I know this post has been a long time coming - so here goes nothing! Establishing eating habits that are good for both your body and your wallet takes some effort, but it’s definitely worth it. It’s important to say that I’ve been working at this for about a year now… and I’m by no means perfect…
Got friends in town for a bit and stressing about a work thing on Thursday. I’m going to try and post while I’m commuting and stuff but it will definitely be less.
As an aside, having visitors is always something that sets me off my weight loss plans. I forget to pay attention to calories, don’t keep up with exercising, and usually drink too much.
This time I’m trying to avoid that by harassing my friends into playing Dance Central with me and going on walks. Also, walks during my lunch break. Calorie counting will be whatever but I’ll try to stick with it. I think being active is the primary thing anyways for me.
Have a great day everyone. Hope you’re fit and healthy! <3

Easy Fruit & Herb Flavored Water
Ingredients
- fruit — 2 cups berries, citrus, melons, pineapple…most fruits will work (see recommended amounts in directions)
- herbs — a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender
- water (tap or filtered)
- ice
DirectionsSupplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon
General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don’t pulverize the herbs into bits.
2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just enough to release some of the juices
3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.
4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.
5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Suggested flavor combinations:
ALL CITRUS (no herbs) — Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs) — Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
PINEAPPLE MINT — Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
BLACKBERRY SAGE — Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.
WATERMELON ROSEMARY — Add rosemary sprig to jar & muddle. Add 2 cups watermelon cubes; muddle, add ice and water.Summer tiiiiiiime, and the living’s easy!!
I need to save this. I spend far too much on flavory water.
