Ok, so although in my last post I said I was losing weight I am not doing it on purpose. I eat like a PIG over here, but walking at least 4 miles a day makes it hard to gain weight. In America I wore a 6-8 and ate fast food everyday....without exercising. So right now my body is just finding its natural weight. I am really eating a lot of vegetables, fruit, falafel, cheese, meats, etc etc. I was being really healthy until last week when I had a week of fried food. This week I am back to eating healthy. But I still have the occasional Coke cause they make me feel good...even though they taste nothing like Sonic's.
I sleep well here and wake up not feeling tired at all. I have never ever experienced that! So this post may be boring, but I didn't want anyone to think I'm like going anorexic or anything. Just living a much healthier lifestyle than people in America do (in general). Also my program has enlightened me to the ways people suffer from food-related illness. In poor countries they suffer from malnutrition. In rich countries people are obese - they call this an illness of affluence. So if ever you thought about losing weight or eating healthier, now is the time. When you sit down to eat a whole tub of ice cream just think how lucky you are! And then put the damn thing back in the freezer.
So I will post a picture of me in my skinny jeans soon. I have asked around if any of my friends have one, but no one has one. Somehow we all take a picture or two each time we go out, but because we took a few on each camera it always feels like a ton were taken. Then we end up with like 5. Weird.

What in the heck is falafel???? Is it cheese also or something weird like sprouts?? HA@
haha. No it is ground chickpeas with various herbs and seasonings. It is then fried...so not too healthy. It is a Mediterranean food, and there are lots of delis here that sale Mediterranean wraps, pitas, sandwiches, etc. It's good...I think you would like it!
i was thinking about our runs on the indoor track the other day when i was running outside. i was really tired, so i just walked a little to catch breath. then i remembered when we ran together, and i was really tired, but i didnt want to be the one who suggested we take a break, so we just kept running. if only i had that self-discipline...
ps - don't go aner, lexie
