The "New" Me

Wow, this healthy stuff is crazy! Since my last health-related post, I haven't really changed my eating habits, but I have added some stuff. I guess that might be considered changing, but that's beside the point. I eat some really nutrient-packed cereal in the morning with my orange juice, and since I eat a later lunch, I have a mini snack of some yogurt. I also munch on my broccoli and whatever the fruit du jour is for me. The result? I don't crave my cookies and chocolates as much anymore. I honestly never thought that would happen. I crave more fruity stuff now, like some juice or some grapes, and that's totally awesome.
It's tough, though, because I need to be putting on a few pounds. These additions to my diet are obviously not going to do the trick. Our regular food is so healthy anyway, so it's been difficult trying to find non-lactose ways to put a few on. I did go out and buy my Boost drinks again since that's what I've used for weight gain in the past, but for now, I am saving those as after-workout drinks since they have a bunch of protein in them. We'll see. I may just have to make it a daily thing again.
On a totally different note, my dear friend Sam called me yesterday! I miss him and his wife so much (and their adorable baby!). We talked about how my husband and I need to hurry up and have a little girl so we can start arranging her marriage to their son. Seriously. We'll just tell them, "Well, it's a big part of our spouse's traditions." (My husband is Korean, his wife is Chinese.) lol. It would be awesome if they did get married, though! Their baby is just so wonderful. Always so happy, no matter who's holding him. I didn't realize this when he was born somehow, but he was born on my husbands birthday! It's totally a sign.
Oh, and I told him our choices for baby names (which I'm not really telling anyone), and he loves our girl's name but said our boy's name was a little "unique" for him. It's actually just a name that kind of died out but was huge some time ago. I expect to hear some not-quite-so positive feedback once we announce our son's name (because we totally need to have one to carry on the family name--but girl first to marry their son ^.~), but we are in love with it and just love the history and meaning behind it. ^^;;
Anyway, that's it for now! Back to work for me. It's going to be a long one since I came in late. Yay for snow. -.-;
