There is strength in cute clothes
Lacking motivation to workout?
Been there! I found a fun solution to that pressing problem.
Buy some cute workout clothes!
I admit, some of my workout pants and tops, I have had for years. They are a bit faded, stretched out and dare I say, have a few holes. However, they fit (sort of), they're comfy, but not really that cute. When I pull them out of the drawer, I am not inspired or motivated to get moving. As a result, my workout motivation mirrors my gear - faded, stretched out and a little holey.
Been there! I found a fun solution to that pressing problem.

UPDATE! Eating for my blood type
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post, I'm tweaking, not twerking, about the blood type diet. As a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, we're learning about dozens of different diets and ways of eating. All very fascinating information, but the blood type diet peaked my interest. So much so, that I ordered an at home blood test kit to find out my blood type.
I discovered I am type O+ which made me happy because I liked to eat mostly all of the beneficial foods. I made a few changes to my diet, by reducing the so called "avoid" foods. Notice, I didn't say cut out completely. I followed the 90/10 rule when it came to eating for my blood type and that's perfectly ok.
So, 7 weeks later, how am I doing?

I'm tweaking, not twerking
As a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the world's largest nutrition school, I am learning about hundreds of different dietary theories. Why? Because there isn't just one diet that will help everyone, but it's important to understand how different diets can affect the body. We are encouraged to test out these theories on ourselves so when we begin to coach people we can say, "Been there, done that."
Most recently, we learned about the blood type diet, made popular by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. I had no idea what my blood type was so I ordered a home test kit for $9.95. Turns out I'm O+ like 45% of the African American population. In doing my research on this diet, I read a lot of great testimonials about the effectiveness of this lifestyle.
My test results with the at home test kit.
This of course peaked my interest.
The basis of this dietary theory is that your genetic heritage is passed on to you through your blood. Your blood gives you a nutritional blueprint for dealing with chronic health problems, increasing energy and vitality levels, slowing down the aging process and improving emotional strength among other things.
Webmd.com summarized it like this, "The right diet for your blood type comes down to lectins, food proteins each blood type digests differently D'Amado maintains. If you eat foods containing lectins incompatible with your blood type, he says, you may experience inflammation, bloating, a slower metabolism, even diseases such as cancer. The best way to avoid these effects is to eat foods meant for your blood type."
My overall daily diet is pretty darn healthy - outside of occasional slips like my wheatastic weekend. However, there is always room for improvement! I have decided to tweak my diet based on my blood type over the next 40 days to see if I notice any improvements. I'm not looking for any huge improvements because D'Amado says it can take up to a year of eating for your blood type before you see any marked changes. I have realized in my old age, that good health shows from the inside out. If my insides are improving first, that is ok with me.
Now that I have figured out I was type O, I was very interested to see if I currently consume a lot of the offender foods for my blood type.
Yep, I sure do. I don't eat a ton of terrible foods, but this is the short list of my biggest offenders:
Bacon (say it ain't so)
Dairy including cheese and eggs
Cauliflower (I started eating a lot of cauliflower because I used it as a substitute for rice)
Peanut butter
Smoked salmon (regular salmon is fine)
Grits
Avocado (no more guacamole)
White wine (red wine is acceptable)
The good news is I need to eat red meat 3-4x a week (no problem there)! Type O folks have the digestive enzymes needed to digest red meat unlike a Type A, for example. I also get to eat more salt water fish and seaweed (can we say, more sushi please)!
The type O diet isn't drastically different from the way I eat now, but the biggest challenge will be to eliminate eggs. Because I am of African descent, D'Amado says it's best to eliminate eggs and dairy altogether. If you're not of African descent, you can have limited eggs and cheese a few times each week. And let's not even talk about the bacon. I guess I'll be going back to turkey and beef bacon for the duration. *sigh*
But hey, I can do anything for 40 days!
Based on my limited research thus far, I think a few of these suggested tweeks to my diet could be beneficial. At the end of the day, I no longer subscribe to the 100% elimination rule and neither does Dr. D'Adamo. I fully subscribe to the 90/10 rule. Eat what makes sense for your body and your situation at that time. You best believe I will be eating good old fashioned cake made with pure flour, sugar, butter and eggs at my wedding!
In the meantime, I'll keep you posted on my type O diet progress.
If you know your blood type, he's a brief summary of what foods are best for you.
On a completely different note, I just wanted to share my workout results today from a good old cross training session at Unite Fitness Studios. I haven't been in a week and I sure did miss it! I feel so good when I'm done. Yay me!

