SUMMER FITNESS PROJECT

I NEED SUPPORTERS AND PEOPLE TO JOIN ME IN MY SUMMER CHALLENGE.

my goal: GET RIPPED.

This here is my friend Jillian Micheals...SUPERTRAINER on the Biggest Loser (favvvee show!). She has this DVD called 30 day Shred, which I have started to do. You do it for 30 days, and its supposed to help you lose those LAST TEN POUNDS (I don't need to lose ten pounds, so I probably won't. I just want to get toned as H*LL). Then she has a book out called Making the Cut. Its a 30 day eating and working out program, which I'm going to start doing next week.
this is the DVD:

heres just a sample of this.
After finishing this at home program I am going to invest in P90X. A family friend and my trigger point therapist (OUCH) said her friend did this and loved in, and Demi Moore and PINK do it too (or so Life and Style told me). Its pretty expensive (100$ or so for 13 DVDs. Im going to get mine on Ebay but its officially sold at beachbody.com or something like that. Anyways, whoever wants to join me in getting ripped, LET ME KNOW.

Surviving exam week(s)

FOUND MY CAMERA.

WOOHOO.
anyhow,this week is full of writing final papers and studying for final exams... Which involves alot of this (Tim Hortons XL coffee):

and these (larabars/other energy bars):



This weekend I went to the movies and saw Date Night...Ah-mazing! Loved it. It was like the Epilogue of 30 Rock and Liz Lemon finally finds herself a husband...Duder Mifflin's Regional Manager. lol, amazing.
I also went out for breakfast, and had chocolate chip pancakes (1 1/2 pancakes) and 1 egg:

I was going to do a fun post about breakfast out and refueling after a run, but I can;t find my camera sooo...I won't do it. Although In other news, I couldnt run the 5k yesterday (april 11th) because I was feeling really sore on saturday night and I really dont want my first race to be really painful, I'd rather feel like a CHAMP.

love youuz

EASY, BREEZY, HEALTHY?!

Today I'm going to shed light on how easy it is to have great, healthy, and delicious snacks ready to go on busy days. All you have to do is buy some tupperware. When you buy produce, it often goes bad before you have a chance to eat it because when you actually get hungry you grab something pre-packaged and quick. Lets face it, most of us are BUSY. So, here's the plan. Many students like me (grownups too, i suppose) waste tons of time watching videos on youtube, listening to music, or streaming shows on the internet. I suggest everyone bring their laptop into the kitchen. When you have 15 minutes free, use it to wash, cut and store your fruits and veggies for the week AND to watch that funny video everyone has been talking about. That way, you will be able to grab something super-healthy when you leave the house. You won't even be tempted by the candy bars at the pharmacy if you know you have fresh fruits or veggies in your bag. Below are some of my tupperware/ziplock bags:






And here are a few thanksgiving eats:







In other news, I GOT A 98% ON MY PHILOSOPHY FINAL!! BOOOOYA. AND i am planning, over the summer, on getting my peronal trainer certification and well as becoming a certified nutrition and wellness specialist...We'll see what happens but I am confident that by September I well be a certified health freak (except on Sunday nights...wine, cheese, baguette, ice cream...yes please!)
