Hey everyone, I know I’ve been MIA so I wanted to pop in and say hi. Still have zero appetite from the crazy psycho stomach virus from hell so I’ve only been able to eat gluten free toast, crackers, banana, tea and water. Nothing exciting or blog worthy.
I promise I’ll be back when I can start eating real food again. In the meantime, here is something that made me smile 
Hey everyone. This is gonna be a quick post of what I’ve eaten in the first half of today. I’m feeling a bit yucky right now so I’m holding off on food until after my training session. I really want to cancel my session(s) (I have a double today) but with the 24 hour cancelation policy I’d lose two sessions instead of one and I just can’t afford that. I’m gonna go and do my best.
So here is what I’ve eaten so far before my tummy started to hurt and the nausea set in 
Hey everyone! Hope you have all been well. I’m sorry my posts have been sporadic this week, I ended up getting really really busy and just haven’t had a chance to post anything. I’ve been taking pics when I can so I have a few meals to catch up on here. Nothing really new or crazy but great eats nonetheless.
I think the massage may be put on hold for now because there is still a lot that I need to get done but it’ll happen sooner or later.Hey everyone! Sorry for the brief hiatus but Thursday was a pretty uninspired day and I ended up working a wedding yesterday and was out all day until late. I’ll post a catch up post tomorrow
Last night I saw a post by a friend on Facebook asking if anyone had a camera that would take high resolution photos. I knew he was selling his car so I offered to do the shoot for him. I guess I’m just nice like that 
I knew the perfect location for it too so today after I got out of work we went and I took pics of his car for about an hour or so. I’m really happy with how they turned out and decided I’d like to share them with you!
Hey everyone! Just popping in to do a quick post before my long day because this way I’m guaranteed to post No guarantees after a 10 hour day and I have some pretty awesome meals to share so I can’t skip it! I was inspired by Ingrid who said she’d be eating three green meals today and I am curious and excited to see what three green meals look like for her. So that got me thinking, what would three green meals look like for me.
Well, here ya go!!
I woke up this morning and I was tired. Tired from being stressed, my body was sore and tired from training and most importantly, I was tired of being sad, anxious and in the middle of one massive pity party. That’s not me.
I made my breakfast and as I was sipping my smoothie I started to feel better. I decided that today is the day that things were going to get better, because I was going to make them better. And so I did.
I had wanted to start running today but while I’m feeling better than I did when I woke up, I wasn’t up for a run on the treadmill. I had temporarily decided to do yoga instead, but I really wanted to run so i busted out the rebounder and decided to do a 30 minute no impact run on there. I have recently come up with an idea to watch YouTube videos of my favorite fighter(s) to help inspire me while I do my cardio. It really works because while I find running incredibly tedious and boring, that 30 minutes flew by. I feel really good that I finally started again. I’ll probably do another 30 minutes tomorrow and then run on the treadmill for a few minutes to warm up for my training session on Thursday. I’ll take it from there.
Good meals on tap for today.
Hey everyone. Woke up very tired today and it was probably one of the first times since I started eating a high raw diet that I woke up still exhausted. My eating was a little off yesterday and it is crazy how much of a difference I can see when I fall of track a bit. I tried to fix that today.
Had my first training session in two week tonight and we made it a double. It felt good to be back, I just wish I had a little more energy. I really need to start running again. I say it almost every day. I think I need to start tomorrow.
Still feeling pretty blah. Work was quiet today and I got a lot done. I love that I have my iPhone doubles as an iPod because I was able to work to the soothing sounds of the Deftones. Which will be funny to you if you have ever heard the Deftones.
So here is what I’ve eaten so far…
Soooooo today definitely did not go as planned. First, I’m actually glad I went out last night because it lifted my spirits a little. It was nice to see my friend, we’ve been good friends since high school, went to college together and have remained close. She moved to Rhode Island a few years ago but still comes to New York once a month or once every other month and we always make sure to meet up and catch up. She definitely cheered me up so it was really nice. Oh, and I had the most Ah-MAY-ZING tea! It was labelled “raw” and I tried to ask how it was raw because it was brewed and I got no answer but it doesn’t matter. It was an orange carrot rooibos tea and it was so phenomenal I spent big bucks to get a small bag of the loose tea. Can’t wait to make it myself!
The shit storm (pardon my language…I’m actually quite a potty mouth but try to conceal it here) continued today. I was supposed to go to the wineries out east with my brother, sister in law and some friends for my sis-in-law’s bday but this morning my mom asked me to take her to the ER. She’s ok, just wanted to get checked out for something and didn’t want to wait until Tuesday to see a doctor. On the plus side, we were both stoked about her hot doctor who I nicknamed “Dr. Hottiepants.” Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to pass the time. We were the for over 3 hours (which is actually short because there was no wait to get in!). I’m glad that we went because it gave her some peace of mind and hopefully she’ll be able to rest and feel better now.
After we left I took my mom home so she could rest, picked up her prescriptions and ran some of my own errands. I finally got home around 3pm and finally had a chance to relax. Since today has been so crazy my food has been kind of blah but I’m definitely planning on getting back on track with the green smoothies and small meals every few hours tomorrow.
Hey everyone. This will probably end up being a short post because I’m feeling pretty cranky right now. I’m tired, I’ve had a rough week and my bad mood was heightened by being in the presence of someone else in a crappy mood. It’s funny, I’m usually in a pretty good mood, but when I come in the presence of this person my mood immediately changes. That’s the epitome of a toxic person.
Anyway, besides being a crankypants, the day went pretty much as expected. I woke up at the crack of dawn and did an hour of cardio. I came home, showered, made breakfast then went to work.
Hey everyone. Hope that you all had a good week. For those of you starting the weekend, lucky you! I have to work tomorrow but after that I have Sunday off which I’m looking forward to. I’m more looking forward for this week to be over. It has been really strange, something new every day. Today was no exception.
When I work alone on a Monday or Friday I keep the door to the studio locked just for a little extra safety. I let someone in and when they left they turned the lock on the door, which I didn’t see. Normally when we lock it we just push it so it unlocks when we open…when you turn the little button it stays locked…you see where I’m going with this. I went to the deli to return some papers that I had faxed for them and when I tried to open the door to the studio it was locked. I got locked out. For 45 minutes. So I had to stay 45 minutes later to make up some time. Well I didn’t have to but the whole point of adding hours was to get work done. Go figure.
I waited in the deli for my boss to let me in. I was sitting on a stool by the counter in the window when an older Italian man sat next to me and started chatting. He was very nice and owns the restaurant on the other side of the studio. We actually talked about my being vegan and he was really cool about it. So a few minutes in he started asking me about my relationship status and figured out I was single and immediately started trying to get me to go out with one of his chefs…who naturally was sitting next to him on the other side. It was very sweet but the whole set up thing makes me very uncomfortable. I’m very shy and guarded because of past experiences so being set up (especially by a stranger) is difficult for me. So the chef guy told me he’d bring me lunch and asked what time I eat lunch. So I told him I don’t do a lunch break but I leave at 3:30. Wouldn’t you know he turned up at 3:20 with lunch for me. It was incredibly sweet of him but it makes me feel even more uncomfortable. I can’t explain why because it was so nice of him, and I am appreciative of the gesture. I don’t know, maybe I feel some pressure from it now, and I don’t want any extra pressure right now?
Such a strange week! I ended off with some great meals today though.