I got that runner's high
Day 24!
I can't believe September is almost over and there are just 6 more days left in this month's challenge. Time flies when you're feeling healthy.
Speaking of feeling healthy, I saw this post on Facebook this morning and it reminded me that this journey to healthy is not about weight loss or fitting into a size 2. It's about being the happiest and healthiest person I can be.
Today is my "off" day from Unite Fitness. I usually decide in the morning what my workout will be. Sometimes I don't work out at all. Other days I will walk outside or on the treadmill reading a magazine (yes, I am one of those people). In the past few weeks, I've had the urge to go running. I may have mentioned this before, but I don't consider myself a runner...at least I didn't before today's run.
Let me explain.
Right after I read this post on Facebook, I saw another post from a friend at 6:15 am. She was FINISHED her early morning run (3.2 mi in 36 minutes)! Wow, this mother and wife made the time to get up and out. What's my excuse?
As I got ready to go running in the park this morning, I was overcome with gratitude that I had legs that moved and feet that carried me. I had running shoes to put on and cute workout gear to wear. I thanked God for the air that filled my lungs with each breath. This mindset made a HUGE difference in my attitude this morning.
Not only did I actually get up and out to go exercise, I ran.
And I ran.
And I kept running. For 3.89 miles.
I usually tend to walk more than I run, but today, I was working off of some other energy. Even when I stopped to walk (out of habit), I realized that my body wanted to continue to run.
So I ran. I kept running until I completed the loop at Cooper River Park in 45 minutes.
When I got back to my car, I was like wow, I feel good! Is this the runner's high that has been so elusive? If so, I liked it, and I want it again.
I imagine if I invoke a spirit of gratitude before any workout, I can expect the same high. I'm going to test my theory out tomorrow.

When I returned to my abode, I prepared the following smoothie:

Cheers!

Learning to listen
Whew! Day 18 folks and I'm still movin' and groovin'!
Right now, I am movin' and groovin' in slow motion. I had another kick arse workout this morning at Unite Fitness Studios. I was running on endorphins all morning until...3 PM.
BAM!
I felt like I just had to lay down and take a good nap. But I didn't. I had errands to run so I kept moving. I got home around 5 and I didn't stop. I still had to put my groceries away and prepare dinner and do a load of laundry.
Ironically, this morning in class, the coach told me (when I finished running suicides in the stair well of the building), that this type of intense workout would give me tons of energy this morning and I would crash around 2. I didn't believe him because I eat really well and my energy is usually sustained throughout the day.
Well, since I was out all day, lunch was just a KIND bar and some water at the hair salon. A light lunch + a kick arse workout (where I burned almost 600 calories), = an energy crash.
Not only am I pooped, muscle soreness just kicked in. I almost didn't crack open this laptop to write today's post.
I'm no physical fitness expert, but I do know that I need to let my body recover before I do another intense workout. I was planning on going for a run tomorrow and back to Unite Fitness Studios on Friday, but I think I'm going to rest tomorrow and do a light workout on Friday. Unite Fitness Studios will see me again on Monday.
Sometimes you just have to listen to your body. It knows best. I'm constantly trying to stay in tune with my body when it's time to eat. My goal is to eat when hungry and stop when full. That can pretty hard to do, but I know if I keep at it, eventually it will become second nature.
So tell me, are you in tune with your body or are you on autopilot?
FUN FOR THE DAY
Today, I had an appointment for a wash, blowout and trim at Topper's Spa with Albert. I love getting my hair done there. He gets me in and out within an hour because he works on one client at a time. I get the BEST scalp massage and I can sip on fun beverages while I'm getting my hair done. Definitely worth the extra $$ for a little pampering and a precise trim.
Plus, today the weather was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for window shopping in Rittenhouse Square. As I walked down the street, the wind was just blowing through my light and fluffy hair. Definitely the highlight of my day.
DRINK OF THE DAY
2 c organic baby spinach
1 c frozen organic blueberries
1/2 beet
1 serving Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass
1/4 c chopped walnuts and pecans
1 serving Stevia Kal
1 c unsweetened almond milk
Cheers!

