I guess I’m ready...

I’ll be picking up my 3-day cleanse today from Nekter Juice Bar. I embark on this epic journey tomorrow, on a friday because I’m lame.

the plan

How’s my diet going?

I need to work on that. BUT i’ve been doing  A LOT better than before. Sure I drink soda/ red bull and eat junk food here and there but I don’t let it happen everyday. I do opt for healthier food choices and I’ve been working out more so theres some balance going on, so I think.

Well this post is about the plan to eat healthier. First bullet point on my plan is to do a 3-day cleanse. To help detox my body and help ease myself to healthier eating. I will follow up with the 28-day FitGirl challenge meal plan. i’ve had the FitGirl challenge for about 2 years now, but i never gone through with it. SO I thought I why the fuck not and just do it. See how far I can go through with it.

the plan:

3-Day Cleanse -- Fri 7/7- Sun 7/9

28-Day FitGirl Challenge -- Mon 7/10-8/6 ( or however far I can make it)

-- more detailed posts to come --

“hello stranger [tumblr]”

It’s been awhile. It’s not like I fell off the whole get fit wagon, I’ve been keeping up with it!

I made a huge step in the get fit direction when I upgraded my gym membership to include group classes. Since then (first week of May) I’ve been going almost 3-6 times a week and the craziest thing is I sometimes go twice a day. Doing these group classes has been such a game changer. I have spent more time at the gym than ever before. I actually look forward to working out, like wtf is going on??!  It just puts me in such a positive, happier mood. Every class I’ve done I walk out drench in tears sweat and feel like I’m dying, but I still keep coming back. Sure there were days were I couldn’t go, but I tried my best to make up for it. 

The first class I tried was Belly, Butt, and Thighs bootcamp. I was so out of shape. I got through the 30-mintue class and was ready to leave. BUT something made me stay for the following class, BOSU bootcamp. Well that something was this lady who asked if this was my first time and told me to stay  for the next class because it was good.  She also recommended the classes offer the next day with the same instructor and to also try Zumba.  I laughed at the thought of doing Zumba, but I low-key wanted to check it out. SO I stuck around and did the class. I actually enjoyed it and swore I will keep coming back. I was sore af the next morning, but I pushed myself to attend the classes again. I tried a total-body workout class and an arm/ upper body workout class,  I felt glories! I experienced the aftermath when I tried walking down my stairs the next morning. I couldn't remember the last time I was that sore, but I was happy. I told myself “it’s good that I’m sore, that’s how I know it’s working.”  OH WAIT I forgot to talk about Zumba, so I tried it..wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Fast forward to now and I feel like I’ve joined a Zumba cult. I fucking love it! I make the effort to go everyday to Zumba. I try to go in the mornings, if i can’t make it I go in the evenings, and somethings when I feeling crazy I go twice in one day. I love dancing and bam thats basically what Zumba is with some fucking kicks, squats, and lunges thrown in the mix. I dance my ass off and sweat like a sinner in church every time. 

I’ve also tried other full-body classes, which I aim to do at least 1-3 times a week. In addition, I keep up with my yoga 3-4 times a week. It’s been such a rewarding feeling when I accomplish a workout session. I see and feel the progress. I should have upgraded my gym membership sooner!

UGH

[funkifit-blog]

I’m allergic to intense workouts.. no but seriously I almost always breakout in hives when I workout intensely. I don’t know why. It makes working out difficult sometimes. Not only do I get red bumps/ hives I also get itchy and feel very hot. Sometimes I get light headed and other times I feel like I want to throw up. I try not to overdo it at the gym. When I start to feel this way I stop, drink lots of water, and I go to the bathroom splash water on my face, back of my neck and forearms. I have always joked around about being allergic to working out but it sucks when my body gets like this. I’ve come to the conclusion that my body reacts this way when I put stress on my body and when I make a drastic change in temperature (going from AC building out to the heat outside or when it’s really cold out and I go into a heated place). It sucks that haven’t found out what actually causes and how to prevent it. But it’s whatever, I deal with it and I mange.

