HOLY SCHEISSE! It's been a while.

So, I've been seriously neglecting my blogger duties, and I apologize for that. I've been in a bit of a rut lately, but I'm still all paleo, hahaha.

I've recently become a convert of almond milk. Sooo good. And it's doesn't make me feel sick.

I got through easter without eating any chocolates, candies, baked goods, bread. I'm proud of myself. so yeah I'm gloating. Although I wish I could say the same for my workouts.

Haven't really been ontop of those lately. I'm considering joining the YMCA, so I can use the pool daily in the morning, and use their strength training equipment. I think it would be good and more motivating than just working out at home. That or I'm gonna buy myself a dip station and a sandbag, and start doing the workouts on BodyRock TV...and get all jacked :P

I really wanna be lean, and toned, and muscular. And I can't wait to start my college program in the fall. And I've been having big dreams about the business I want to own one day.

Anyways that's it for now, I'm gonna go eat some stuff peppers! NOM!

Peace, XOXO

The At-Home-Fitness Movement

I'm sure there are plenty of you out there like me. We're people who are cheap and still want it all.

So if you're cheap you probably believe you don't have enough money to spend on the gym, like me. Then you might want to consider the at-home-fitness movement. You can find free workouts all over youtube. My favourites are Jennifer Nicole Lee and Zuzana (from BodyRock TV)

I don't necessarily follow their workouts to a T. I don't have all the equipment. What I do is choose 4-5 exercises, do 10 repetitions of each one, and keep repeating the cycle for 15 minutes.

By the time I'm done, I'm sweating and heaving. So I've called it the "Power 15" or  the "15 minute ass-whooping."

I like it. Then I go and take a shower, cause I need it. So far I've been doing it every other day. I might do it every day cause it's only 15 minutes, which isn't a huge sacrifice for me. I think you should try it too.

Some really good exercise are squats, plyometrics, explosive jumping jacks, ab bridges (I don't know what these things are called, you lie down with your legs bent and lift your hips to form a bridge...you can add flys for more of a challenge.
