First on my agenda my diet well this is where I eat things that help me get out if some poor eating cycles and get on track for training and shedding some pounds....I call it detoxing and yet that word can be such a turn off to people I find that is actually what happens. So even at the risk of turning of people I use it because it works for me:)
Detoxing looks like the body releasing toxicity in the body that have accumulated from food, alcohol, caffeine, and sweets or even over the counter/prescription medication. My biggest nemesis are Wheat & Dairy all of which I have eliminated from my diet.... and sometimes when I am having fun laughing and playing I forget the after effects and sample anyway. I am also mildly allergic to shellfish I get rashes, hives, and congestion. These foods although I do not need to be rushed to the hospital have a negative impact on my body. The symptoms range from having a cold, itching, rashes, gaining weight, constipation, bloating, and dry skin.
Why I know that these foods have such a profound impact on my body is because I have eliminated them from my diet and added them in one at a time and watched what happened. For those of you who think they have a food allergy I would try this process to determine the culprit once you have identified the source you then have power to choose whether or not to continue to eat it.
Diet Detoxing I am going to start the week off juicing and eating raw on my menu this week
Grapfruit Juice: plain squeezed 8-16 ounces per drink 2 or 3 drinks per day
Green Drink: mixture of green vegetables, lemon, lime, apple, and ginger this is an alkalanizing drink that aids in balancing your internal Ph
Cucumbers: plain, clised, in a salad, juiced, chopped you name it I eat 1-2 a day
Sprouted Hummus: garbanzo sprouted and blended with celery, carrot, onion and lemon
Water cress: I am trying this week after watching a v blog about the power it has to remove mucus and fat from the body when drank plain or added to juice
I have removed all animal products, no alcohol, caffeine, wheat, meat, or dairy. By eliminating things it gives my system a rest and the enzyme rich foods do all the work so my body gets to rest and release. Ahhhhh
Now don't misunderstand something there is a time where this process can be bumpy and challenging, craving foods is totally common and this is where mind over matter is so important. Knowing the difference between real hunger, boredom, and cravings is the key.
I will Juice and eat raw for the next week and we will see what happens....
Next is the body beginning my running program and a 4 week boot camp starting today ugh
This is the area I need the most support working out is really annoying for me there are so many other things I want to be doing with my time....like having fun or working with customers, or even relaxing you name it anything is more enjoyable. And I know the power if working out mentally the endorphine, circulation, and Breathing! filling my lungs up with air hmmm that feels invigorating and alive. So I have incorporated some fool proof ways to work out:
- work out with a friend
- set a goal like running The Broad Street Run
- Personal Training with a set time
- buy cute workout clothes that make you feel sexy
This is my progress I am going to the gym, and juicing and eating raw today feeling a little sluggish and unmotivated mostly "I don't want to" is the loudest voice inside my head. And thank goodnedd for the blog and the goals or I would be doing some other version of getting My Best Body Ever!
