Exercise and the black lung

Wow, it has been so long since I posted anything! I keep putting it off because I am planning on starting my very own little blog about food! I think that will be up this week, but I make no promises. The last month has been a giant blur of final papers, running around alberta, and now exercising. Shocking I know, but my brother has been in town... Look here he is




Let's just say he is fairly fit: he often exercises twice a day, goes swimming every second morning, and eats super healthy. He is also a great cook. Ugh so having a brother who is better at life then me and nearby has forced me into action. I've been going to the gym, running, and doing turbo jam. Overall it has been really good, I got slowed down a bit by the fact that I was crazy sick last week. But now I'm feeling better and back at it. Though now thinking about this is making me tired. Nap time?

My niece is a bad influence now this has been playing in my head constantly

That time of year again

I've officially checked out. My stress is at maximum levels which means that I'm gradually less productive. I have at least been keeping up with the deadlines of my in class assignments and starting to cook quite a bit again.

I love this. Basically jersey shore spoofs will never get old to me.

Nutrition ftw

I'm ashamed to admit but out of the last four days I have eaten macdonalds food four times, potato chips twice, greasy western asian food, and a instant soup. Now I'm not fanatical about having to eat healthy constantly but this seems a bit excessive, perhaps because I've been reading this blog, http://www.choosingraw.com/ , where Gena talks about her vegan with a focus on raw food diet. I feel inspired to try to eat healthier and also cheaper! Meaning I probably should stop obsessively buying roll up the rim drinks from tim hortons and bringing some homemade lunches to school. I remember when I did the wild rose cleanse I ended up really eating healthy and also having to really plan and watch what I ate. Now I don't think I'm going to go to that extreme but perhaps something similar.

so there are a lot of great things happening this week, my friend's Elyse and Melanie's birthdays on wednesday and thursday respectively. I'm also headed off to edmonton to visit my favorite frenchie Charlotte this weekend. But to be completely honest I'm most excited for this, http://www.downtowncalgary.com/dineoutcalgary! I'm taking my baby sisters for sushi on sunday at blowfish sushi and then I hope to go for many more lunches throughout the week.

My favorite picks for restaurants are:
-CHARCUT roast house
-Farm
-River Cafe
but really if I was not a poor student I would go to them all!

This week

I have been fairly sick for the past week and also have a lot of schoolwork to do, and also have a lot of social activities in the next while, so in theory I should be trying to get
a) get rid of my sickness
b) doing some schoolwork
c) getting organized for my social events

So of course instead I am watching house online and reading food blogs. My new favorite being

she is funny, honest, unpretentious, and talks about delicious food. What's not to love?
