to eat healthy. But of course there were still foods in the fridge that were making me unhappy, binge, feel bad about eating it, etc.

Now when I go grocery shopping I look for the cheapest possible thing. I try my hardest to still get organic, natural, whole foods, but it is hard on a budget. I was at Target today and was thinking my total would be under $50 for the week, uh no, $96.52. Bummer. This is something I need to work on, how to get in almost 1900 calories a day while eating expensive foods.

But what else is helping me stay on track is IIFYM (if it fits your macros). I will make a post about this sometime soon, my thoughts on it, pros, cons, etc. But for now if you want more information click HERE. http://iifym.com

For now I will leave you with a lovely selfie from my 15 MILE run yesterday. I was so proud when I finished, because this is my longest run EVER. I was able to run it with Catherine and Katie, although we are all different paces we still got to meet up along the course. The best part was we finished 15 miles and had to walk back a mile. Today the legs are not moving much.
