detoxing again...

I'm trying to get back to my super healthy self and beyond.  This time I'll push harder.  I will try to detox every 3 months.  I'll eat healthy and work out 5-6 times a week.  I'll run twice a week, practive hot yoga once or twice a week, and do body works plus abs twice a week, and eat less carbs and processed food.

Day 2 of 3-day detox, so far so good.

Last day of detox. Lost 5-6 lbs!

Detox day 2. I made it to the gym early to run before my Saturday body works plus abs class. Just awesome!

new year's healthy resolutions

I'm starting the new year with healthy resolutions.  First off, it's dry January for me.  This means no alcohol for a whole month. But wait, I'm not stopping there.  I started this ban on alcohol a couple of days before the new year and will extend it till the day after Valentine's day.  Why? I'm planning to have a photo session on February 15th.  Vanity can be a good source of motivation sometimes.  Second, on this first weekend of the year, I'm doing a 3-day detox cleanse (from Dr. Oz).  I did it once last Summer and thought now was a good time to start off the new year doing something good for my body.  After the detox, I'm going to follow a high protein low carb diet while maintaining my usual calorie intake.  That is, lots of lean white meat, vegetables and fruits.  Last but not least, kicking up a notch with my exercise routines.  Sundays and Thursdays for hot yoga (power 1 at red hot yoga studios). Mondays and Saturdays for cross training (body works plus abs at LA Fitness). Wednesdays and Fridays for running (4-6 miles).  Tuesdays for a little bit of rest. Disclaimer: exercise days may vary some days but will try to stick to the schedule as much as I can.
