Going Strong(ish)- "they" say if you make it past day two that you've got it down. Well, I'd like to tell "them" that I miss the tasty food and it's my favorite.
I babysit on Thursdays so the Thursday routine has to be planned and things have to be in place to achieve a diet & exercise goal for the day. Wednesday night consisted of packing my gym clothes & packing & planning what food I would eat for the evening...
Then, this morning happened, I realized I forgot a tshirt to wear at the gym (and I'm not one of those chicks who just workouts in a sports bra- there goes another $10 to fitness one, thank goodness they sell tshirts) oh and that's not all I forgot, I forgot my food, dammmmmn it! Anyway, I figured out what to do....
Breakfast: Oats, Granola, Chia Seeds & a glass of soy choc. milk - look, i'm one of those people where if i like the way something tastes I can eat it for days so I am eating this until I get sick of it.
Sidenote: I'm also "that girl" who orders a bowl of oatmeal at diners who supposedly have the best breakfast food, turns out they make the best oatmeal too.
Lunch: Orange Cream Herbalife Shake & Pomegranate Tea
Snack: No snacky
Dinner: Grilled chicken breast in a salad with lettuce, tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, salt & pepper with red wine vinegar!
Exercise: 30 min morning stationary bike - next week I'll hopefully bump it up to 45 min.
Late night 3 mile run & 2 mile walk.
Notes: I think the headaches are gone, which is good news, I freakin' hate headaches. Trying to get in a full hour and a half at the gym on a Thursday is tough business, late nights aren't the fun stuff, but luckily i had the entire gym to myself. Cut my damn thumb while choppin up a cucumber, just my luck, meh!

Day 2
Cleanse continued - really exciting stuff here, i know.
Breakfast- 1 cup of gluten free steel cut oats, 1/4 gluten free all natural granola, 1 tbsp of soy milk and 2tsp of agave nectar, 8oz of Soy Choc. milk
No snack - wasn't really hungry today for a snack, this could be because I had downed a total of 4 bottles of water by this time
Lunch- Orange Cream herbalife shake along with cherry limeade & aloe herbalife tea
Snack- 1 small apple (organic/gala)
Dinner - 7 ounces of all natural chicken breast, seasoned with fresh lemon juice and crushed black pepper with a side of steamed edamame which was seasoned with sea salt.
Exercise 30 min stationary bike morning
5 mile evening run, 30 min bike and sauna for 20 min
Notes: For some crazy reason I decided to take ALL of my pills together- dumb. I got all of my detox supplements down no problem, but then I took my daily vitamins which is like 6 pills and I washed it down with the disgusting detox drops, I am not sure what kept it all in because I felt like I was going to barf. Luckily I didn't...

Cleansing Day 1
So as I said last week it's time to get serious. I decided that I am going to at least two cleanses, one this month and another next. I've had better luck with cleanses than I had originally assumed and they are pretty strict on eating clean so I figure its my best option. Today marks day one of twelve, I thought I'd try to share this "super fun" journey to make sure I'm logging all this shit.
Day 1
Breakfast: 1 cup long cut steel oats (i read somewhere these are the best type of oats to eat, so gullible me, I've been eating them), 2 tsp of chia seeds and 1 tblsp of agave nectar mixed in.
1 glass of soy chocolate milk.
I have to take a total of 8 cleanse pills and 40 drops of this disgustingly gross liquid with breakfast, I find that you have to treat it like a southern comfort shot (that's the shot that makes me want to barf) and so the choc milk drink after shuts up the nasty noise.
Snack: 1 small organic apple
Lunch: Herbalife Cherry Limeade tea & Herbalife orange cream shake
Dinner: Salad, included fresh sliced turkey,lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, salt & pepper with red wine vinegar dressing- so good, hadn't had one in a while for it to taste this good apparently haha.
Water Count: 10 bottles of water
Cardio - 30 min morning stationary bike
Evening Cardio- 7 mile run, 30 min stationary bike & 25 min sauna sesh
Sidenote: If you are interested in this cleanse, I got it from the local health food store here and it's called Wild Rose Herbal Detox . So far nothing is too extreme, if you are wondering if you feel like you are going to crap your pants, no, I don't. However, I'm not the best candidate for that question. Hey, it's all about being truthful in these health posts, and I know you were wondering. I will say that I was peeing all day though. I pee a lot throughout the day because i'm that person who actually loves water. But a part of me feels as though I did pee more than normal. I have a teeny tiny headache which is a side affect of this cleanse, but it could also be because I didn't wear my glasses today.

Malibu in the Making
Oh HI! It's been a quick minute since I've written, I KNOW! But here's the deal, I now have a phone and I'm back at work with taking notes, burning calories and logging runs. This week will mark my second official week of training for my next marathon. First week was tough, I have opted to do good this time around which means cutting out a lot of things I eat, drink and smoke for leisure. The weekend came and I failed at the drinking part on one evening and boy did my body hate me on my long run day. Under different circumstances, drinking would not have been an issue but hey, I enjoyed seeing friends and being the sober one for the most part, I let loose a little on Saturday but boy did I pay for that Sunday and Monday. Note to self: don't do that shit.
I forget that when training how hungry you become. Everything looks good, but the good thing is my body self consciously wants to eat healthy, because unhealthy means feeling sluggish and believe me, that's the absolute last feeling you want to feel when running miles upon miles.
In a nutshell, I eat 5 small meals and snacks a day. Water is my new best friend, I drink 4 liters a day. Chicken breast and peanut butter are my top two choices of proteins and I still can't get two vitamins swallowed without holding my nose and still gagging. I have given myself a bedtime and my mornings are hard because I want to stay in bed. I keep thinking how rewarding November 11th will be for me and to be honest, I can't wait, but I physically need to, because I am nowhere near where I want to be in my training just yet.

Got nailed on my first training run, boyfriend had to use the pliers to get this baby out. Almost got my blister.
Stretching is a new hobby.
The cutest tanks for the chicks running the half marathon in Malibu, KC & Paris.
Week one... wore my ass out!

... what can I say... the girls got expensive taste
- oh yeah. If i failed to mention this to you, here it is on paper (internet) I'm running a marathon November 10th, there's something I wasn't sure I'd ever say again. But hey, when you got the itch, you gotta shut it up some how.
