Hello Sun Rise!


Yes, I sometimes take photos while driving at 60+ mph.


Healthy Habits

Body Care
Oil Pulling - check!
Body Brushing - check!
Workout - check! I did Ladybug Workout Standing this morning with Margie.

I skipped the sauna today. Could not imagine getting in there when I was already sweating, but you know what... I should have done it anyway.

Nourishment
Water - check! Drank more than 2 liters today. I need more Kangen water! Planning on getting a few smaller gallon or 3 gallon sized jugs this week.
Veggies - check! 5 servings today.
Fruits - check! 3 servings today.

Besides the taco shells I ate at lunch everything else was in line with T-Tapp's God-made Man-made Dietary Guidelines. I did pretty darn good on eating clean today. Will try to move back to more of my healthy eating habits this week... and hopefully get my hands on a blender!

Supplements
Alfalfa - 1/2 a check! Need to get back into my supplement routine. Only got in 3 caps today.
Natural Calm - Raspberry Lemon - check! 1 tsp for now... working my way back up to a full serving.


Eats

Brekkie

Organic Romaine.



Yes, just romaine... munched on in the car while on the way to drop Marcel off at the airport. I am seriously (and I mean seriously) missing my Green Monsters!!! He's visiting with his sister and family in Georgia for the rest of the week. Roxy was begging - literally - for some romaine centers. She loves crunching on them. (Don't tell her, but I'm pretty sure she thinks that it's a "treat"!)

It was an early morning for me!!! I was up by 5:30am. Before the sun! Don't know how other people do that all the time. Ah-hem, Jeanne among other Daybreak Divas! I'd have to be in bed before 10pm to be able to get up this early. Although the traffic wasn't bad at all... that's a plus. AND I got to watch the sun rise... love that!

Still in need of real substance I stopped at Jamba Juice for a blended breakfast.

Bright Eyed and Blueberry 16 oz Smoothie.



Steel-cut Oats topped with Fresh Banana and Cinnamon Brown Sugar for $2 extra on Tuesdays!


Hands down this oatmeal beats the Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal!


Lunch

Marcel's leftover tacos. These things were HUGE! I stuffed some more of that organic romaine in the tacos and dipped them in guac and a little queso.




Dinner

Fried Egg (in EVOO) on 1/2 Ezekiel English Muffin with more Organic Romaine.



I spent the evening doing what I've been doing for the past two weeks -- cleaning and organizing my stuff. Stuff, Stuff, STUFF!!! It's taking over the planet. Ever see The Story of Stuff? You should check it out.

Well, it's now past 11pm and I'm hungry again... go figure. Time to drink some Natural Calm, water and get some beauty rest. Working out again (or trying to) with Margie in the morning.

Au revoir!

Feeling like a Daybreak Diva!



Sometimes I amaze myself... I'm feeling like a Daybreak Diva! (i.e. Those who wake up super early and go to the T-Tapp class that starts at 6am at Jeanne's studio. I normally can't get myself out of bed.) I got up at 6am on the dot before the sun, took the puppy out and started my T-Tapp workout! I've really been wanting to get in some floor work, so I decided on Maxi Max #1. Unfortunately, our main DVD player just broke, so I played the DVD on my laptop and linked that to the TV. It worked out great until Pretzel Twist when the DVD started skipping. I have to get a new one! I finished up the workout from memory. Might switch over to Tempo Lower Body next time.

It felt good to get my workout in early today. I've basically taken about 5 days off since my last full workout (Ladybug Standing on the 15th). The Retreat is so close and I want to be in shape! I can feel a difference in my body already, but my clothes aren't fitting that differently yet. I did sneak in measurements last Thursday the 17th (one week from last time) and lost another ½ inch off my abs (back to normal after TOM) and ½ inch off my hips!!! My goal is to lose another 3 inches off my hips and 2 off my thighs, plus tighten and tone everything even more. So far I feel tighter, a bit more toned and have lost some inches. I'm on the right track!


8:00am: 8oz Fresh Organic Beet, Carrot, Apple Juice, 2 scrambled eggs with green peppers, seriously sharp cheddar and slice of maple bacon



That's the last piece of bacon I'm going to see for a long time. AND I'm going to try really hard to stay away from those delicious cookies I baked last night.

After breakie I body brushed, showered and got ready for work... I was right on time!


Morning supplements:
Alfalfa: 3 caps
B-12: 3 sprays
Priority Women's Complete Multi: 2 caps
Pyruvyl Glycine: 4 sprays

Water: 1 liter


12:20pm: Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup (whole can minus the noodles)

After that pasta dinner last night, I'm not in the mood for more pasta. I prefer whole wheat pasta now anyway. Would be nice to make my own version of this soup with whole grains, rotisserie chicken and tons of veggies.


Afternoon supplements:
Alfalfa: 3 caps
B-12: 3 sprays
Priority Women's Complete Multi: 2 caps
Pyruvyl Glycine: 4 sprays


2:00pm: Kashi Honey Sunshine



It's like a 100-calorie snack pack, but better for you. Get your free sample here!


6:15pm: 2 cookies (yikes!)


Cookie #1


Cookie #2


7:00pm: tuna steak, pearled garlic cous cous, spinach, LaCroix Lime


Yum.


I keep feeling like I have to do something, but I don't because I did it all this morning. Amazing! Off to watch some Netflix and go to bed.
