There are so many sources for fitness inspiration these days....

Pinterest 

All those Biggest Loser -type T.V. shows

That crazy-ripped gym buddy

The anti-food queen at work 

Or maybe even an old Jane Fonda/Richard Simmons tape you have at home

...it is so easy to get confused or feel overwhelmed. 

I consider myself a healthy person. I'm a vegetarian, I've always been into fitness & always wanted to look and feel good. BUT I do love my french fries. Obsession may be a better word to describe the love. I've posted some of my favorite recipes before and my favorite sources for yummy recipes but I'm going to switch it up a bit. 

Once every one-two weeks I am going to post what the hell I've been doing to keep track of my fitness. Maybe it will help you. Maybe it will just be a record to help me? Either way, it's happening. 

Favorite recipes, meal prepping plans, new obsessions, new Pins, exercises or fads I've tried. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This past weekend, I started a Shakeology 3-day Cleanse (Friday through Monday). Basically....

I drank a Shakeology shake in the morning for breakfast with a big glass of green tea to follow. A shake for lunch with another glass of green tea. Had a banana or a 1/2 cup of mixed fruit if I needed it for a snack (which I did). And a salad with 4 oz of protein, I had quinoa, for dinner. 

Now the good stuff: 

-I was starving; hangry the first day but it got better. 

-The shakes are yummy! The chocolate is what I had. Yum!

- It was easy to regulate the timing. 

-I didn't lose a crazy amount of weight but I do feel lighter and it totally jump started my weight loss. 

-It didn't make me poop like crazy! For any of you dieters, you know what I'm talking about!

-There is so much good-for-you ish in these shakes I can't even begin to tell you what all is there. Seriously check out the website. Your mind will be blowwwn. 

-Oh & I didn't cheat at all besides the couple shots of Jameson I had after my shift one night....What can I say, Jameo is love. 

Bottom line: I liked it so much I'm getting a 30-day supply to keep trying. If anything, I will drink it for breakfast or a when I'm starving before my night job.

So now what? Well, I've bought a 30-day supply from Nicole and am going to keep chugging along (you see what I did there). I'll keep you updated. 

As for this week, I'm working on Dr. Oz's "48-hour" cleanse which I'm turning into a full week's cleanse. You can find the link to more info HERE. And of course, I'll let you know how it goes!

Other Ish? 

Since I was cleansing, I wasn't doing any heavy exercise but that will start up again. 

    -I ride my bike to work and back every day which totals about 5 miles a day. 

    -I will post my workout routine once I get back into a routine but I did go for about a mile jog yesterday.

    -I am taking some supplements besides the Shakeology. I take GNC's Total Lean Burn 60 Dietary Supplement. Only 1/2 in the morning for some extra energy. I wouldn't recommend any pills to anyone since I'm not a doctor but I do use them. Also a multivitamin from Trader Joe's, Women's Once Daily Multivitamin & Mineral Dietary Supplement.  And if I make a fruit smoothie, I use Muscle Milk's lactose-free protein powder.

Again, hopefully this helps you. If there is something you see that you think I should try or have feedback or questions on what I have tried, let me know! I've got 6-pack dreams and I'm going to make them happen!
