Thanks my trainer is very proud of that pic and was quick to post it on his Facebook lol. Did good on eating aside from the piece of cake. So yay very proud of myself. Once my body is back to normal I will switch back to a single green monster a day. I can already tell that tomorrow my back will be tight and powerful feeling. Hmmm to use my stress relief body wash or my yummy lavender soap......

I swear with each green monster I drink the better I begin to feel!!! Today I added a tbsp of vitamineral green..... pure heaven! My taste buds are dancing and my tummy is singing. Yeah I am weird lol!!! I didn't go to my bakery today because I have had such a bad binge week I didn't need anything else since I am trying to clean my system up from those bad days. Making some spiced applesauce in the slow cooker. Cardamom, ginger, cloves and cinnamon best of all no sugar or sweetener added. Can't wait to smell that as it warms up. Might blend it up and strain it and drink the juice and use the pulp for oatmeal hehe

So today I will be going to a ball game that offers nothing healthy and french fries being my only option for something to munch on..... I will have to deploy operation large purse. I am thinking some dried pears, maybe run and get some gluten free graham crackers IF I can find a vegan brand, a large bottle of water, protein powder, and a clif bar if all else fails. Want to get a nice long steady cardio session in before the ball game which I am super excited about even though we don't have a winning team. I know I might run the stairs a bit while I am there cause I do get bored just sitting.


Watched a friend fight and win her first boxing match last night and needless to say after being around a BUNCH of skinny chicks in little clothing I feel super fat. Can I just say the ring girls looked like shit... toothpick arms and legs, no ass but had a lil ab definition working for them, nasty fake blonde hair and 1 acted like she needed a stripper pole.

Switched to gluten free steel cut oats. I sure hope it helps my tummy feel better.... I don't know what I will do for breakfast otherwise. Regular cereal doesn't have enough protein for my liking and usually has sugar and additives and such that I don't want.

I am not one for a quick booty call or anything but sometimes I gotta do what I gotta do!! Told my trainer I am keeping the 2 a days and he willingly agreed mostly because I am making strength gains pretty fast which he loves and I am willing to rest and give myself 1 week to break from 2 a day training.

I do feel beastly this week!!! Despite my wavers to want to slip up and binge I have stopped myself every single time! This morning a friend of mine snapped a pic of me doing rope pulls and didn't know it until she put it on Facebook lol!!!! Might need to look into something to help give me a major boost in the mornings so I can fire up my workouts more. Now that I am off Lipo6 I am not as peppy as I would like.
