Officially over a month and still going strong!! This week I finished my squat challenge, reveal this months challenge and try out some new super foods!!
Exercise...love it! Live it! It's part of my life!
I've discovered I love to run!! I picked up some hand and ankle weights and I've been going father and longer each time. It's such a great escape! Walking is great with the kids but having this time for myself is fantastic! Only downfall is my shins! They kill! But here's to waiting out being fit enough for that to not happen anymore...I've completed the squat challenge! One month of kicking my own butt! The results are astounding! My thighs are super tight and have hardly any softness left to them, my butt is nice and lifted and firm and my legs are super strong! This months challenge is for the abs! Starting at 20 adding 5 everyday of crunches, bicycle and crunches to each side. Here's to a tight core! I find working out is so much fun for me now! I feel like I'm shaping my body, molding it into what I want it to be and flexing what I've worked for thus far...it's almost like working out is really playing with my new shiny toy of a healthy body!
This Week's Ingestibles
I've discovered that Raleys is a fantastic grocer who carries a vast selection of health foods, which is a super plus for anyone working to learn to eat clean! I'm on a Greek yogurt kick, have one everyday with chia seed. Chia is super high in nutritional value and way easy to add to all sorts of things but the best thing is it's a fantastic natural detox aid and will clean you out super quick! I feel amazing! Still living on my green leaf salads and eggs on the regular. Food is great but organic clean food is devine!
No More Dirty Little Habits!
I'm five weeks tobacco free this week! And as for my coffee I still enjoy two cups a day, which is ok by my standard, and I found out So Coconut products makes hazelnut creamer! When I can't find the flavored I go with plain and use a packet of stevia and it satisfies me.
How I Feel
I'm pretty sure it's obvious, as I notice all the exclamation points above, but I am so happy with life right now! My body feels and looks amazing! I have tons of energy, I'm eager to get ready in the morning. Everyone around me is starting to notice a change on their own and I love that!
How I Look
My clothes fit so much better and are even getting a little big! My stomach is weeks away from being flat, I just know it, and that's been years! I have a skin condition called milia, my pores are so tight they don't release sebum (oil) and so it turns into a hard granule, almost like sand, and gets stuck there. These are coming to the surface and being extracted on the regular for the last few days, a first since I learned of the issue in 2005.
I am hooked. I'm becoming passionate about where my food comes from and not just for taste but because it what I use to fuel my body (shameless plug: March Against Monsanto May 25th, google it for location and if you don't know what Monsanto is please take the time to do some research, this company along with a few others are
Poisoning our food, ground and water, control the FDA and even have legislation passed where it's illegal to stop them even if it's found they are hurting people or the environment). I love my new lifestyle and it's paying off for myself and my children!