I have been attending yoga sessions since November & as of January I try to go 4x a week. In the course of these past few months I've falling in love with yoga. I love showing up to class every day, challenging my body & seeing my progress. I leave class every morning feeling empowered, happy af, & proud of myself. I am able to do things that I wasn't able to do in the beginning. I love what yoga is doing for me. My body feels great, my lower back doesn't ache & my "bad" knee doesn't bother me anymore. I also love practicing at home on the days I don't go to yoga. I love unwinding with yoga before bed, helps me sleep better. I look forward to seeing where I am in the following months, namaste bitches 🙏🏻

one month down (Jan)

I weighed myself on 12.31.16, although the number on the scale wasn’t my heaviest, I never wanted to see that number ever again. Since then I’ve been changing the way I eat. I eat smaller portions. I don’t eat fast food (as much as I was before). I cut out soda and Red Bull, I haven’t had a breakdown yet. I’ve also been exercising more (not every day). I also joined yoga. Well I’ve been doing it since Nov (thank you groupon). Day 1 of yoga, I saw how much it was to join for the year and I laughed to myself. I told myself I’ll just do the groupon, pretend that I’ll signup after it was over and never ever come back. But by my last class I ended up loving the class and the instructor is quite the badass, has a dark sense of humor as well. She worked her magic to persuade my decision to join. I’m broke but I’m more flexible 💃🏻 With all of these changes this past month, I have lost almost 7lbs (6.6lb). I’m down to a weight where I haven’t seen in awhile. I can see the results in my midsection. I don’t look as bloated and my pant (leggings, low key basic) fit better. 👇🏼 exactly

Let's see how the next month plays out 💩💪🏻

I survived my 1st "Meatless Monday"

Ok I’m being a bit dramatic. I’ve done the whole no meat on Fridays during lent, so this was pretty easy.

I set out a plan of participating in meatless Mondays as a way to start eating less meat. I recently watched the documentary “Vegucated,” (on Netflix) well I didn’t finish it. I plan to finish it one day, but for now I'm good. The reason I stopped watching was due to the traumatizing video clips of how animals are treated in slaughter-homes. I was aware but I’ve never watched actual footage of how horrible animals are truly treated. I cried, I balled my eyes out. I was traumatized. I didn't eat meat the next day. I was so upset, it's so fucked up. I eventually ate meat without thinking and that's pretty fucked up too. I guess I wasn't as traumatized enough to go vegan then and there, but I can only imagine if I were high and watched this film, best believe I would be vegan right now. Being fully-vegetarian is a huge step but I don’t think I can fully commit right now let alone be vegan (cheese is life). So I will slowly start eating less meat and more vegetarian and vegan options in the meantime. Baby steps.

A little bit about Meatless Mondays: • improves your health •helps the environment • helps save animals •reduces your carbon footprint. Etc. if you want full details, google will help.

welcome...

hello & welcome to whomever is reading this. Oh, I used ‘whomever..’ 

I had to, sorry not sorry...Welcome!! I’m Eve and this is my pornhub err I mean tumblr page. This is my second account, my first is somewhere on here, it’s an ancient account, filled with depressing quotes about love&life, random shit, lana del rey reblogs, and more funny random shit.  I created it when tumblr first came out,  (will post a link so we can judge together). Well many moons later and here I am, trying this adult thing called “being healthy and fit.” That’s where this account comes into play. I’ll be posting/ documenting my suffrage, journey of suffering (suffrage means right to vote. Not a word to describe a journey of suffering, look it up if you don’t believe me). SO this account is dedicated to my journey of getting healthier, fit, and losing weight or draft my post-aggressive yelp reviews (I’m totally joking, who tf does that??)

 About me: I’m a recovering McDonald’s Chicken Nugget addict, I also couldn’t get through a day without Coke, the cola kind, or Red Bull (disclaimer: I didn’t received any product for free to provide an honest review, and I’m low key sad about that, *cough* amazon). These past few years, my diet has become so unhealthy, I also don’t exercise as much as I used and because of this I’ve become an unfit potato (f a t). I have tried to get back to my smallest weight, but it has been such a failure. I always give up or find some stupid excuse to go back to unhealthy ways. I don’t want to develop any health issues brought on by my weight gain and an unhealthy rockstar lifestyle. BUT this time it needs to stop, I need to change, I can’t be doing this anymore. I am accountable for where I am today and I need to be accountable in order to achieve my goals of becoming fit and healthy. This account serves as a way for me to be accountable and I intend on using it. So follow me through my glorious transition, from fat potato to douchebag muscle-head a healthier more fit me.
