June

Some hot Saturday, we thought the best to avoid the heat is to go by the bay. We took a long ass walk with our straw hats after lunch and believe it or not it was nice! I felt like I was back in the 1800s-- modern style with a maxi and a woven net looking sweater but without the elegance of that time. I was in sweat, coughing up a storm, thighs rubbing on eachother telling myself why I got out when I should be recovering in bed with a bad cold. UGH! Anyway I still feel like I'm dying.

It's been awhile since I posted and I have tons of photos I want to share. I'll get them out someday, but for now good night!

RECAP

To recap on what's going on, I've been fairly consistent with this health kick I started this month. I gave myself a budget on food I call an "investment to my health" and lately I've been good at drinking these smoothies. I also threw some creativity I never thought existed. Like who knew tumeric reduces inflammation?! I didn't know what tumeric was, now I put tons of it in.

I don't always have theses smoothies for every meal, I still like to have a proper breakfast and lunch. As for dinner, I don't really eat much...as fas as I've seen. I did have a cheeseburger at some point. Anyway I'm not perfect but it's the transition I'm learning and mastering to understand my appetite. Here are a few things I've learned thus far;

1. LEMON WATER. (Limes are cool too) Drink lemon water every morning to kick off your metabolism, trust me it will clean you out when your body is ready to. What comes in must get out quickly. Drinking this in the morning will help get rid of the stuff you ate the night before, nontheless it sure does suppress an appetite. 

TIP: Add a dash of tumeric 

2. SMOOTHIE. Drink a smoothie to substitute a solid meal when you're on the go. I drink a veggie/fruit smoothie for breakfast or for lunch. Lunch is a bit challenging because as much as I would like something fast and good, no is not an option. One thing I learned is that having a smoothie for lunch doesn't get me tired and feeling grotesque coming back to work. I feel a lot more content knowing that I fed myself something that is fresh and light. 

3. WATER WATER WATER. We survived the drought so the best bet is to drink as much good water before inflation hits again. There is a difference in pH levels in water and the best you can get is nothing lower than 7. I'm too scientific on this but want to specify that there is a whole other paradigm with water just like there is with food, plastic, our salad dressing for heaven sakes! Let your tap water sit in the frig for hour to get rid of the chlorine and DRINK betch. But why? It's like washing your hands every time you stopped at John's. It's courtesy to hydrate.

Oh Say Can You See!?

Well hello! So much has gone on for the past week and yes again I'm late in the game. TBH nothing interesting went on in my personal life but to make a big welcome to our new President Donald Trump. I want to disclose that my position is kept personal whether who would have gone into office, but let me be thankful to say we have someone in the office who I can hope that will make the best judgement on behalf of our country and that he incorporates contributions from the gorgeous First Lady Melania Trump. Who else thought she looked great on Friday? Let me show you

Happy faces is what we like to see.

Fit for You

I think it's time guys. Time for me to get back on the health wagon for me and the world to see.

Lately I've been stressing so much about weight. I've been in the rabbit hole for too long, I did not realize the shit I'm eating paid interest. More so paying interest. When I was in college I had a healthy lifestyle. My best friend introduce to me to the most intense workouts where we sweat profusely our shirts were soaked in sweat. It felt so good. Nonetheless it made us feel stronger to push a second hour on the stair master, and run as much laps we could under 30 minutes. My best of friends Daly and Dylan would run (not hike) up mountains, discovering the-most-insane-mountain caves no one would ever reach! Oh how I miss those days so much. Exercising was the only escape from the stressful studying, and I cannot tell you how much we did to maintain the mindset of school and looking out for our health. It would be easy for any college student to indulge in Taco Bell during finals, In N Out twice a day, not gonna say no more.

Reading the last post I made about standards seemed I may have forgotten mine. I've paid so much attention eating garbage on indulgence and finally coming to a turning point where my health is on jeopardy. I am a processed eating junkie that cares less about health now, it's funny because I really do care about health but don't do things anymore to be healthy. At this time around I'm going to incorporate a healthy thing everyday, don't know what it will be but I'm going to do it! Eating fruit again in the morning, going on a 30 minute run outside, saying no to McDonalds. Love their ice coffee BTW. 

Reminiscing memories when in college...

New Year New You

Happy new year! It's a whole new year and it's time to set some goals. Some of you may think that making a few resolutions for the new year is such a fad and there is no point to be making lists because it's just going to be like last year. Stop being so pessimistic, and open your heart and mind to optimism. Trust me I was the perfect example of being that person. 

Anyway, that was then and this is now. Over the past few years my resolutions for each year turned out to be wish lists that sat on my bedside table for a few months and later thrown in the trash. Little did I know setting goals and being idyllic was something that didn't work. I had no plan to resolve the issues I wanted to fix. I've studied communication in school and forgot that there is a system that will not only assist in achieving goals but to live in a ritual that is based on standards. Going back remembering the best lectures in college had me thinking that who would knew that a lesson about identity would be a great lesson now. As soon as I find that quick visual lesson I will share it to you as soon as I can. Here's an intro you will maybe later figure out on your own. 

Identity: A sense of self

Standards: A sense of identity in quality

Now, for those of you who want to just have a go for it this year, understand the science behind your behaviors. I'm not going to lie but there is a lot. For now think of a value you cherish, a value that has always been in you from the day you had a thought and started to do things, and yes you were a child when it happened. Evaluate yourself in a non conceited manner and look at the standards you had then, and have now. As soon as you identify your true identity, be real with yourself and start raising your standards, if you're conservative, then you will live in a lifestyle where your conservative identity will make you live in a ritual that is based on your beliefs.

Happy new year everyone, be creative. 

I write new blog post every Monday and Friday :)
