I love to cook and try different kinds of recipes, I guess that runs in my family. I'm a decent cook (mainly thanks to my mom who always answers her phone when I'm freaking out in front of the stove), but there are times when I'm just too lazy to make something by myself, and it's so easy to grab a pizza to go. Last winter was like that, and you could see it from my body and skin. Couple months ago I decided it was time to put an end to it, and I started to pay attention to what I eat. I'm not too strict with my nutrition, but I added more fruits and vegetables, cut down meat (now I eat mostly fish, occasional chicken and some organic beef from my relatives' little farm), bought my own juicer and so on. Simple things, really, but now I don't feel so bloated anymore. And during spring, summer and autumn I'll be able to collect food from nature again!
Also, less alcohol. Last year I drank way too much and way too often, but now I have changed my habits. I still go for a drink (make that plural) with my friends sometimes, but it's not fun to do that constantly. And people often offer me wine with food, but I really like to drink juice or water!
So, less this:
Well, this isn't really THAT good example because I prepared it myself, but you get my point. I was trying to stuff myself with as much fat and salt as I possibly could.
...And more this:
I have an active and physically challenging job (I lost ten kilos when I started there) which is a good thing considering that I dislike sports, but I strongly believe I'm not going to stay there forever. Because of that I've been trying to be more active during my spare time, and this evening I was outside with dogs for 2,5 hours. I like biking too, but someone stole my lovely red bike last year (it was the third time, actually...) I guess I should let it go and buy a new one.
Swimming is fun too, but nearby lake is still fully frozen and this ice hole we walked by this evening is way too far from home. I would freeze to death on my way back.
