Happy Monday everyone! Originally this was going to be a “Monthly Favorites” post, I got the idea about two months ago and I wanted this to be a monthly thing. But recently (by this I mean today), I decided to be honest with myself considering my schedule and realized that a “Monthly Favorites” can be kind of impossible for me. So, I’ll be doing “Current Favorites” every once in awhile, whenever…
Why it’s important to take suplements?
Society loves quick fixes; if a pill can provide defense against a long list of diseases, it sells. But there’s a catch to consuming supplements blindly. Many people blow huge amounts of money on useless and overpriced supplements & weight loss pills. Well-chosen supplements can be an inexpensive and affordable way to avoid nutrient deficiencies and good health; for people who follow a…
This 5-Bean Salad combines black, pinto, garbanzo, cannellini, and kidney beans, onions, and garlic, tied together with fresh avocado! This super simple salad is perfect for lunch or a nice addition to dinner. I study and work which means that my three favorite things when it comes to food are: 1. easy to make, 2. cheap, and 3. full of delicious flavor. That’s why, I love bean salads, along with…
A couple of months ago, I saw a beautiful bowl on one of Tess Begg videos. I was amazed when I found out that they were made out of coconuts. Bowls made out of coconuts? What? For weeks, I put off buying them, and then, out of nowhere, one was gifted to me. I am in the process of trying to be more mindful of the items that I buy. I, without doubt, still have ways to go, but one thing I started…
Going Vegan is a whole lot more than learning to make bolognese without meat & dairy-free ice cream. Most people eat and wear animal products and rely on a multitude of products that are tested on animals. I have to admit to being guilty of this. Living in Island has a lot of cons, one of them being having limited access to other vegan products that are not food; like beauty, skincare, and…
Today i cracked open this magnum of Valentina : my favourite hot sauce for eggs/ breakfast!
Egg sandwiches are so fucking good, as long as the bread has got some grains in it.
I kept trying to post these lunches from last week but my phone kept shitting the bed!
I had my 5 grain salad every day with a variety of other snacks to keep me going for my whole work day!
I have no idea what I’m going to be eating for work lunch this week but I better figure it out fast!
Dinner with my ride or die was a big pile of tofu chow mein!
The leftovers from this will be tomorrow’s lunch too, which saves me so much time!
LUNCH! And breakfast, I don’t really eat breakfast on weekdays!
½ cucumber, whole yellow pepper, 3 laughing cow cheese with gluten free rice crackers, raspberries, a banana, a blood Orange, and a banana chocolate chip muffin.
HEALTH GOTH 2020.
I always want to burn everything down and start from the ground up when I feel like I’ve “failed” at something.
We aren’t going to count Health Goth as a failure, but I would like to stop ebbing and flowing between things and stick with this again, like I did in the summer.
Where I am- it’s cold. Like lots of heavy snowfall, colder than the surface of Mars cold. We have BRUTAL winters, it truly is the boreal wastelands, the frigid tundra.
It makes your moods do backflips. The highs of good days can feel so good and the lows of bad days can feel so so bad. The lows last longer too. They linger, like the cold does in the depths of your spine.
All that being said, I am ready to get back on track, ready to feel better again, ready to reclaim Health Goth.
So for everyone who stuck around, forgetting they were following this blog- Hi! I’m back. And for anyone who is just joining my journey- Welcome.
Let’s feel better, together.
⚔️
I’m back!
It’s been a few weeks, and I’ve fallen off the wagon (again, big surprise!) but here I am, worming my way back to feeling less like shit- or at least that’s the goal.
I have been eating pretty well. It hasn’t been all fried chicken and fast food - there has been a lot of bubble tea though. That’s my weakness right now, bubble tea .
I’ve been packing lunches that have been healthy, lots of veggies and hummus, but now I’m going to put my attention back into this blog.
Today I’m boiling a chicken carcass to make chicken soup for the week. I have a vegetable mix that I’m going to add, if I remember I will take more progress photos.
Work lunch of cucumbers, strawberries, rice crackers, banana, cheese, olives, and leftover farmer sausage.
Featuring my critters hopping around as I try to take my photos they were too cute to crop out!
I’ve been physically ill for the past week but I feel like I may be starting to feel a bit better, slowly but surely. Today I am apprenticing so hopefully everything goes well!
Friday lunch box vibes
Many different kinds of cheeses with some kielbasa, olives, pickles, and rice crackers.
I really love the texture and crunch of rice crackers and have always enjoyed snacking on them. I find them very salty and tasty!
yogurt with granola and bran and a leftover turkey sandwich.
my life has been weirdly chaotic, my BPD has been a rollercoaster.
I’m sorry for being absent
I did end up ordering myself some lunch yesterday- Vietnamese vermicelli bowl with BBQ pork. I did really enjoy this, I didn’t feel ill after eating it and the sauce was enjoyable. The only heavy part of this meal was the meat.
I wish they had a vegetarian or at least a tofu option. I am not a vegetarian, however meatless meals are a preference of mine 90% of the time. I find meals without meat are much more gentle on my guts and digestion!
All Goth no Health
I didn’t get the opportunity to grocery shop this week so this is what my meal looks like- everything I had hanging around the house that was on the go edible.
Yogurt and bran, cinnamon toast crunch and oat milk, and a Reese’s bat.
Today is going to have quite a bit of sugar, I think I’ll likely order something else to have today, perhaps a smoothie or salad!
I’m Canadian, and we don’t have Trader Joe’s, so this is a new experience for me, but when I spent the night with Ruby I was introduced to this spice blend in the morning and Woah, I think my life may be changed forever.
This blend is delicious on toast. I had it just on toast with some margarine and I’m truly shocked, I can’t wait to try it on fried eggs and hard boiled eggs!
American followers : what do you like to put this spice blend on?
Breakfast on a sunny fall Monday!
This week is hopefully going to be a good one, tonight I’m spending the night with my dear friend and fellow artist Ruby where hopefully we’ll make art and watch movies and have a really nice time!
Egg sandwich with yogurt and bran ✌
recent meals I forgot to post!
Monday I wasn’t feeling the greatest emotionally so I decided to slip into something comfortable and easy to prepare, which ended up being chicken noodle soup ( yes the Liptons kind from a package, we all have our weird food loves ) and two small grilled cheese sandwiches. I enjoyed this meal and it ended up being the only thing I ate Monday, I really truly was so emotionally checked out that this was all I could handle.
The other forgotten meal is actually last Friday’s lunch!
it’s almost the same lunch! but this one is a bit different.
I’m so excited that today is Friday. I’m going to be without my favorite coworker at work today because she’s super sick, which is a bummer, but at least it’s Friday and then I have my weekend to really catch up on some sleep!
what are you looking forward to this weekend?
