Goodnight!

I just bought my sister's birthday gift online, go me! I'm not really in the mood to go to bed, so I think I'm going to go on Pinterest and look for new workouts and health-related things. I know it'd be better for me to get to bed, but I can't help but feel inspired and motivated from Pinterest! Like I want to wake up 20 minutes earlier tomorrow so I HAVE to fit in a brief workout. That's my goal, at least!
I worked out for the first time in what seems like (and probably has been) WEEKS tonight! It was really nice to at least do something. It wasn't necessarily the most intense Pilates/Yoga/Calisthenics workout I've ever done, but overall I worked my whole body, tried some new moves that I've never done before, and I feel pretty good about it. I'm going to try to do as much as I can with it tomorrow as well. I'm starting up my cleanse tomorrow, drinking lots of water, eating high-fiber and high-protein foods, cutting out as much sugar and grain as I can, and overall doing my best to eat cleaner. I'm also going to cut out meat as much as possible as well.

I watched Food, Inc. during my workout and now I'm considering going vegetarian until I'm able to start buying my own groceries and researching companies that treat their product, the environment, and their workers with respect and dignity. Like now, I don't have much say as far as what goes into my food. I want to make the best choices I can as an adult, so I've been watching more and more food-related documentaries to give me an idea as to what might be best. Obviously, organic crops, local crops, non-GMO meat, fair-trade products, and unprocessed options are among my priorities. 

I want to see a change in myself, not just for the short term (PROM) but for the rest of my life.

Today was fairly uneventful! My sister got home from her retreat, I tanned, I learned a bit more about laundry, and I finished my homework so I'm feeling pretty solid! Tonight, I'm going to be exercising, and packing up food so that I eat well tomorrow when I start up my cleanse! Lots of fruits, veggies, and nuts as well as water. I really want to make sure I have my act together for Friday!

Goodnight!
