I feel like this is somewhat of a strange post, but I find that people are actually interested in the semi mundane parts of life. Details like “what I ate in a week” are totally similar to the popular fridge posts, and Refinery29’s Money Diaries. A blogger I follow, Lemon Stripes did a post on what she ate in a week and I loved it! After reading the post, I came away with tips on different meals to make throughout the week. As you know, I mainly follow an 80/20 rule, where I eat very healthy 80% of the time, but live my life balanced by letting myself mindfully have whatever I want 20% of the time. I also do ClassPass as my main gym, but this week was a tad different since I bought a two week unlimited special at a yoga studio. I also was traveling and had a few days left of vacation at home while I created this journal. 🙂
