2011 Recap.
I’m not big on resolutions. Why wait to make your life for the better? However, monthly reflections and goal setting has been REALLY helpful in the last few months. Why not think of the year in the same way? 2011 was tough but I’m thankful I can learn from these mistakes and experiences of mine.
In January, I had just lost a bunch of weight. I was pretty smitten for a bartender....

blogilates:
In addition to my Pilates routines, I also love (well love and hate) HIIT or high intensity interval training workouts. These HIIT workouts burn fat fast and you could do more for your body in less time, meaning you’ll get cut quick! Before we get started, for those of you who don’t know, a HIIT…

Juice of the Day.
2 large celery stalks, 1/2 granny smith, 4 kale leaves, 1/2 lemon, 1/4 grapefruit, 1/2 cucumber, and a bit of ginger
I like to mix my detox agents (fresh juice) with my toxic agents (french pressed coffee) to balance things out.

Only two days of yoga down.
I’m ALREADY feeling 100% better about myself. My self confidence has sky rocketed and it’s easier to eat better and keep up the momentum.
:D
Yoga blissed out. Lack of hydration or oxygen or something, perhaps.

Waiting.
For the bank to open.
For my coffee to cool (Clover brewed so hopefully worth it?).
For yoga.
For the shoulder pain to stop.
For my eating habits to get back on track.
For the chance to go to Whole Foods.
For my dad to meet up with me.
For my mother to be reasonable.
For that special someone.

25 and fit: Key Stretches →
25andfit:
Pre-Run
Both these dynamic stretches loosen up and activate all your leg muscles—inner and outer thighs, hips, hamstrings, calves and quadriceps—through full range of motion.
Leg swings: Hold onto a sturdy object, stand on one leg and swing the other leg forward and back. Do 20. Then swing that…
Important.

Bouldering?
So, instead of a nice chill night in, I might go climbing / bouldering with my friend and stay the night at her place TONIGHT instead. I’ve never been. Should be exciting! This could be just the right nudge to get motivated again.

If I put it here, I do it.
After feeling crummy the past few days, I haven’t worked out. I was going to go to yoga today but… *shrug* I know, I know. I’m thinking of just focusing on one more day to myself and recovering (and eating right)! Today I at least have to go to the bank and hit up the grocery store because… damn. I really need to leave the apartment.
And then tomorrow, 10 AM hot power yoga...

Breakfast smoothie (green and full of protein).
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1 cup water, couple handfuls spinach, 1 tbsp. chia seeds, 1 scoop chocolate whey, 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1 tbsp. raw honey (you could use a frozen banana too / instead for sweetness)
very rough estimate: 20g protein / 10g fat / 40g carbs - 300 calories

The bright side.
I finished the last of my coffee but at least it was the Christmas blend. Apt timing. I want a new bean anyway.
I’m too poor to go boxing day shopping but it’s still a holiday SO Game of Thrones / Clash of Kings marathon. In my bed.
Most of the yoga classes today are canceled BUT tomorrow I’m going to double up and it means I don’t have to venture out into the cold, dark...

Holiday Update.
I ate light on Christmas Eve because I knew dinner would be over the top extravagant. My dad is a phenomenal cook. There was some cheesecake and Chanukah cookies involved as well.
Feel free to skip, it gets personal from here.
Christmas sunset:
My parents spoiled me with a Whole Foods gift card, a Coach purse, Vera Wang flats, and some new size 4 / S clothing. AND SO MUCH CANDY, AH, GO...

Anonymous asked: How do you not gain weight from drinking/alcohol?
Today wasn't great.
Tomorrow will be better!
Tonight was rough...
… despite what should have been a fantastic night with my family. My dad made a great meal. I ate too much sure and TRIED to let myself off the guilt hook due to the holiday and the rarity of over indulging and not fitting into a size I should have. So far, no success. Old habits die hard.
Sleep cures all.
