Since living in LA I’ve become obsessed with green juices and smoothies. If I’ve been eating like crap all week I’ll go get a green juice and instantly feel like I’m doing such a good thing for my body even though I know one juice doesn’t fix everything. It’s just a little bit of magic in my world.
Just a reminder, that no matter what you read on tumblr:
Losing weight is hard
Changing your lifestyle or fitness levels is hard
You will make mistakes
You will learn a lot about yourself and those around you
Its OK and normal to be scared that you will fail - lets talk about it
Its OK to be honest about your fears - lets talk about it
Don’t be afraid to change your method or direction if its not working
You don’t have to pretend your journey is easy to make your followers happy Be humble. Love yourself.
Wrong Turn
So this month has not been going as planned. I’ve been deviating from my meal plan almost every day and I’ve only exercised once.
I’ve made very half-assed attempts to motivate myself.
So today, on a random Wednesday, I decided that I have to stop making excuses.
February took a left but today I bounce back!
Every new day is a second chance so don’t waste it! Who else needs a clean slate?
Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan.
New Month, New Goals!
It seems that most people felt like January was never ending but I thought it went by crazy fast! I accomplished some goals and failed pretty epically at others. I think it was a great learning month to determine what reasonable expectations are for myself. I’m pretty excited to have a new month to set new challenges and crush new goals!
So here is my new desktop background for the month!
Thoughts on Thistle
https://www.thistle.co/how/
Thistle is a prepped meal delivery service. I was very excited to try it out because I could chose to have 6 days of vegan lunch a dinner delivered to me.
It was nice in theory but did not quite work out for me. For starters, my body does not react well to quinoa and almost every single dish had quinoa in it. There’s an option to substitute a meal that you don’t like but I did not have many quinoa free options to choose from. I would have preferred a “I’m allergic please do not put this ingredient in any of my meal” option.
As a result I feel extremely bloated and uncomfortable (even nauseous) after a week of Thistle. I choose a vegan diet because I know from experience that it helps me feel light and energized. However, by the end of this trial I was extremely groggy and I’m pretty sure I gained weight.
I do have to give them props for always delivering everything on time and in tact.
Currently researching other services to try. Unfortunately they’re all pretty expensive.
Just a thought...
In the past I have so willingly given my body, mind and soul to so many things that did not deserve me. I’ve given myself to jobs I did not like and guys who did not like me. From now on I want to make sure I spend that energy on myself because I deserve my undivided attention.

Everyday I have to remind myself that this is a journey that takes time and determination. I’ve been eating well and exercising all month but I don’t feel any different. It’s so hard to shake the desire for instant gratification but it’s only been half a month so it’s totally normal not to be an all new upgraded version of myself yet. Stick to it everyone because we deserve to be our best selves!
Wake up. Work out.
I am not at all a morning person but this week I’m forcing myself to do my workouts first thing in the morning.
What I’ve noticed is that morning workouts make me extremely exhausted during the rest of the day and also make me feel so damn hungry all day?
Do you prefer morning or evening workouts?
My favorite thing about Thistle so far are the juices. Delicious and aesthetically pleasing! 😍

Has anyone tried one?
Last year I tried Splendid Spoon because ads kept showing up in my Instagram feed. They are the people that provide soup cleanses. I saw a deal for 4 weeks of their 2.0 program and on a whim I went for it. The 2.0 program sends you 5 days of breakfast (smoothies) and lunch (soups) and a 1 day cleanse (5 soups you drink throughout the day). I liked the idea that I did not have to deal with making my lunch for work and was intrigued by the benefits of eating super healthy soups everyday. Everything they make is plant based so this was the first time I tried a (mostly) vegan diet. I LOVED it. My body was feeling good. I was losing weight even though I was hardly working out. My energy levels were up. That month proved to me that a vegan diet might be what works best for MY body.
Here is a link (with a $25 discount) if you want to give Splendid Spoon a try. Please feel free to ask me any question you have about it! https://splendidspoon.com/common/refer/dcc07278-c6bf-453e-8ee4-bf72a1fce0d6/
Tomorrow I’m giving Thistle a try because even though I loved Splendid Spoon, eating soup all day everyday can get old. How did I find Thistle? Through my Instagram ads of course! I’m starting with just one week. I ordered 6 days of lunch, dinner, and pressed juice. So I’ll post my thoughts on this next week!
Indulge with a little less guilt!

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes for when I want something sweet without going overboard. I found it because my roommate bought a costco sized box of old fashioned oats but got bored really quickly with the whole overnight oats thing. So I decided to look up recipes with oats so they wouldn’t go to waste. Now that I am trying to be more vegan I made some minor adjustments to the ingredients. I would say that the vegan version is more crumbly but still tastes the same!
I’ve been strictly vegan for a week and it’s actually been easier than I expected. My work schedule has been crazy so I have not had a lot of time to make cool recipes and properly plan all my meals out but I’ve managed to make healthy, plant based decisions on the fly and not starve myself! Keep at it everyone because you’re as strong as you will yourself to be. So keep pushing to a stronger you!
This is my go to breakfast smoothie. What’s yours?
