Whew! It’s been a while. My life has been pretty crazy and full of unexpected and planned events since the end of last year, which put my health and fitness on the back burner. This should NEVER happen and I’m committed to doing my best to always put my well being first. How else can [...]

Week 4 Summary
November 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Fitness, Yelena
Fitness What started off as a questionable week, ended up as a huge accomplishment. I wasn’t feeling well on Tuesday and couldn’t do Day 2 – Cardio/Core workout in the morning, so I had to do it after work. That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the week, as it was just [...]

Week 3 Summary
October 31st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Fitness, Yelena
Fitness I’m halfway through the 6 week program and feeling great. This has been a week of breaking personal records and I’m really excited and extra motivated. It’s one thing when you hear people say “Stick with it, you’ll see results”, but it’s really another thing when you see and feel it yourself. I noticed [...]

The Greatest Thing I Ever Read About Coffee!
October 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Diet & Nutrition, Yelena
Evidently I’ve been sleeping under a rock, because I had no idea that not only is coffee NOT bad for you, it also may be GOOD for you. Did you know this? This whole time I thought I was doing my body harm. Not enough to stop drinking it, clearly, but I did cut down. [...]

Fitness I’ve done it again, but better! I woke up at 6AM every day to do my workouts and I’m hooked. Not only did I have a ton more energy to exercise than last week, it felt good to get it out of the way and have full evenings to myself. Finally, I was able [...]

Going Out

Winin’ and Dinin’ Drinking has never been an issue for me, since I barely do it. I enjoy it on social occasions, but the most I’ll have is a coupla mixed drinks a week. I don’t like beer or wine and I finally realized that it was the juice mixed with alcohol what made me [...]

Week 1 Summary

I Did It! I can’t believe it, but I actually completed week 1 of Zuzana’s 6 week fitness program I am currently doing. It was pretty tough, because the workouts are just brutal. I did switch the Summer Fit Circuit Workout for the 20 Minutes Boot Camp Circuit Workout (Day 5), because it was just [...]

Getting Into It I realize I’ve made it pretty clear by now, but exercising is not my forte. I hate the word “Gym” and I don’t like when people talk about going to the gym or boast about exercising. You know the folks that always try to sneak it in conversations nonchalantly. “Oh hey sorry [...]

Whole Foods Diet – What to Eat
October 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Yelena
The Menu There are plenty of sources that tell you what not to eat, which personally, I find really annoying. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what foods are detrimental to the achievement of a healthy lifestyle and it just puts such a negative spin on dieting, it’s a huge turn off. I [...]

Whole Foods Diet – The Beginning
October 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Yelena
There are two parts to altering my diet. One – to solve my overeating problem by changing my loving relationship with food into a healthy relationship with food. The other – to switch all processed and packaged foods with wholesome and organic foods that will heal my body from all the terrible things I’ve done to it by eating poorly.
