New Month, Better Me

Hello Cuties

     A lot has been on my mind.  I finally clawed my way out of the hole I was in at work.  I was buried in work for months and finally caught up.  So now that my work life is in order, I feel compelled to get my personal life together (lol).  

     I'm going to try following some tips to see if it betters my energy levels and mental wellbeing.  In bed by 10pm.  Aiming for 10 hours of sleep.  Exercising everyday (rest week of cycle).  Eating more fruits and veggies.  I'm planning to get a Magic Bullet to make smoothies in the morning.  This way I force myself to get more of the nutrients I'm lacking.

     I'm hoping this will make me less susceptible to illnesses, give me more energy and help me lose a few pounds.  

       I think the hardest thing to be consistent with is the bedtime.  It's sooo hard.  I'm usually up until 2am.  But I'm pushing myself.  The days that I get all of this done, I feel a lot better the next morning.  I don't feel as sluggish now a days.  

      I also vowed to order food less.  Uber eats and doordash will be the end of me.  I use it mostly for work.  I fail on some of these lifestyle changes from time to time, but that's ok.  Everyday is a new chance.

Recent lunches

     Made this salad myself!  I hadn't been to the store to get grilled chicken yet so I used my chicken strips.  Fresh cucumber, spring mix, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, strawberries, croutons, and balsamic vinaigrette.  I learned I LOVE strawberries in my salad this past Summer (lol).

     One day for work I didn't have time to prepare a lunch so I ordered a salad from Panera.  Here's what I got~

Places we've been out to eat

Sushi Nami

     Absolutely love this new addition to the Metairie area.  They have all you can eat sushi and food (as well as à la carte).  Our favorite item is the crabstick nigiri.  It's simple but just SO good.  That warm crabmeat and spicy mayo just does something to my soul (lmao).  

Yakuza House

     Quite the treat especially since it was our first time visiting.  Everything was exceptional!  Prince's favorite item is the crispy rice with tuna.  My poke bowl was crazy good!

Love this picture on the wall.  You know I had to take pics~

     I hope the changes I'm making have a major effect on my mindset.  I've been dragging in every sense of the word.  I'm tired of feeling so low.  My boss and coworkers all say I'm "not myself".  I'm just tired of feeling so stagnant in life.  But anyway, I don't want this post to feel heavy.  Wish me good luck, yea?
