How could I forget to list my New Yr's Resolutions on New Yrs? Is it too late to list them out now? No? Ok! Here we go:
1. Be healthier.
2. Get good grades. (preferably graduate with high honors)
3. Manage money better.
4. Be a happier me.
5. etc....
I'm sure the list will grow throughout the year, but these are the ones that are top prior to me right now.
Now that I got that out of the way, I can talk about my food journaling. I think I finally learned how to eat smaller meals and more frequently. I noticed that I really don't eat a full-on meal until dinner time. Mostly because that is the only meal I eat with other people (my mom). And even then, I eat mainly vegetables or white meat (chicken or fish). Today, I went to BimBimBap with my friends. I was about 30 mins late. Oops. Oh well, I've waited longer for them before. Anyway, that's not the point of my story. I just wanted to say that I am proud of myself. I know eating out is always way more unhealthy than eating at home and being able to control what gets put into your food. Today, instead of the grill stuff with red meat and all sorts of marinade and white rice, I opted for a cold buckwheat noodle served with white vinegar, two slices of Asian pear, two slices of pork, and half of a boiled egg (I didn't eat the yolk). I also ordered a glass of Japanese plum wine called kinsen. Why the hell not, right? I did not feel overstuffed and I did not feel horrible afterwards too. Even after the slice of apple with caramel on top (on the house).
*note to self (as if this whole blog isn't): bananas are a key ingredient in smoothies to make it extra yummy!
