New Year New You

Have you ever really wondered what your body actually does when you sleep? It’s just amazing to me that I can go to sleep not feeling anything at all and as soon as I wake up, my body feels like I was hit by a train. lol. I did yoga so why am I so sore? Well I stretched as much as I could without hurting myself. My boss told me it was not good to stretch when your body is cold. I never knew that. He said you could injure your muscles. I went…

What a wonderful morning! Had a great rest. My energy has picked up a lot in the last few days. I still have not been able to make it to 1380 calories a day lol. That seems so weird. I use to hope I didn’t go over 1800 calories and now on a raw food diet, I cant make it to 1000. I got up and decided to go get some Robeks. The best juicing spot ever!!!! I got an ABC (apple, beet and carrot) with ginger. 32oz of sheer goodness. It took me til 11:30 to finish…

Since I went shopping I had a lot of food to choose from for the day. I decided on grapefruit for breakfast and oh my god was it good. I did buy some fruit bars from Larbar. Delish!!! They are made from dates, raw cocoa and cashews. I never thought that this would be good. My trainer had emergency personal business to attend to so I ended up working out with my boss. He is a beast. We were suppose to do 20 elliptical, 20 bike and 20 treadmill sprints BUT he took a phone…

Woke up early today, hopped in the shower and went to my favorite wholefoods in El Segundo. It is huge, think like a Costco or Sam’s Club but with all healthy or mostly healthy foods. They have a great organic section as well as a lot of local farm fruits and veggies that I always prefer to get. I got beets, sprouts, spinach, kale, raw fruit bars, kale chips, and some distilled water. I get a lot of things from wholefoods but I do do my bidding at more that one spot. My next stop was Trader Joe’s….

While detoxing I never have consistent sleeping patterns, one day it’s an early retire the next I cant fall asleep at all. The last week is indeed the best week for sleep for me. What has changed this go round is the 6 day a week workout regimen I am on. 3 days trainer 2 days gym (cardio) and 1 day outdoor activity. My outdoor activity today is hiking. I went to Runyon Canyon with some friends and we climbed the highest hill. As I watched the constant flush of people passing me up with…

Day 5 and I feel so much better. Muscles have stopped aching as much and I woke up extremely hungry. I had my apple cider vinegar as always and on the way to work I had an apple and 32 oz of water which filled me up. We were short 2 people at work so it was a little busier today than usual. I got a late lunch and went to this marvelous fresh Mexican food restaurant that makes guacamole from scratch. My trainer told me that I need to find more filling things to eat that will…

Hello all, Today I felt sick all day. Not only was it the start of Red Ribbon Week (my menstrual cycle) I felt nausea all day after I took formula 1. I drank tea all day and had to lay down a few times at work just so I wouldn’t get the urge to vomit. I had hot flashes throughout the day and could not eat like I so wanted to. Today was my day to go to the gym and I just couldn’t make it. After work I went home to try to take…

So woke up completely sore this morning. I could barely make it off the couch (yes I slept on the couch because I passed out at 9p.m.) to get ready for work. But I did. I started with my apple cider vinegar and my usual routine and went to work. I have installed this app on my droid called MyFitness which allows me to track what I have eaten through out the day and lets me know my calorie intake. My trainer Drew said I should try 1600 calories a day to start. Well…I barely…

Today was a good day. Got great sleep last night, but I woke up sore as hell. That trainer Drew…fabulous. If it doesn’t burn it wasn’t worth it. I started my day as I always do with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar as soon a I woke up. Took my shower had my first large glass of water and then took my first set of pills. The day went by smoothly. I talked to my sister at lunch and I told her what I was doing with this challenge and she made me feel good about this….

Hey guys, Today was an o.k. day. This isn’t my first time detox so I knew what to expect. I made sure I had enough water in me all day so I wouldn’t get hungry for junk. While at work, I missed my lunch which was all bad. After work I had my first personal training session with Drew. He is very amazing. He didn’t make me feel bad at all. My workout was going good then half an hour in, I started to get light headed. Not eating before a hard workout is definitely…

Hey guys, I wanted to thank Dherbs for giving me this chance to become a healthier me. I found out I was “obese” from my paperwork from my doctors physical. She didn’t even find it important to let me know. I entered this challenge because I was tired of not being able to breathe walking up stairs, tired of not fitting clothing I already have or having to purchase stretch jeans, tired of looking at pictures of myself appearing 2 times larger than what I thought in my head and definitely tired of being the big little sister….
