Back in the Habit

So yesterday I made Holrich's cleanse drink and started doing shots of it again before every meal. Let me just tell you, this drink tastes like poop but it does the job. I also have been trying some new bedtime routines like shutting off all of my devices a half hour before bed and reading an actual book (not on Kindle or iBooks) before I turn off the light.

I went to CycleBar last night and I'm not sure if it was the instructor, the fact that I ate so bad the last few days,  the fact that I hadn't worked out in over a week, or that I was just tired (or a combination of all of that) but I felt almost brain dead after I was done. I'm going back tomorrow morning for the Connect class at 9:30. I'm finding if I don't go more often, I end up like I did last night!

In case you're interested, here's the recipe for Holrich's juice cleanse:

 2 grapefruits
 2 green apples
 3 tbs of apple cider vinegar (unfiltered)
2 inches chopped fresh ginger

Blend ingredients together and then drain pulp

After making the juice mix in
1 tbs of black pepper
2 tbs of turmeric
2 tsp of raw organic honey
2 tsp of cinnamon

Like I said, don't expect it to taste like unicorn farts...more like horse poop...but again, it gets the job done and at this point, y'all know I need that.

I can't say enough...

About Cycle Bar and Holrich. Seriously. I don't get to see Holrich as much as I like, but when I do, he kicks my butt. And Cycle Bar? I literally can't wait to go back every week. A student asked me what I wanted for the end of the year? I said, "A Cycle Bar gift card!" Both of these are expensive but the older I get, the more I understand that you honestly get what you pay for. I'd rather spend money on a trainer and an activity that moves me than just a gym. Just yesterday someone remarked about how I looked like I was losing weight. While I don't feel like that at all, I'm glad it was noticed.

WILL POWER (and how do I get that?!)

Ok let me just be completely honest... I have no willpower. None. I used to, but I don't know where it went. Today was our cast party for A Midsummer Night's Dream  and they had a catered BBQ dinner. Now, I know I could have watched it and eaten a piece of chicken, some green beans, veggies, and a salad. But noooo. I opted for the brisket, pork, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, green beans, cornbread, and topped it off with a Misha's cupcake. UGHHHHH. I kept saying to myself, "I worked out hard on Thursday and I'm doing Cycle Bar tomorrow." NO NO NO NO. That's NOT going to get the fat off! I have to do this balanced eating thing and it sucks because food is so good down here. Ok friends - I need prayers for WILLPOWER. Or at least confidence to rock the body I'm in right now. Sigh.

A Story of Weight Loss...and Gain...and Loss...and Gain

Since I was six years old, I've been in a love/hate relationship with food. My parents, both of whom also had their own struggles with weight, put me on a diet. I'm not sure if it was really a diet per se, but I distinctly remember in first grade that all the other kids would have Little Debbie's for snacks and I would have an apple. In high school I was a healthy size 10, but because most of my peers were in 2's or 4's or 6's, I always felt fat. I would feel guilty if I went for the dessert because I can hear my mother saying, "Do you need that?" or "A minute on the lips, forever on the hips." I have of course forgiven mom for saying that. She was only going off of what she'd been taught as a kid. And then college happened and all thoughts of weight went out the window. Not only did I gain the Freshmen Fifteen, but I doubled that and gained thirty. Throughout college I tried to get to the gym, but because I was so involved in theatre...
