You know those whirlwind days where everything is just a blur and you only made it through the days because you we're simply going through the motions, well this past week has been that and a bag of rock on the side just to drag me down. This week has been something else since it's midterm week, and it just so happened that my Internet was down for the past few days so daily blogging was not an option. Besides all the hoopla going on with college right now, my diet and exercise has stayed on track and I'm still going strong. Week three of the 30 Day Challenge starts tomorrow and I am stoked! Mainly stoked because I know I'm only a couple weeks away from reaching my goal and I'll finally be able to eat what I want again. Not like I am going to go order a massive greasy burger with soda and fries, but I have been missing my oriental foods and I will make sure that fine asian cuisine is the first meal I have after the 31st. Also during the jumbled mess, that was the last four days, I ordered an actual grade A juicer and it arrived Wednesday. Let me just say that I have been juicing everything in my line of sight, I am obsessed with it and I have completely abandoned my blender. For the last four days my mid-morning and mid-day snacks have all been the juice I made that day. All the juices have tasted great and I have not experienced any hunger cravings after drinking whichever juices I made. I don't know if I could ever do a juice fast though, it seems pretty challenging to stick with just juice for 7+ days. As far as my workouts go I have been incorporating quite a bit of yoga and pilates into my normal workout routine. I can tell that my stomach and upper thighs seem to be tightening up ever since I started the classes.

Very impressive diet. Do you ever allow yourself to indulge in any alcohol? That would be something that would be the hardest for me to give up. Do you feel like there are any moderately healthy choices when it comes to drinking alcohol ??
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I do miss alcohol since I can't have any during this. Now normally I just stick to smart ways of drinking if I do drink, like mixing vodka(or any other liquor), soda water and lime/lemon. I feel like there are many ways to make healthy choices when it comes to drinking and I know quite a bit so I will certainly do a post covering all the different healthy drink recipes that I play around with. I think drinking is typical means of social interaction so don't cut it completely out of your diet just cut back a little and be smart about it, also once you start eating a very strict healthy diet you feel boozed after one drink. Just last night I had a glass of wine when we went out to dinner for my boyfriend's birthday, I made sure I ordered read wine and I stuck to only one glass. This was a healthy alternative for drinking since we were out to celebrate. Be on the look out for a post about healthy drink recipes this week.
