Day 3

I ended up not waking up to go to lithe this morning. I could not fall asleep last night and fell asleep around 2am. When my alarm went off at 6:30am, I was not gonna get out of bed. I’m avging about 5 hrs of sleep a night. I can’t handle it!!!!

Anyways, breakfast was a cup of oatmeal and blueberries. Lunch will be brown rice and black beans with green beans. I’m going on an 8-mile run today with some friends. Missing lithe this morning wasn’t that big of a deal I guess. Afterwards, I’m cooking dinner with a friend who’s doing the same thing as me. woohoo

Edit: 8 mile run was good!!! For dinner, we had brown rice, 3 kinds of beans, corn and a veggie burger. Yummm

Day 2

So far so good. I woke up feeling good about myself. I went to twiggy this morning, which consisted of an hour of intense jumping, squats, arm flailing cardio goodness.  It was hard waking up for it, but in the end, I know it’s good for and I will feel much better afterwards. I’m also going to an arms class tonight at Lithe. I’ve never been to this class, but I’m excited to try it out.

For breakfast, I had a cup of oatmeal and a half cup of blueberries. It was okay. I’m still trying to wean myself off my bagel and peanut butter breakfast. Just had lunch, which consisted of a cup of brown rice, tofu, and cauliflower (with some nori). I’m thinking of having brown rice and black beans with salsa for dinner.

I slept a bit better last night. I looked up some tips of following asleep. I ended up getting about 6 hours last night, instead of 5, which is an improvement.

Day 1 cont…

For dinner, I ended up having brown rice and tofu. I was pretty full after that (surprisingly), so didn’t have anything else to eat. My fridge is full of veggies (mostly frozen…its easier that way!) and I’m stocked with beans and brown rice. So far day 1 has been good. Now, I’m hoping to get a good nights sleep. 

Day 1 measuresments:

Largest part of stomach: 33.4 inches

Waist: 27.5

Hip: 34

Largest part of thigh: 22 inches

around my butt area: 39 inches

Largest part of upper arm: 12.25

Hopefully I see a difference!

Day 1

Today is Day 1 of Phase 1 of Fat Smash. I  was out of town for the weekend, so was unable to prepare food. I ended up getting a fruit salad for breakfast. Lunch is a cup of brown rice and nori with green beans. I know…this sounds a bit odd.  But, my friend and I will be going grocery shopping tonight, so we’ll have food to eat and I won’t starve!I’m also sipping on green tea. I just couldn’t give up caffeine.

In terms of exercise, I already went to high mini this morning. It was so hard to get out of bed, especially since I haven’t been able to fall asleep (the bf is out of town and it’s too lonely and quiet in my apt). Plus, I’ve been nervous about my doctors appt today. Hopefully, I will fall asleep tonight! Sleeping 5 hours a night is not fun.

My bruised foot is finally getting better, so I’m hoping to up my exercise this week. More running and more more lithing (and hopefully being more tired) and hopefully, another long run  on Sunday.

Will post measurements tonight!

Detox

I took a hiatus after I found out I figured out where I’m going to graduate school. I am back now! I’m still trying to figure out how to use wordpress and change the tagline of my blog. Oh well.

Starting Monday, my friend and I will be doing the fat smash diet.  I chose fast smash because it seems pretty straight forward and seems to go in the direction that I have always hoped to go…eating more produce and less processed foods. I will lithe as much as possible and keep training for the 10-miler that’s coming up in less than a month. I’ll chronicle everything in here. The detox phase is first and lasts 9 days.  We’ll see how it goes.

Last weekend, I ran 11 miles!!! It felt so good to run. The loop was absolutely beautiful because the sun was shining and the flowers were blooming. I was a bit on a runners high after that. I can’t wait for my next long run. It won’t be this weekend because I’ll be out of town. Last year, I hurt my knee from the 10-mile run. I think the key is to stop every couple of miles and stretch out my knee, so it doesn’t get stiff. And, as usual, I’m still addicted to lithe.

The bf is out of town for most of April, so I’m hoping this month goes by quickly. 😦 On the upside, one of my best friends just got engaged! I am so excited for her :).
