1 Mile at the gym, feeling a little under the weather today…my body was telling me to lay low. I have been working out hard lately and I think my body was trying to tell me something. That is one thing I have learned, when your body talks LISTEN. I have had small injuries last for WAY too ling because I did not listen.
Here’s to a better day tomorrow,

What a beautiful Monday this was(now, that is saying a lot coming from me…I HATE Mondays)
Breakfast
Coffee Time! I used to always drink disgusting poison creme in my coffee, but I finally found a clean solution for my occasional cup of coffee: a dash of Almond Milk and a couple of drops of Blue Agave sweetener. Yum, Yum, Yum.
Running late this morning and did not have time for my green smoothie so I am making up for it by drinking a few extra cups of herbal tea today!
Lunch
Veggie Sandwich:
Avocado, Tomato, Onion, Cucumber, Pickles, Mustard, Sea Salt and Pepper…on Whole Wheat Bread.
Dinner
Homemade Veggie Tacos:
Black Beans, Romaine, Tomato, Avocado, and Onion
Simple and so filling!
Workout
A nice long and heated session of Anusara Yoga focused on arm strength. Half way accomplished my first reverse wall climb, Ill post a pic when I can do it without falling a million times! Then finished off my workout with a 15-minute weight session focusing on arms. Early dinner, late workout=a beautiful night.

Well health world, I apologize for my absence, I have had a crazy couple of weeks. Work has been insane and since I am so exhausted by the time I get home and work out I really didn’t feel like posting. Plus I was terrible at taking pictures…I was seriously busy. Too busy.
So in my time away, I lost 12 pounds! Yayy! My 2-week cleanse really helped jump start my weighloss. Also, not drinking alcohol seems to really have a huge effect on my weight. It was sobering(no pun intended) to go 14 days with no alcohol at all. I realized that although I love the occasional drink or two, life sober is beautiful. I got so much done and I was super motivated and energized. I don’t think this means I’m gonna quit drinking forever, (last night I had a glass of champagne…okay two!) but I do realize that I drink way too much way too often. Alcohol is a depressant and I am not a depressed person so why drink so much? Here’s to a new semi-sober me.
Paired with the ‘no drinking’ rule I had NO dairy and NO meat, now this is pretty easy for me because I already do not eat those things, but I did notice through this cleanse that I was getting a little more experimentive with different raw and natural foods. It’s exciting, now if only I could get my husband to eat the same way, it’s annoying sometimes to make two different versions of the same dinner. Although we make it work, it would be nice to eat the same!
So to sum up the last two weeks…after I finished my cleanse on August 5th, I kept up with my healthy eating, I did have some wine on Thursday and there were a few cheat days mixed in, but fairly clean eating and working out still ensued so I am still on may way to being the healthiest version of myself. Have not given up yet.
I am considering doing weekly posts instead of daily posts, I never wanted this blog to become stressful and the daily posts are really stressing me out, I feel so guilty when I don’t post. So I say weekly posts might be better.
Thanks to those of you that continue to support this blog, you inspire me.
Till next time,
