What do you want in your life? – Having goals

Posted on:

I personally believe that having goals in life is very important. It is for me anyway.I’ve never had a 5 year plan or a 10 year plan thinking that when im 20 i’ll be in university, when im 25 i’ll have a great job and my own apartment, when im 30 i’ll have an even bigger apartment and have a dog and a great partner etc etc Those have never been my goals (Well, my own apartment and second dog are goals of mine.) But i know how things such as jobs, partners, when or if you have kids or marry or things like that, you cant just set a date 10 years beforehand.

How to gain weight on a vegan/vegetarian diet

Posted on:

Many think that a vegan(or plant based.. veganism is the actual lifestyle and not just the diet.) or vegetarian diet is just salad and pasta and potatoes, and many think that plant based diet is the way to weightloss, but that is not the case. You can still gain weight on a plant based diet even if it does mean that you do need to consume more volume than if you were to eat all types of food.In recovery i had no choice over what i had to eat. I was forced to eat red meat 1-2 times a day everyday even if i didnt even like it, and there were times where i just refused to eat the meat because i did not think it …

A day of meal prepping, procrastinating and avoiding the sun

Posted on:

Hello :)I had written a post this morning which was going to be posted this evening but it appears to have disapeared, but i guess its just as good… it was mostly just a long ramble of how i feel and thoughts.

My third test for the term completed and grilled banana snack idea

Posted on:

This Thursday feels alot like Friday, and i cant seem to stop thinking that it is Friday the 13th today… i guess i am just waiting for something bad to happen. However yesterday i kept thinking it was Thursday 12th i.e the day of my test, so i checked the date about 10 times throughout the day… this panicked feeling that i had gotten the day and time wrong for some weird reason and missed my test.
