and while you work on yourself...

don't forget to work for others! I'm already working on getting all my clothes I don't wear (many of which still have tags on them!) out of my closet and into the hands of someone who needs them more....just cleaned out the pantry and bought some extras for a coworker's canned food drive....and now I've stumbled upon this organization thanks to the blog http://bakeanddestroy.net/ (twitter profile: http://twitter.com/#!/bakeanddestroy ) called Grind For Life....here's the link: http://www.grindforlife.org/indexnew.asp?category=7




so I urge anyone who reads this to go donate to them or to a local organization or donate your time to a local shelter....pay it forward forever and always!

well, let's try something different....

now those that know me know that I love me some keto dieting :) it helps to keep my up and down blood sugar even and I don't feel like a crackhead wanting my crack (aka CARBS!)....but I remembered some diets from back in the day that were netting me some good results and I thought hey, why not break them out again? here's a sample for anyone else who wants to give one a whirl:

MEAL ONE:  Eat 1 serving of cream of rice with 18 blue berries or 12 raspberries added,  with  a Tbsp of glutamine and a dose of b complex and viatamin C

MEAL TWO:  Eat 3 oz of chicken with 1/2 cup black beans and 2 Tbsp of salsa

SNACK: Drink a 30 gram low carb low fat shake with  1 Tbsp of wheat germ added to it and take 1500 mcgs of B-12 and 1/2 dose of thermos

TRAIN:  do a 2.5 mile balls out run three days a week after arms, shoulders, chest.  Bike after back 40 minutes

MEAL TWO:  Eat 2 oz of chicken, 2 oz of flank steak and a small salad with additional green and yellow veggies on it.  Only on the days you lift add a 5 oz yam to this meal with a dose of B-complex and glutamine plus 1000 mgs of vitamin C

MEAL THREE:  Eat 3 oz of tuna with 10 almonds and take a Tbsp of glutamine and  1500 mcgs of B-12 and another thermo

SECOND CARDIO: On three days do an additional 40 minutes of cardio here.  Bootcamp style workout on the weekend

MEAL FOUR:  Eat 4 oz of all white meat low sodium turkey with 3/4 cup of diced green, yellow or red veggies of your choice.

MEAL FIVE:  Drink a 30 gram low carb, low fat shake

SNACK:  eat a sugar free jell-o, pocicle or pudding

meal two is the BEST! I always looked forward to it when I did this one :)

WELCOME 2011!!!!

happy new year y'all :)




so in the spirit of resolutions, here is my official list for 2011 to be completed by 12/31/11 at 11:59pm:

• finish school
• take classes at Aradia and Arrichion
• complete my trainer certification
• start my website
• let go of personal inhibitions
• weekly yoga of some form (be it classes or at home)
• get my Wii, dvr,dvd/vcr combo all plugged up with the tv....and working!
• take care of a financial issue haunting me since 07....it's a mess!
• get a damn haircut! ok maybe just a trim....but a definite color change!
• get my cross tattoo at GCI
• add a new piercing.....or ten....whatev ;)
• new photoshoots!
• TRAVEL! preferably to SanFran for a Giants game (or hell, maybe ATL-it is way closer!) or AZ for the All Star Game
• make a minimum of two donations to a charity

I do have a play it by ear list as well....I say play it by ear b/c money will really be a determining factor on most of this:

• get wrestling training-this was originally a must but that financial matter may push this one aside-we shall see
• get a second job! hahaha-I mean hey, let's try to make this all work, ok?
• go back to school-well, gotta finish degree #1 first!
• complete a 5k-still looking at one in April-it has an obstacle course :)
• get a couch-I know, right!
• do something custom to my car-what I have no idea

I may come back and add to this but I think this is pretty much it....some of them I can probably cross off this month....others will take time....but nothing worth having isn't worth working for so it will only make it sweeter :)
