This weekend went by so fast! I didn't work out bc I wanted to take a few days off. I measured my waist this morning and I was down 1/4 of an inch and I lost 1/2 inch on my biceps! All of my jeans are too big! I am taking progress pics this week so I guess I will see if I have made any changes.

Okay so I have missed a few days and didn't keep track. Today I ran 1.9 miles outside which is good for me because I didn't think I could do it. I have been running on the treadmill but nothing compares to running outside in this gorgeous weather! I think I went a total of 4 or 5 miles. No weights today. I think I need to eat only fruits/veggies for at least a week straight. No coffee, no almond milk nothing but good food. I can't seem to get rid of the rest of my belly fat....I am sure if I stopped eating animal crackers, etc. that would help!
1. Green smoothie
2. apple
3. Zax Salad no chicken, few fries
4. animal crackers
5. Peanut butter sandwich

hey...I haven't seen you post in a bit! If you're still visiting the forums here's a great article on Marzia Prince on why she's now 80 percent raw vegan 20 percent cooked...it basically resulted from burnout from comp diets...now she looks amazing and is a full time bikini and fitness model on a vegan diet! (her interview is on pg 32-33)
