Progress- that doesn’t mean I’m where I want to be Here’s an update since I got back on track (and started drinking my detox tea in the mornings- see previous post) Some background and stats- I’m 5'2" and at my heaviest I was 145. I’ve always been athletic but didn’t have the eating habits to match. During my senior year of high school I swung the opposite way- I was done with sports but restricted my eating to 500-700 calories a day on average, and needless to say I lost a ton of weight. When I went to college I was 118, and I got down to 115 during the first few months of school. I’ve since discovered that I love being healthy and fit. During the second semester I stopped caring about food altogether and gained back every ounce that I had lost. Just after that is when the “before” photos were taken. The past year and a half had been a journey for sure, and I’ve realized that I love being healthy and fit and happy more than skinny. I weigh about 135 now, but am still much leaner than when I started this whole mess, which means at least some of the weight gain is muscle, so I’m happy. My goal weight would probably be 125 but I’m trying to focus more on how I look and feel than the number on the scale:) Anyways I’d love to hear your thoughts on my progress either in a comment, ask, or message. It’s taken a lot for me to post the photos and my story.

Vinegar detox drink

I'm sure most of you have seen the Braggs vinegar craze on Facebook, of people claiming it "blasts belly fat." If you haven't, basically people have been consuming about 2tbs of apple cider vinegar a day (Braggs is the most common brand) to lose weight in the abdominal area. On the bottle it suggests to mix the vinegar with honey and lemon juice for a detox drink. Well, I've been mixing 2tbs of the vinegar with lemon juice, skipping the honey, and drinking this detox tea every weekday morning and some weekend mornings for about a month. I may be a little less bloated though that could be due to my eating choices and efforts to cut down on dairy as well. I'm not sure about the weight loss claims being specifically linked to the drink but I'm sure it helped a little! What I've noticed more is how it's cleared my sinuses, like taking an allergy pill. It also wakes me up like tea or coffee without the caffeine, so that's a plus! I'll post some progress pictures later today, and let you decide if you think this detox drink does what it claims;)

My workouts have been slacking

I admit it, these last few weeks I haven't been able to get to the gym as much as I like. But you know what, life happens. Things around my house are crazy right now, I'm taking an accelerated summer class, and working full time while trying to pack for my family's move and for myself to go back to school. In those times it's important to make it count where you can. Making healthy eating choices and fitting in a short, at-home toning workout (even if it's just doing ten squats with your laundry basket in hand) is a success!

Delicious breakfast this Sunday morning! A kiwi, a clementine, and some cherries mixed with almond butter 302 cal

[one-fit-wolverina]

If you've never tried an acai bowl before, I highly recommend them! With a base of puréed acai berries, you can add whatever fruits, nuts, and greens to them! They're sweet and refreshing, like a superfood ice cream! This one has acai, banana, strawberry, coconut, apple juice, granola, honey, and almond butter. Approx. 600 cal

Snack time! Took a break from veggies and thoroughly enjoyed this super non-vegan snack;) That's not to say it's not healthy or delicious! We just got some "tasting cuts" of cheeses at the grocery store and ate them with salami and crackers. Cheeses are one of the things I am most drawn towards when I shop, sadly. But hey, so worth the dairy!

[one-fit-wolverina]

I know this kind of looks gross but I was so hungry I ate most of my poke bowl before I remembered to take a picture This bowl was kind of disappointing, not gonna lie. I love bowls full of ... stuff. Lots of flavors. But this one just had rice, ahi, chives, and a sriracha sauce Approx. 400 cal (this is a VERY rough estimate!)

Chicken salad with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise! This is one of my all time favorites that I ALWAYS crave. Just shred leftover chicken and mix it with Greek yogurt, then add whatever your heart desires! I make mine with cranberries, apples, almonds, and grapes, or whatever I have on hand. Approx. 375 cal

Leftovers are the easiest way to stay healthy through a busy schedule! Today I brought leftover grilled peppers and onions from kabobs and mixed them in with some random veggies laying around that had to be eaten. Great snack for work!

In honor of summer, here's a reminder to my followers (and myself!) that there is SO MUCH FRUIT in season- I love how juicy, sweet, and refreshing fruit is in the undeniable summer heat :)

Whole 30 Day 2

So in general, most of my protein comes from dairy. Greek yogurt and cheese sticks are my lifeline. Needless to say, this “no dairy” stipulation is killing me every time I go to the fridge because I automatically reach for dairy. However, I haven’t really been craving the food, just reaching for it out of habit. Other than that, I’m feeling great!
