There are many ways of being healthy; everyone knows that. I don't want this blog to be just a fitness blog, although I did start out with that in mind. I want this to be a space where I can find inspiration to change my life around. To be a healthy individual physically, mentally and emotionally ;)

Currently, this is me:
> 1.62m / 5ft 3in
> 59.2kg / 130.5lbs
> no proper fitness routine; fluctuating weight
> not eating healthily; susceptible to illnesses
> low self-esteem + extreme insecurity

I want to have:
> 55-57kg / 120-125lbs AND STAY THAT WAY
> a good morning schedule (breakfast + fitness)
> toned arms and thighs and stomach
> good self-esteem & fun!

Learning goals/rewards:
> find a new recipe every other day
> cook one new recipe a week
> learn something on the guitar every week
> read two books & write! every week

Each day on this blog, I will post:
> one thing great about my day
> a poem or song that inspired me
> a recipe for healthy nommmms
> a decadent treat for the weekends
> anything else I think is worth blogging lolol

EXAMPLE:

• Lana’s BMR = 1500. Lana shall never eat below 1500 calories on days that she works out.
• Lana’s AMR = 1700. 
• Lana burned 600 calories swimming.
• Lana wants a 500 calorie deficit because it’s healthy and her deficit the other day was too high.
• Lana’s total calorie intake for the day should be 1800.

* Never compensate your food for a higher deficit. Never.
** If you know you won’t reach a high calorie intake for the day because you’re just not hungry, burn LESS calories or aim for a LOWER deficit. (Example: If Lana only wanted to eat 1500 calories for the day and maintain a 500 calorie deficit, she would only burn 300 calories exercising.)
*** Do not exceed a 1000 calorie deficit. It’s too high and it’s counter productive for weight loss. If you want a higher deficit, you need to eat 2000+ calories to maintain that kind of activity.

I’ve been getting a lot of “These are my stats, I exercise this much every day, how much should I be eating?” questions. I hope this is simple and easy for you to understand. Let me know if you have any questions. (:

Especially for people that are OCD like me and must have perfectly evenly buttered toast lol. Not only is it less in calories and fat, but it’s less dense and therefore easier to spread evenly and you’ll end up using less of it on your toast. I like to use Smart Balance Light which is low cal and vegan.

vegan oreo milkshake

before anyone else asks, YES, oreos are vegan! (just make sure to double check your labels!)

• 1 chopped frozen banana
• 1.5-2 cups almond milk (or any other non-dairy milk)
• 1/2 can (7 oz.) lite coconut milk, chilled (the canned kind, not the kind in a carton)
• 5 frozen oreo cookies (or whichever chocolate/creme sandwich cookie you like)

blend until milkshake consistency. start out with the 1.5 cups milk and add in until it’s however thick you like. even though it doesn’t produce a large amount of drink, it serves 2-3 people. it’s a pretty decadent milkshake :p

enjoy and keep cool!
