"AIDS is transmitted by semen. Until further notice, don’t swallow semen and don’t engage..."

Couldn’t do Insanity again today. The friend who supplies my Insanity fix is off celebrating her mom’s birthday, which is okay, totally and completely okay. I’m not addicted or anything. You’d be a half-brained chipmunk with limited mental faculties to think that.

Fine. I’m kind of addicted.

It’s the sweating. I’m convinced it’s the sweating; you watch the Insanity stuff and you see all these people behind Shaun effing T just drenched and you suddenly become more envious of that than their rock hard bodies. Sweat suddenly becomes your meter for gauging how well you’re working out. If I don’t sweat enough, I honestly feel like I didn’t do my best, which motivates me to move harder the next day.

Anyway, since I couldn’t work out at all, I’ve been having a ‘blah’ kind of day. I know I could go for a run or something, but my neighborhood’s filled with other runners, plus what I like to call “Active Yard Cleaner Uppers.” These are people who constantly work on their front lawns to make sure it meets specifications only they care about. It’s not just about the yard, though. Oh no. It’s also about watching other neighbors on the sly, from the corner of their eye.

I just rhymed.

So, yeah. I feel awkward running in my neighborhood. I’m planning on doing some yoga later to make up for it.

It has come to my attention that what seems to be “common knowledge” isn’t so common after all. Especially when it comes to health and nutrition. With all the media garble telling us what to do, what to eat, and what to purchase, it’s hard to desipher the which eating habits are good or bad. Should I not eat carbs? Should I exercise every single day? Will this Bun Burner 300 really make my ass look good in only a month? Most of it is the media trying to convince you, the consumer, to do this and that so they can make money. That’s the hard truth. Sure, that granola bar sure looks tasty and nutritious, and the box even says “Low Fat”! But take a look at the nutrition label, and the facts are all there. Most everything is shoved with hidden gobs of sugar, chemicals, and all sorts terribly horrid things for your body. But didn’t that label say “Low Fat”? Doesnt that mean it’s good for me? You be the judge.

I didn’t always see things this way. I use to be “normal”. I use to never look at a food label except to look at the calories. I use to think I was eating healthy for many years, when really, I wasn’t looking at the big picture. After all this so-thought eating healthy, yet still feeling like it wasn’t working, I asked myself “what is it I’m doing wrong”. And after many tiny discoveries over the months, it hit me- I didn’t know what exactly I was putting into my mouth, and ultimately, my body. After researching, reading, and marching through grocery stores staring at food labels, I felt empowered knowing what I was eating, and what exactly my body needs to carry me on. 

That is why I am here, now, to set the facts straight. After all I’ve learned, I feel everybody should know what they need to find happiness within themselves. Everybody deserves to be happy with themselves; every day, morning, noon, and night. Your body is your shell, your home, the one thing that will stick with you- but you have to love it and take care of it for it to do the same.

Hooping; both fun & a good workout.

AIDS is transmitted by semen. Until further notice, don’t swallow semen and don’t engage in anal or oral sex without condom. I have lots of fun with the other options and you can too.

AND THE CRAZY KEEPS ON COMIN'

I have to.  There’s no way it can be accurate.  I’m hungover.  I ate at a weird time last night that I don’t know.  I am dehydrated.

I have yet to step on the scale at all…and I am semi-tempted to just put it off until next week…simply because I don’t even think I lost at all…

I have 1 week until my graduation party. 

So here’s my week plan:

  • Monday - Gym
  • Tuesday- Six Flags(a lot of walking) - NO JUNK FOOD AT ALL
  • Wednesday - Gym
  • Thursday - Gym
  • Friday - Gym

See a trend?  I am angry that I feel like I am on a plateau, and I want nothing more than to beat the hell out of it and see the scale drop.

Anger is usually a bad thing, but it’s just what I need right now to keep going and not give up.

Medical problems of 1911 are still with us
Even after 100 years of medical progress, diseases and viruses like tuberculosis and the plague still spread in many countries.

what’s there to fear about weight loss? It should be something that drives and motivates you, not makes you fearful!

However I used to have a fear of weight loss because my “friends” (really just peers) were judging me SO hard. It was weird, at first they were so proud of me for losing weight, and then when I started looking really awesome (I reached my lowest weight of 140 lbs like three weeks ago— which I have since bounced back from…) they started saying things like “YOU NEED TO EAT” .. even though I was…

They were judging me on something they knew nothing about and that really bothered me. But it doesn’t anymore, I’m doing this for myself— not for them.

Sleepiness makes fatty foods extra tempting

Exercise:

  • Bike: 1 hour. Throughout the day. I did about 15 minutes in the morning and 45 at night.
  • Chest Press: 3 sets at 37.5 lbs of 15 reps.
  • Rows: 3 sets. 2 at 50 lbs for 15 reps. 1 set of 62.5 lbs for 5 reps!
  • Stretching

Food:

  • Breakfast: Kashi go lean with a banana.
  • Lunch: Yogurtland froyo :D
  • Dinner: Stew… again.
  • Snacks: Beef jerky.

I feel like I almost didn’t eat enough calories today. It wasn’t terribly healthy :) I went realized I was pretty hungry when I went to bed but I was too tired to think much about it.

So the video said to drink lots of water before eating anything and before you start your day. 1 to 2 liters. Now I don’t know about you, but 2 liters is a looott and before I even drink that to get to breakfast it will be 3 in the afternoon.

So, I will drink a lot of water, maybe half a liter and start there, then take a vitamin or two and begin the day.

A new report published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) might make you re-think that “apple a day” — if it’s conventionally grown using pesticides.

Dirty Dozen 2011

  1. Apples
  2. Celery
  3. Strawberries
  4. Peaches
  5. Spinach
  6. Nectarines (imported)
  7. Grapes (imported)
  8. Sweet bell peppers
  9. Potatoes
  10. Blueberries (domestic)
  11. Lettuce
  12. Kale/collard greens

The “clean fifteen” are also included in the report - these are fruits and veggies with the lowest levels of pesticides so there’s no need to waste your money on organic versions. Some popular items include watermelon and avocado.

The EWG points out that if consumers simply chose their daily recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables from the least contaminated list over five from the dirty dozen, they would reduce the amount of pesticides ingested by 92% - without having to shell out extra money for organics.

Clean Fifteen 2011

1 Hour Body Pump Class

By Cari Nierenberg(MSNBC)

Feeling drowsier during the day because you didn’t catch enough ZZZs at night may make it easier for you to give in to temptation, suggests a preliminary study to be presented at the 2011 meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.

….

When you don’t get the rest you need, “you might not have the ability to say no to that extra cookie or dessert,” points out Killgore, and you’re a little more likely to take in a few extra calories a day.
