Protoje - 7 Year Itch Sampler

He said he was flexin’ his muscles. Haha

I wish my memories didn’t haunt me. I wish I wasn’t constantly drowning in a sea of nostalgia. Wishing I was in the past, just to feel that unstoppable glimpse of happiness. You know where in that moment you feel like nothing could ever go wrong yet you know nothing could ever feel that great. There’s so much I want and deserve in life and it’s like I can’t grasp it. It feels so far away and just going back to the past would be easier. But yet we must keep moving forward as if the hands of time would stop for us in these moments we wish to keep forever. What I want changes all the time. Right now I want to be sitting on the beach, with a light thunderstorm brewing in the distance. Wearing a light sweatshirt even though the humidity keeps you rather warm. But I want you beside me. I want to just stare at the lightning and listen to your voice. Smell the scent of your skin and the aroma of the rain in the air. I want best friends I can count on like I used to have. I want someone to go on late night adventures with and tell anything to. Fuck, I want the people I love the most to be close to me. I want to be doing something I love and not feel like I keep wasting my time despite the fact I’m young. And honestly what I want most of all is to stop feeling tired. And not the kind of tired where you could sleep for days, the kind of tired where you want so much, you’re exhausted just thinking about it. Yeah, I want to stop feeling tired.

Let me down easy

Gols de Jamaica 2x0 Guatemala - Copa Ouro 10-06-2011

Definitely when I was in Jamaica at the Grand Palladium Hotel, I felt like I was on top of the world. I mean, it was just so awesome! I had never been to a hotel before, much less a 5-star hotel, so I was tremendously satisfied and pretty much always happy. With the all-you-can-eat buffets, bars in the pool, endless sun and beautiful landscaping, you had to be insane to not enjoy yourself. Plus, I had my family with me, so it was all the more fun.

Basically, I suggest that everyone on this earth go to Jamaica and go to a 5-star hotel (preferably there) because you will be deliriously joyful. Deliriously.

Call me Stella. I got my groove back.

I literally was stunned by the realization when I made this mental connection. My life resembled a movie. I mean, I go off to this exotic place, meet this dark skinned, sexy younger guy and just like that there is a spark. He changed me a bit too lol. 

He changed me, not in this huge, dramatic way; but in the sense of letting go and being free with my feelings. Last thing I wanted was for me to get emotionally involved with anyone at the moment. Not yet. Not with so much uncertainty. Instead I found myself completely open. I was loud. I was expressive. Honestly, I have no idea what will happen next and if nothing comes of it, I’ll just swallow it up and move on, looking back occasionally with a smile.

Hair’s getting longer

I didn’t weigh in because I don’t have a scale this weekend. I didn’t keep track of my calories, but I ate healthy. I didn’t work out, but I’m happy with the fact that I’ve ate healthy for a whole three days..that usually never happens. I’m going to work out in a bit. I know there’s very few people actually reading this, but everyone reading this helps me stay motivated. And that’s the only reason I decided to put this on tumblr. Thank you (:

breakfast recipe!

• 1 whole wheat wrap
• peanut buter
• 1 apple (any flavor)
• cinnamon
• Greek Yogurt (I didn’t have Greek Yogurt this time but usually I do)

Spread peanut butter (usually about 1 tbsp.) on wrap. Slice the apple into a bout 8 slices. If it’s not a small apple, I usually only use 5 or 6 slices. Cover with a little bit of cinnamon. Microwave for 45 seconds. Serve with yogurt.

Before the Challenge Begins...

This is my first challenge program. It’s made to help create a healthy, fit lifestyle for those aiming to lose weight. There are a few preparations before it begins on Sunday, June 12. Here are some preps you need to know:

1. The challenges go week by week. Every day is something different, but there is always a basis to the reason the work outs were picked.

2. The first day the weekly challenges are on Sunday. Those are the days that are most preferred for weigh ins.

3. Along with the work out regimen, I will occasionally put in a few dieting tips. Truth is, the dieting is up to you. To find your perfect diet, use these steps:

   A. Become a member of loseit.com. This website will tell you the goal amount of calories you should eat a day to lose the weight you want. B.

   It’s preferred that you also join Dailymile.com because this keeps track of how much running is done a week. I didn’t use it as much, but then I got into it and I find it to be LOADS of fun. C. Last but not least, I’m part of my-calorie-counter.com. This website has thousands of low calorie recipes, and it’s my favourite way to keep track of calories.

4. When you have done these steps, message me your usernames so I can follow you! I want to follow anyone who is willing to work hard and be healthy.

5. Here’s one major rule: Please, try NOT to use laxatives, or force your body to do things it is not supposed to do. This is supposed to be as healthy as possible guys…

6. Say it is Monday. At night, I’d pose Tuesday’s exercises, just so everyone is kept in the same place and you have a head start of knowing what you need. Depending on the week, you may need different things. Those would also be posted the day before hand. My first posts for the challenge will be up this Saturday.

7. Here’s a bonus: Every week, I’d like it if some followers told me how much they lost, what their favourite exercises of the week were, any improvements, or anything along those lines. I want you to get into this program so you, too, are helping others. The top two or three responses will get major promos!

30-Day Paleo Challenge: Day 5

Today I discovered my green tea wasn’t exactly paleo-friendly. One of the ingredients is “natural flavors.” This sounds great, doesn’t it? Here’s a description of natural flavors from the FDA:

The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.

In laymen’s terms, this means natural flavors could be anything. Context is likely key here, meaning my green tea probably doesn’t have dairy products in it. It comes to how serious I want to be. On one side, “if you’re going to do this whole paleo thing, just do it right.” On the other, “not a big deal.”

In this specific case I say “not a big deal.”

• Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs, 3 bacon strips, blueberries, coffee
• Lunch: 1 hamburger, tomato wedges, cucumber slices, iced green tea
• Snack: deli turkey, 1 orange, almonds
• Dinner: Salmon, asparagus, watermelon, 2 lime juice/tequila drinks
• Snack: deli turkey, 1 banana
