New Fit Beginning

So today I had an interview for a real adult job! Haha. Any way, I thought it went well. It was more casual and laid-back, they didn’t ask me any questions expect if I want to work there. They explained more day to day things we do and about the company. Any answers I had for your typical interview questions I still worked into the interview. We also talked about non related work things as well- which I think is good. The interviewer said I was articulate and well spoken and really liked the fact I didn’t ask about money and was flexible with what I’ll be making

Hopefully I got the job. I made it seem that I really want it and motivated

Meta-D drink. Its seriously  so delicious! Oatmeal with apple and cinnamon.

Apparently brown rice and oatmeal is detox friendly.

I went to the gym. 45 minutes of strength and 40 minutes of cardio. 

For lunch I had some brown rice and black beans. 

A little high in carbs but I had a hard workout today. 

FUN fact: Diary tolerance is a human mutation meaning that at one point our bodies weren’t meant to digest dairy.

Another fun fact: One orange can wake up you up as much as a cup of coffee!

Woke up and had my meta-d drink.

Then for lunch I had quinoa with almonds with some raspberry herbal tea. 

I plan on having some fruit as a snack later on and making a salad for dinner for work.

Just as a little reminder, a detox excludes all dairy products, eggs,  soy products, coffees and teas (except green and herbal-those are great). I even found a couple of sites that mentioned to exclude oranges and corn during a detox but I don’t think I will go that far. 

I’m only doing this detox for a short period of time. 

Oh my today was a busy day.

I went to the gym with my friend and decided to sign up! I figure its a good way to get out of the house and it helps having access to heavier weights. 

I’m going to look up and make my own workouts for the gym and plan accordingly. 

I had my opening launch party for my travel agency. (FYI: If you shop on my site you earn commission back! -message me)

I also start my seven day detox tomorrow! I have all the things I need. Now I just need to be a little creative. 

was horrible. 

I had a little too much hot sauce at dinner time and my stomach hated me for the next 10 hours.  I thought I was good after the first time vomiting but it just kept happening and I started to vomit bile. It was the most painful feeling ever. This morning I had bay leaf tea (its a home remedy that my mom brought from the old country)  a banana, and boiled apple. 

I went shopping to grab a few things for my detox and there was this guy. He was cute to begin with; in his sweats and sweatshirt and beanie. Then me being me I looked at what he was buying and it was all healthy foods. Nothing like hungry man frozen dinners and pizza bagels. 

We kept looking back at each other but we didn’t say anything to each other.

It was magical. 

So I’m planning on going on a detox within the next few days. I wanted to start today and I started my research.

Always do your research before starting things like this.

As I was sipping my coffee (which you should avoid during a detox! oops) I found a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat.

I am only doing this for seven days. As I said I wanted to start today; however, I figured it was best to start Tuesday. 

Yesterday I went to the movies and ended up eating poorly. Today I started off well but then I figured I might as well enjoy these next 4 days. I’m not saying I’m going to totally eat unhealthy but a detox can be strict and. I figured I could use these next days as a gateway to the detox. 

I feel like I don’t have any friends anymore. Everyone is doing their own thing or is too busy to do anything. 

I do make the effort and I’m getting tired of being the only one that does. It just feels like I’m left out a lot too. 

Like two of my friends go to school together, and I see time to time they go to the diner afterwards. I talked about it with them and say they can include me as well ‘cause we don’t get to see each other much. And then tonight I see they’re at the diner again. 

In a lot of ways I feel like the back burner friend. I just kind of get forgotten.  A friend of mine goes skiing every other weekend and I want to start joining her so I can go snowboarding, but I hope she’ll actually include me on her weekend getaways. 

And another thing there’s so much I want to do. I’m sick of this town and sick of just doing nothing all the time. I want to do fun things. I want to go on vacations and see the world and experience new culture. 

I feel like I’m a back burner friend. A lot of times I feel like I don’t get support from my friends (not fitness related) and all I get is poor excuses. 

It just hurts ‘cause I drop everything when a friend is in need. I hear them out when they vent and support them. I don’t have a “uh huh, oh yea sure” type attitude when they vent. 

I seriously have no problem moving far away now. My friends were only thing holding me back but they can’t even make time for me yet their schedule is wide open. 

So the other day I was with a couple friends and we were talking about fitness. Friend One was saying how she can’t do push ups. I told her that she should try doing yoga push-ups ‘cause I have an easier time doing them compared to your standard push-up. Friend Two was like, “its not on your knees, is it?”

The tone which she said it in is what really pissed me off. If it was on your knees (which its not) then whats the big deal? Everyone is on a different level of fitness. And no one should be judgmental on the level of fitness someone is on. If someone does push-ups on their knees thats better than not doing them at all-not even giving an effort to do them. 

She’s just one of those people that thinks her way is better. 

And this brings me to another point. I feel like a lot of people think yoga and pliates are not a hard work-out. Some of it is light and relaxing but for a lot of poses you need a lot of strength  A lot. If its so easy and “pansy” then let me see you do THIS….

Whoa that was intense. Cassey Ho is awesome.

I didn’t really like the first video-Live while we’re are young inner thighs. You have to use a chair and the chair was really pressing against the back of my knee which really hurts. 

I really liked her beginner inner thigh one. I remember I wasn’t able to do it well over the summer but this time I actually was able to stick with it longer. 

Any who, I really recommend following her December plan. I am really wiped out. I walked down staires to get a cup of water and my legs were burning!

I am planning on doing P90X after dinner. 

After my bloglates workout, I had fresh edamame topped with a sesame vinegar. Really nice for a small snack. And if you are like me, I need something sweet after something salty. 

I made oatmeal and banana cookies which Cassey Ho ( I really like her, haha) posted a video on how to make. Really delicious and it is super healthy.
