How many Mondays

How many Mondays will pass by before I actually start! I always say "i'll start Monday". It's always Monday. Well hopefully I will be able to commit to Monday! I am super excited and pumped to start my AHB work out plan. I have been a upset with inability to keep to any commitment I make. But this time I WILL FINISH!!

AHB

So as it turns out, Im going to have to start my Action Hero Babe work out a week late. I will be starting at the same time as I start my job and school. Hopefully all goes well.

Inspiration

Rory Gilmore, you will always be my inspiration!

The Movies

Seriously why do all the girls in the movies have to perfect! I am currently watching Beauty and the Briefcase an abc family original, so its not exactly the best movie. But Hilary Duff looks gorgeous! And her character is the character that every guy loves, and the cast has so many men! men everywhere! It really does make me want me want to go to express and loft and banana republic and buy all the cute office clothes and work in an office. That would be fun. I would much rather be a secretary than a girl working retail. But I really need a job to earn back all the money that I've spent during the semester.

But why?! Curse you Hollywood for setting impossible standards!

But I seriously LOVED all the looks she wore during this film! All the different shades of red lipsticks and the nude pumps the sexy pencil skirts and flirty tops! Ugh, I feel like I am now im dire need of shopping!!! and weight loss!!

The more I look at my pictures the more weighed down I felt! I feel like I'm gaining so much excess weight and I really can't wait to get rid of it all!

All sort of new ideas

So what is awesome about fasting, is that I get to explore with foods and try new things. One thing that I love to do is definitely go to Whole Foods and just look at all the cool yummy healthy foods that they have. The latest thing that I happened upon was a brand called Good Belly. I don't have a bottle with me so I can't type all the awesome things it does. But basically it is a probiotic juice that aids in digestion and cleansing the body. It claims to have about 20million live bacteria in the bottle (or per serving?). All I know is that it is delicious and doesn't lie about helping in digestion (if you know what I mean). I've only tried one flavor, I believe it was pomegranate and cranberry, but I can't remember. But I did buy a new bottle yesterday, that was mango flavor. I have yet to try it, but Im excited. The only down side about it is that it is pricy for the amount you get. I think a serving is 1 cup and there are only 4 servings in a bottle, and it costs about $4.00. Which isn't too bad, but I could see that easily adding up, especially if you don't measure out all your servings and if you plan on drinking it once a day.

But another thing I tried at Whole Foods was the Naked Coconut water. I love coconut, but this, I didn't. I just can't even describe the taste, but it was coconutty at all. It kind of gave me tension headaches as I was drinking it. I really wanted to like it, but I just didn't. Im glad I gave it a try though.

But I thing that I really want to do is start being a guru on Youtbe. This however will take a tremendous amount of courage from me. Sine I am shy and don't want anyone I know to see these Youtube videos!! But I think I will give it a try and hopefully everything works out for the better (and then maybe Ill be allowed to be a partner and companies will send me free stuff!! haha) Anyway, Ill give it a shot. It could be a learning experience for me.

But on the topic of social sites. My boyfriend happened upon this website call Bodyspace, I think it is like Myspace, except for people who want to lose weight. It has tons of cool features, But I personally think the website is hard to navigate. Anyway, you enter in all your information like weight and measurements, your goals, and progress pictures. Then the site will come up with stats for you. You can also see other people's profiles and some people are declared "inspirational" which they really are!!. But warning, a lot of the inspirational people are like fitness competitors, so they are HUGE!! including the women! Which is cool and all. But I just want to be lean and healthy. It is a fun site. It is very different from facebook and myspace though. The friends that you have are people who just see your profile and find you inspiring or want to follow your progress. I've already had people comment on my page telling welcoming me to the site and sending luck in reaching my goals. Its really cool! So check that out if your interested in creating your own!

Gluten free

So I am reading The G free Diet. I could see this being a really good book. However, I just cannot get into it. I came into reading the book without any idea of what the book was about. I know that Elisabeth probably intended the book to be everyone and not just the people with her particular disease, however, I couldn't find sufficient reason for someone like me, who isn't allergic to gluten or has her disease to go g-free. I will say that if I do happen upon gluten free items I will pick those up over the regular stuff, but Im definitely not going to go out of my way to be completely g-free. As of right now, Im debating if I even want to go Vegan.

Well a current obsession of mine is watching Lorraine from theCurrent Boobies on Youtube. And one thing she said was "I enjoy reading diet books" but she also made the point that she doesn't always follow every single thing the books say, she just learns things from them and pick and chooses what she wants to apply. Which is what I want to do.

Skinny Bitch is such a powerful book when you read it, so I really did want to become a vegan. But I also don't want to be one of those people who are easily swayed by everything. So I looked up the pros and cons of becoming a Vegan, and of course both sides said the other side was telling lies. And of course they both have research to back themselves up. Some research says that humans do need important "animal fats" and "animal proteins" and of course vegans say that we don't. So Im confused and don't know what to believe. Obviously, I know people who have been meat eaters all their lives and are at an old age, and relatively healthy.

So I think I just want to keep everything as natural as possible, Ill deal with all that stuff later. Right now I want to rest.

BTW: Ill be taking more pictures during the day to add to my blogs, so they don't look so boring, and maybe people will actually want to read them then.

DAY 3 (21 Days)

Everything is going well so far!! I don't really want to talk about my fasting or anything, In fact I might have said too much already in my previous blogs. But I am still working out. Im said to say that i have lost my stamina. I didn't get to work out since last Tuesday because of the awful allergy season and my asthma randomly acting up agin. So I definitely want to work on getting that back. After all I do plan on running the Gate River Run next year and do the 15k or 9.something miles.

(side note: someone is rudely wacthing a video without speakers next to me in the library ]]:)

Anyway, I love running. It's hard and it takes a lot of breath, but I love it. BTW I finished my skinny "witch" book and am now reading My G-free diet. So expect a review soon!! (maybe) well expect one eventually!!!