Blueberry Jam! Uh huh.
Day 14 of 30!
Today is Saturday and I had a taste for a non-liquid breakfast. However, that doesn't mean I'm not drinking my nutrient blast of green goodness. I ate a breakfast sandwich - gluten free bread made with brown rice flour, 1 pasteurized egg scrambled, 2 slices of nitrate free peppered bacon AND a slice of provolone to top it off. Delicious!
After I consumed my yummy breakfast sandwich, I turned on the TV and a Nutribullet commercial was on. So today's drink was inspired by David Wolfe.

1 c organic baby spinach
1 c organic kale
1/2 organic cucumber
1/2 frozen banana
Blueberry jam (see recipe below)
A few raw pecans
1 serving Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass
1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
BLUEBERRY JAM
A friend sent me this recipe and she uses it to make blueberry pancakes. It's Saturday, and I was planning on making blueberry pancakes this morning so I prepared the jam first. Then I realized that I tossed my old griddle and never replaced it. I had the jam sitting in a bowl looking yummy so I decided to dump it into my smoothie. That was a good decision!
1 c blueberries
2 tbsp chia seeds
pinch of stevia to taste
Mash the blueberries or blend them in a food processor. Pour into a glass bowl. Add the chia seeds and stevia (or your preferred sweetener). Mix and let it set a few hours to gel.
Cheers!
ENERGY BOOST THIS AFTERNOON
I'm continuing this post from this morning. It's 3:56 PM and I just came back from running. This may not be exciting for the average person, but I am not a runner, I don't workout on the weekends AND I'm usually chillin' around this time in the afternoon.
Not today!
This is the second weekend where I took advantage of the energy boosting benefits of my green smoothies. I decided around 2 pm, I was going to go for a run! Ha! I have to laugh at myself because that sounds so healthy...so fit...so not like me!
I tried running last year using a couch to 5K app and even though I completed the 6 weeks, I never liked running. I just didn't like it. I could do it, but I never got that runner's high AND I didn't lose any weight doing it (which was my primary motivation). Go figure.
Knowing what I know now, I probably didn't lose any weight because I was so focused on losing the weight and hating running that my body was experiencing a low grade level of stress...all the time. Stress will make your body hold on to weight for dear life.
Now do you see why I'm laughing at myself because I can hardly believe I decided to get up and go running, just for the heck of it. Well I ran and it felt good. I went to the local track and did 3.1 miles using Lolo BeatBurn Treadmill/Outdoor trainer app and tracking my distance with Map My Run.
I feel GOOD (in my James Brown voice)!
Off to the shower!
Cheers!

Never throw away a banana again
Day 9 of 30
Ah...Monday morning.
Unfortunately, yesterday's energy burst didn't carry over when my alarm clock went off at 5 AM this morning. I dragged myself out of bed and for a full 45 minutes contemplated if I was going to the gym or not.
Should I go?
I can skip today.
I'll feel better if I go.
But I don't feel like it.
If I don't go, will I workout later?
Probably not.
I made the final decision to put on my gym gear, get in the car and roll out. Unite Fitness has a $10 late cancellation fee so when you cancel the day of, you get a $10 fine. That's motivation to get going, right?
Once I got going on the treadmill, I was good to go. If you're not familiar with Unite Fitness Studios, each 75 minute class - yes, 75 minutes - is the utopia of cross training. In one class you'll do 30 minutes of cardio, followed by 30 minutes of strength training and 15 minutes of yoga and stretching. These workouts kick my arse, but I love them! If you're in the Philly/South Jersey area, check out www.unitefitnessstudios.com.
After a sweatabulous workout, I was ready to pass out! I didn't drink or eat anything before I went so I wonder if that played a part in my super fatigued feeling. When I got home, I didn't really feel like drinking a green smoothie, but I thought about the energy boosting benefits of maca powder and chica seeds so I pulled out the Vitamix and got to mixing.
This is what I concocted today.
2 c organic baby spinach leaves
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 organic fuji apple
1 tsp Maca powder
1 serving Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp raw honey
1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
I probably should have doubled the chia seeds and maca powder to give myself a natural boost to get through the day!
WHY YOU SHOULD FREEZE YOUR BANANAS
Bananas are one of the cheapest fruits you can buy. Even the organic bananas are less than $1 per pound. When I go to the store, I like to buy a bunch of bananas. If they aren't ripe, I let them sit out until the skin is the perfect shade of yellow.
Once they have achieved this state of perfection, I peel them, cut them in half and put the halves in a freezer bag. Walah! When I'm ready to add a frozen banana to my drink, I grab a half from the freezer and drop it in the blender. I prefer to add frozen fruit rather than ice to make my drink cold.
Cheers!
