The Struggle is Real

Posted on April 3, 2016 by alicrain

This past year I’ve been struggling to lose the pounds I gained during grad school (I’m sure age isn’t helping!). But now that I’m preparing to leave the country in 5+ months I’m torn between wanting to get the weight off and eat everything I love that I probably won’t have access to in Morocco.

So when I SHOULD be eating foods like this:

I find myself self devouring foods like this:

The struggle is real people.

About alicrain

Wanderlust. Adventurer. Mom. Mentor. Change Agent. Crazy. Servant Leader. Citizen of the World These are all words that describe me - or have been used to describe me. There are many more but we won't get in to those. What is important to know is that at the age of 45, after having a successful career and raising a son, I decided I needed a new challenge and adventure in my life. So I joined the Peace Corps. Portions of this blog were written before this time and chronicle my life during graduate school (again, something I did in my 40s). During my service in Morocco (September 2016 - December 2018) I chronicled my daily life and all it entailed to live as an American female in another country. this is a place for me to capture random thoughts and share my life's journey
