Clean Eating

Ever since Winter Break, I've thought about how badly I wanted to tone my legs. Shorts and swimsuit season is coming up so this would be a good time to start. I began to do at-home thigh toning exercises that I found on YouTube and I felt a lot of improvement over the course of a week. I also decided to count my calories, limiting myself to 1200 calories a day and realized that I eat half of those calories for breakfast. Anyways, this calorie-counting and eating right lasted me until school started (about a week & a half) and I went back to eating whatever I could afford. Healthy eating and exercising is so hard to keep up with while going to school and work and doing all that hibbityboppity. This goes a long with trying to save money. I haven't exactly given up on this idea of eating good (emphasize good & tasty) healthy affordable foods, but it is soooo difficult. I have full days' worth of school and work. I'd rather make food at home to bring to school than buy low-quality expensive meals at the food court but it's' really hard to find something that tastes good, is okay to make a day ahead, is low-priced, and might not need heating up. When I put all those factors together, all I can come up with is SALAD, which is not exactly a bad thing, it just gets really boring. But here's a picture of a salad anyways...
