Get. It. Together.

I posted about this on my Instagram yesterday, but I figured I'd touch on it again here too. As of late, my food-ness has been a bit of a shit fest and it's super frustrating to me. I know slip ups are fine and apart of the journey as long as you bounce back, but lately I feel like I'm getting back in the mindset I had when I was still big. I ate when I was happy, ate when I was bored, really ate just to eat. I was so proud of myself for getting out of that mindset finally, and I had learned to treat myself with new clothes, mani/pedis, a trip to Target... but that's another story for another time when I feel like discussing my debt. Anywho, for the past 2 weeks I've been a binge machine. I'll do well all day, come home and workout, and then use the "I just worked out" excuse for chowin down on chips and salsa. Like, what the fuck Crystal? Seriously? Yes, chips and salsa are magical and delicious, but that is out of control girlfriend. I guess my scale felt bad for me losing my shit temporarily, because it only went up 1 pound since last week...no complaints here, considering the absurd amount of disgust I've been eating.

I can't even blame this one on moving in with Leon, because Lord knows my mom and brother ate complete garbage too. So to escape my excuses, I've not only meal prepped my meals, I prepped all of my snacks too so I have no excuse as to why I'm not eating something healthy. That's just a portion of the goodness for the week.

On a good note, Hell No Froyo July is coming to a close, and ya girl did so well! Not oneeee bite of froyo. Not sure I can handle myself in there still, so it might continue into August.. I think I might have to add Chips and Salsa to that list... yea definitely.

Couple little updates on the apartment as well!
 1. We most definitely have a crazy old lady as a neighbor. She gives us dirty looks/slams her door when she sees us coming and then speaks politely to Leon the next day. Uhhh ok? And she leaves her door wide open while she's sitting inside (or not). There's not really a hallway, it's more of come in and go straight to your door/go upstairs straight to your door...t's just awkward. So in short, she's a treat.
 2. We found a little Hispanic Market store across the street that looked pretty sketchy upon first glance, but last night we wandered over to check it out and its SO. GREAT. Not many people speak English in there, but uhhh money is money. So much fresh produce and its all so cheap!!! Our new fav store.
 3. Yesterday we went to Goodwill to browse around, and I found this great artwork to hang above our little table! $10 hollaaaaa!
4. It's also very weird that we went to my mom's house for dinner last night. Like, no longer my house. Odd. Speaking of my mom, she's decided to get healthy and she just hired a personal trainer and asked me to help with meal prepping/ideas and I'm so freakin proud of her. New motivation = found. Can't have my mom showin me up.

What's goin on in Bloggy World? I feel like everyone is on vaca...
