Best. Lunch. Ever. (Oh and some stuff about my life)

Okay, I know I've sort of abandoned this blog but, well, I've just been far too busy for it.


HOWEVER, that does not mean that I have given up on my fitness journey- quite the opposite! I am on Day 31 (of 90) of P90X and cooking healthy dinners every night :].


I feel like doing P90X is the best decision I've ever made because: a) it gives me a schedule to follow (which I need desperately to stay on track and not slack), b) caused me to reevaluate how Mikey and I used to eat (going out for dinner every night!) and now I cook healthy meals at home every night (but we do use the weekends to go out :D), and c) it has made me feel so much stronger, more flexible, and all-around in great shape.


Even though I'm only 1/3 of the way done, I already feel (and look) so much better! Mikey has been doing it too. He is doing the P90x original, and I have been doing the Lean. I am so excited to say that I have not skipped a single day of working out. If I miss a day, I do 2 workouts the next. I have done every single workout and I'm so proud of myself!


Also, Mikey got a payed internship so he's gone most of the day :(, but it's really awesome because it's a great position! School doesn't start for me until the end of September.


Lastly, I think I may start selling some of my baked goods on Etsy! I'm excited about the possibilities with that :D


Annnnyyywayyys, the real reason I wanted to post was to share the amazing lunch I just had. It was just way to gorgeous to not photograph and share.
