Green Veggie Juice.

lifeisbetterraw:

I can’t wait to get the Greenpower Juicer 1304 so I can finally juice sprouts too. But until then our trusty Jack Lalane Juicer will have to do.

• 1 Cucumber 
• 3-4 stalks of Celery
• 1 head of baby Romaine lettuce 

it will give you about 2 cups worth of delicious and nutritious green veggie juice.

I try and have at least one of these a day.

the leftovers. I’m sure it will be even less than that when using a twin gear juicer like the Greenpower Juicer 1304.

Food Journal Day 2

Today was another meatless day!

I guess this a good thing. I’m personally not trying to go vegetarian or vegan or anything. However, I appreciate this “clean” eating thing. I feel lighter.

I started my day with oatmeal and some water. (Sounds real prison like)

Two apples for a snack.

I, THEN, had a veggie bowl from Chipotle again. THIS time, I didn’t have any rice in it. This is a big step!

I’m getting better.

Question…

What do you think is the best form of cardio? Swimming is what I’ve heard works best. What are some of your ways of getting great cardio in?

Food Journal.

I must admit, I am off to a very rocky start with eating right. I didn’t go too overboard with my meals but they weren’t that wholesome either.

Saturday:

A Kale Smoothie

Pho (Vietnamese soup. It was chicken noodle ^_^)

This is where the slippery slope started….

I went to an event where they served alcohol. I indulged…and continued to the rest of the evening.

My final meal of the night were homemade chicken soft tacos. Everything grilled, fresh, and healthy.

Sunday (today)

I started my day with water and an apple.

I had a vegetarian burrito bowl from Chipotle. Brown Rice, Black Beans, Peppers, mild salsa, corn, cheese, and guac and lettuce. It’s going to take me some time to not have rice or cheese but..baby steps XD, Baby steps…

Right now I’m eating an apple. I’ll probably have oatmeal later while I’m here at work and that will be hearty enough to get me through the evening.

Thanks for listening.

Welcome!

This is the first post of a new journey. A journey on health, fitness, and getting to happy. We all have our demons: whether it be food, alcohol, sex, drugs….we all have them. Doesn’t make us necessarily a bad person, but it is how we deal with them that makes us, defines us, and sets us up to be better people. That’s what this is about. Me being better. Hopefully I can inspire others to do the same. I’ll fill this with a daily journal of my food intake, exercise regimens, health blogs, tips, and just feel good wisdom that helps me when I’m feeling low and wanting to grab a cake. Note: I did not say just a slice. =)

It’s not going to be easy, but I have faith that this will be the best thing I could have ever done in getting and inspiring me…to be an even higher me.
