Awww…Saturday! Woke up early and went for a hike with my baby love!

Run

Mt. Rubidoux (Riverside, CA)

Hike1 Hike2 Hike3

Had a nice run/hike…kinda had to cut it short cause my pup was tired…It must have been 90 degrees outside…I carried him much of the last mile.

I didn’t eat anything today…I tend to do that on Saturdays(Not a good idea) I am just not hungry on Saturday…I actually didn’t even notice that I didn’t eat. Oops!

Workout was good…

Hike-Check

JM-Wk 1-Check (I am so glad it’s over…when it gets to that 6th day of the same workout…it’s pretty boring!)

Side Bends-Check

Plank-Check

Ball Squeeze-Check

Don’t fret I am having dinner tonight…it’s my meat day and my husband is making my favorite…tacos with all organic ingredients(if only we could have gotten the meat from our own cow…maybe one day…)

Dinner

Oh…and I am SUPER cheating today…my biggest struggle has been giving up beer(Heineken) and I have done a good job thus far, until today…I was tempted today at Trader Joe’s and I caved…so YES I am having a beer or two tonight, deal with it!

Beer

Looking forward to tomorrow’s REST day!

Day 3: May 9th 2013

Today was a bit of a hectic day, woke up late(cause I have been staying up WAY too late blogging!) I did have my regular cup of hot lemon water(no picture necessary, it always looks the same), but skipped the smoothie today…and  I did something that I never do this morning…ready for it? It’s pretty bad…I drove through Carl’s Jr. and got a egg biscuit! Ahhhh! I was so hungry this morning from not eating dinner last night I couldn’t resist. I shocked myself and felt sick for most of the morning afterward.

(Insert picture of junk food here)

…Oh wait I was too ashamed of what I did I didn’t even take a picture.  I was actually not even gonna tell you guys about it, but then I realized WAIT, that defeats the whole point of this blog challenge right? This is supposed to be a truth-blog, cheating and all…the truth. Getting healthy is a lifestyle and a choice and a struggle.

Anyways, after my fast food sickness subsided I attempted to cleanse my body with my usual cups of tea…

Tea

Tea Wisdom: ‘Appreciate Yourself and Honor Your Soul’

(Thanks ‘Yogi’ Tea…my absolute FAVORITE)

Lunchtime: Leftovers Again and Some Peppers to Spice it Up

Lunch

Afternoon Snack

Afternoon Snack

Dinner

Dinner

My husbands veggie version of his Teriyaki Chicken, so yummy, bell peppers, serrano, soy sauce, wheat noodles and whatever else he puts in there! It is so yummy!  Oh and a whole wheat sprouted bagel with my favorite Vegan butter ‘Earth Balance’

Workout Completed:

I was starving and tired but it ended up being a very strong/thorough workout, I was shaking afterward!

JM-Wk 1-Check

Plank(60)-Check

Side Bends 3×30-Check

ABS-Check

(Skipped Yoga yet again…FAIL)

I’ll spare you the obnoxious pictures of myself today…You’re welcome!

Goodnight,

My Morning ‘Cup of Joe’ 

LemonWater 050813

Almost every morning I drink a cup of hot water with lemon, I actually look forward to it…my favorite part is that the lemon acts a natural diuretic, it is wonderful and great way to cleanse the kidneys and any other toxins left in the body (It makes you pee), it also initiates your metabolism and the lemon balances your pH.  Some studies show it aids in weight-loss and keeps your skin pretty and clear too.

The Daily Smoothie

Breakfast 050813

Aww…my morning breakfast smoothie! (Sometimes I have a difficult time getting it all down)

Ingredients: (These often change based on what veggies and fruits are in my fridge)

-A little dash of 100% Cranberry Juice(not from concentrate and no sugar at all)

-Pineapple Juice

-Kale(a whole lot of it)

-Spinach

-Berry Medley (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries)

-1 teaspoon on Flax Seed Oil

-And lastly water

It’s a little tough to get that Kale down since it doesn’t blend well, but it is a perfect ‘breakfast’ meal to tide me over until lunch.

Lunchtime

Lunch 050813

 

Leftover artichoke, a few pita chips and veggie spaghetti (made by my wonderful husband Monday night!)

Afternoon/Before Run Snack

AfternoonSnack 050813

Trader Joe’s Pistachios

 

 Run Time At My Favorite Spot

SlowRunDay 050813

Today was a nice slow, short jog for me…my marathon training injury spiked today so i took it easy.

‘This Month’s Schedule’

May 2013

I love regimen and based on past experience this seems to be the best way for me to keep on track, there is nothing like crossing off a day when you have done everything on your ‘workout’ to-do list!
