TEXAS!!!

Whew!!
The past days have been excruciatingly busy for me. I've been swamped with work, packing and moving, and saying goodbye to dear friends. I think I've eating enough to feed an entire country in the past week. 

Last night I went out with my friends for a final hoorah in Saint Louis(pictured above), my night was a mingle of lots of wine and spirits, and taco bell ( don't ask...I don't even like taco bell).  It was a great night, and I'm just now feeling faint pangs of nostalgia for Saint Louis
The big move from Saint Louis to Boston has been a very stressful one, and I haven't had any time at all to exercise( or rather should I say I haven't MADE the time to exercise).

I refuse to weigh myself for another 3-4 days because I know what I see on the scale might send me into some dark places.

I arrived in Arlington/Dallas Texas this morning and I'll be spending a week with my madre. My mother is a healthy eater so I know I won't be in trouble. My mother also has diabetes, so today I made her one of my quasi-detox smoothies. I put lots of spinach, a whole mango (skin included), grapes, almond milk, and ice in a blender and BLENDED. I thought it was DELICIOUS, for my mother it was a bit of an acquired taste, but I"m enjoying cooking for her and teaching her about healthier options with food. 

This week in Texas I will try to exercise at least 3 times, in any capacity, be it walking, running, whatever. My mother and I plan on going for a 5 mile wog sometime this week so I am most definitely looking forward to that. 

I realize that I actually MISS my smoothies, and I just got done having a glass. Although the past week I ate out a lot, I realize that I am more conscious of food and I actually MISS eating clean ( WHO WOULD'VE THUNK IT :). 

I'll try to stay updated with my blog, although I know I'll be quite busy. I'll be flying to Boston from Texas Saturday morning and that will be a bit of an adjustment for me, but I WELCOME the challenge of an intensive graduate program, in a new city, with health conscious like-minded individuals.

NAMASTE!
