Turn it up Tuesday

Maybe it’s the changes that I see in my body, energy, state of mind, etc. that motivates me or maybe it is all of you wonderful fellow bloggers that just gave me the extra push, but I have NEVER been so motivated in my life.

My workouts have changed so much and I am eating crazzzy delicious, healthy, foods.  It is crazy because my body literally cravesss this food. 

Food today:

• Grapefruit, blackberries, and 1/2 a banana for breakfast.
• Coffee w/ coconut milk.
• Egg white omelette filled w/ spinach and light mozzarella.
• Green tea w/ tbls of Apple Cider Vinegar.
• Lunch was a smoothie w/ plain Chobani, mixed berries, coconut milk, flax seed, 1/2 a banana.
• Dinner, 1/2 a turkey club on whole-wheat (no bacon, add avocado)
• Green tea w/ tbls of Apple Cider Vinegar

Workout:

• Ran 15 minutes
• Walked at an incline of 9 for 15 minutes
• Squats & tons of other leg exercises in the studio
• Then, I worked for 5 hours (cocktail waitress).  This is my part time job for some extra cash while I student teach & what I did through out college. I count it as a little light cardio :))

What motivates you all?!

Coffee & coconut milk.

Happy Mondayy!

This morning I had a delicious smoothie w/ flax seed, plain Chobani yogurt, mixed berries, coconut milk, 1Truvia packet, pom seeds, 1/2 a lemon (recipe for this delicious, antioxidant filled smoothie can be found in my previous post). & coffee w/ coconut milk.

What a wonderful way to start my day!

For a snack I am having green tea w/ a splash of apple cider vinegar and grapefruit.

After I finish up on the computer (which usually takes up most of my morning), I will go workout (some abs plus cardio) & then later on tonight I am going to Hot Yoga, w/ my brother who is in town!

I am revving my workouts up these next few weeks, because it is the holidays which means; A. I have more free time B. I will be eating/drinking much more calories.

[frozen mixed berries are ALWAYS in my freezer, I throw them in yogurt, smoothies, quinoa, or eat them plain! They go so well with coconut milk.]

FINALLY Frrrrriday.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful/healthy week & are ready for the weekennnd.

My brother is in the military & finally gets to come home this weekend (for the next 10 days) so I know I will be indulging a little on foods. His birthday is today, so tomorrow when he gets in we are going out to eat & have lots planned for the 10 days he is home.  I am going to try and make thee healthiest choices, still, and I can not wait to blog about it all.

LUCKILY, he is crazzzy fit and is my biggest workout inspiration.  We are going to be going to Crossfit (I have never been, but he is a hugee crossfit fan), cross country skiing, and other workout-type activities together and I can not wait.  Nothing like a little military in your life to rev up your workout! :))

What do you all have planned for the weekend?!

Quick cleansing & mini-motivations.

 

Happy Thursday!

Today I am sort of starting a cleanse, nothing intense. I just chopped up cucumbers, lemons, and limes and threw them in 3 different HUGE containers with water and am letting them sit in the fridge and then I will drink it all up and make more over the next 4 days.  Also, I am drinking 4 cups of green tea a day with a little Apple Cider Vinegar to really just flush out my system (I usually only drink about 4 cups a week).

Since I am at the new place and have a new kitchen, I want to really get into my system and kind of re-charge a little bit!

For breakfast today,

I had Quinoa w/ berries & some coconut milk.  YUMM.

Then for lunch I had Quinoa (the other 1/2 of the batch from lunch) & mixed in tons of spinach and topped with 2 eggs (extra runny).

What I am loving RIGHT now:

This nail color, perfect for this holiday season & gold jewelry! (not me pictured but I will be copying the look quite soon) :))

How do you guys quick cleanse?! or flush out your system?
