I feel really motivated to get back into Ashtanga yoga again - but, I fear that without my cardio and lifting - I will gain body fat.

 

So .. . this is what I am thinking

 

AM: 45 - 60 min cardio

 

Lunch 20 - 30 min weights - one body part per day - with emphasis on core

 

PM: 60 min mysore practice with Melanie Fawer video or self led. Am going to stop in the sequence where I can't do the pose. This week I am stopping at : Trianga Mukhaikapada Paschimottanasana

Probably could go to Navasana - but, am going to stay here to try to be authentic and get the most out of practice

I have a sampler pack of many of the wholefood farmacy products.

 

I am going to mix and match them for a baby cleanse - see how long I can go on JUST these foods.

 

Will be doing the farinas (liquid cleanse meals), phi plus, soups, veggielicious, fruitalicious and corn a plenty.

 

I will log each day how much and what I consume.

 

I am doing this to prep for at least a 13 day liquithon in October.

Good God, woman, you are hard-core!

 

It's refreshing to see that "EVEN LINDSAY" has a "hilarious" food day once in a while.

 

Now, it does happen occasionally (OK...often) that I see exercises here whose names I may have heard but don't know what they are (e.g. Ashtanga--know it's a type of yoga...may look it up, but not too high on my priority list), but so far, you're the first to post exercises I had to read through slowly to be able to pronounce (and probably not correctly, at that)!

 

Do you usually work out twice a day? I know you're planning on 3x/day soon & a total of up to 2.5 hours a day! Would that be every day of the week? How will you guard against overtraining?

 

Now, the liquithon...is that essentially a liquid fast? (Sorry if this question is dumb...my exercise and nutrition knowledge is pretty mainstream.)

 

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

HA!! I had to copy and paste the name of that pose!!! I don't think I could even begin to utter it.

 

Yes - I try to move at least twice a day . . . the big workout is always in the am. I own a recording studio that has me on my boodie from 8 to 5pm . . . and I personal train clients after 5pm . . . but, I have to move during my day or I go crazy. . .

 

Don't know if the three times a day is going to fly - might just have to squeeze the weights in on the am workout - but, I really want to start focusing on the ashtanga again. It is an amazing series of yoga postures - very athletic and challenging. Whole sequence takes 90 min . . . and you sweat from head to toe. Check out ayri.com or ashtanga.com. FYI - it is the yoga madonna, gwenyth, sting and so much of Hollywood does!!

 

 

the liquithon is a liquid "fast". But, it's not really a fast as you are consuming farinas made of whole, raw food. I buy and sell products from wholefood farmacy - and the liquithon is one of their products.

I think you'd enjoy the info on their site: www.vegetabodies.wholefoodfarmacy.com - click on the liquithon and you'll see.

I'm just experiementing with the farinas and their other food products this week to see how they make me feel - I have never been able to discipline myself to a liquid cleanse before . . . This week I will be adding in other whole food farmacy foods and probably some fruit and raw veggies.

 

I have had two of the farinas so far today - the Elictrifi and the Frucitfi - both delicious - and filling!

Rethinking workout plan - will just do am workout - cardio each am and core strength body weight exercise Tues, Thurs, SAt and continue with goal to work on Ashtanga each night - Sun - Friday.

Well, very interesting. I was very bored with just drinking today- so I ate a lot of phi plus - too much at 4pm - felt a bit sluggish afterwards .. .

Don't know if I could do the full cleanse with out a partner - this is why I'm glad I gave it a trial period ... felt good though - but, I was eating solid food too.

I would have to really cut back on my workouts. . .

I didn't go food shopping this week - so I am going to do my best to scavenge for healthy meals the rest of the week.

Plan on cutting dreads off Saturday . . .

I really missed my fresh fruits and veggies the last two days.

Not happy about the vegan brat - but, it was delicious!! And - although processed, I found the nutrition to be quite good - more protein in one food than I've had lately. Yummy and filling treat.

Had no groceries in the house, so went shopping at the worst time - drenched in sweat right after yoga . . . went quick - grabbed all the fruits and veggies that I could and then the brat just called my name. Then the craut . . . I'm from Milwaukee . . . what can I say??

 

Glad to be back to my regular eating habits.

 

THink next week I will switch yoga to am.

Just wanted to let you know...when I said goodbye to my doggies yesterday as I left for work, I called the littlest one "My little bratwurst!"

 

Perhaps some unintended inspiration from you...

 

I'm sorry to hear about your knee/shin troubles. It really sucks to have to rethink whether you can train the way you want to...especially when it works well!

 

I hope we all sleep better tonight...so far, crappy sleep has been reported by you, me, my husband, and my best female friend...

Going to take a break from posting everyday . . .

 

Will be focusing on the ashtanga primary series for a while - I really want to progress in this series and weights and cardio impede my progress . . . just tightens up everything the ashtanga loosens up!!

 

It will be a bit of an experiment with my physique as well - see if I can maintain the BF I have worked hard for.

 

My food is so in line though . . . I think it will be an interesting experiment!!

 

Been doing the series 6 days a week - Sun - Fri as prescribed . . . and already have made huge progress!!

DAMN, you look different! It's hard to believe it's the same person...of course, that could be partly due to the glasses, clothes, and makeup...you went from health food store hippie chick to diva/vixen! Both are great.

 

I understand about the need to take a break from daily posting. I hope your experiment goes well.
