Hi, ladies! Thanks for the good wishes for my exams. I’ve got one down—the advertising midterm—and one to go tomorrow. I’m so ready for spring break!
I just wanted to give y’all a quick update on what’s happening in my life (besides studying, duh!) Today, I wore a skirt with no tights for the first time in probably 5 months! Yes, it was warm enough for my legs to go naked (lol) and I really enjoyed it. I’m usually more self-conscious in shorts than miniskirts for some reason, but I’m planning on wearing my favorite pair tomorrow—we’ll see how that goes!
I’ve been dealing with a sore foot for the past week. I’m pretty sure it was because I was running in shoes that didn’t fit well, and I was overexerting myself when I first noticed the foot pain. It’s in the top of my left foot, but today it’s started to feel a little better. I decided to not run or do any cardio (besides walking to class) for a while. I felt a little guilty about that decision at first, but I don’t want to risk permanently injuring myself because I over-exercised. And it wasn’t worth the pain I was experiencing every time I walked—and I walk a lot!
I haven’t had too many exciting eats lately, besides the last of my Pure bars which I’m loving more and more! Definitely gonna have to get more of those when I get home for spring break. Oh, and I had one of my favorite things at dinner tonight—this vegan black bean lime soup. It’s not really soup, it’s super-thick and basically just beans, but it’s really yummy and it’s got 10 grams of protein and 14 grams of fiber in 1/2 a serving! Even though I am definitely no vegan (still love my seafood and Greek yogurt), I do enjoy sometimes eating vegan meals or snacks. They can be really delicious!

Spring break is just around the corner! I’m loving the warm weather and I’m hoping it lasts so I can play tennis with my dad, go bike riding, tan on my deck and enjoy family dinners outside.
Q’s: What’s your favorite warm weather outfit? Do you like to eat vegan things even if you aren’t vegan?
I remember how much I looked forward to spring breaks when I was in college (didn't have them in grad school)!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite outfit would be hippie type of dresses, summer dresses, and cute blue jean capri with tank tops.
Yes, I do enjoy eating vegan things--My sister is a vegeterian. We go to this really good vegeterian place in the city and I try different dishes ranging from plain vegeterian to vegan type of meals. It's pretty good....but I don't see myself becoming a vegan/vegeterian due to my ED though. :)
PS: good luck on your exams ;)
ReplyDeleteWhoo, go you for rocking that skirt. I know for some people showing their bodies is a HUGE challenge, and its awesome that you were able to wear it. And Ash, I'm proud of you for laying off the work-outs. You are EXACTLY right. Permanent injury tomorrow is not worth a little exercise today.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, even in my messed up, ED-ed mind, I loved wearing skimpy summer clothing. Short shorts and camis were my favorites. I loved showing off my legs at all times, and literally most of my shorts go right below my butt. It's not really in an innapropriate, too-revealing way (I hope) just in a really light, summery-clothing kind of way. Oh, and I LOVE flowy spaghetti-strap dresses too!
Good luck on this test!
I hope you're foot feels better. :/ But, definintely let you're body heal before pushing it.
ReplyDeleteI love that you wore a skirt! I get a little self-conscious in shorts too because I have a birthmark on my upper thigh, right under my butt. I love skirts, though, and dresses - I literally wore them everyday when I was younger. :)
Good luck with everything and have a wonderful week!

Good luck on your test! That soup looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to wear a skirt and show off your body!
Thanks so much for your supportive comments, they mean so so much.
Hopefully I'll be able to leave a better comment soon.

Hey girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have just come across your blog! I can relate to your story so much. I'm a sophomore in college and my ed began around my freshman/sophomore year of high school too. I'm so glad to see you're doing well!
Good luck on those exams! Isn't spring break great?? : )
