I’m a 24-year-old Chicago native, though I recently relocated to hot and sunny Arizona. The warmer weather offers many outdoor activities any time of the year, even hot yoga in 120 degrees! Every new week offers an opportunity to explore my new home, whether it’s swimming and tubing on the natural lazy river or hiking an unfamiliar mountain. I now realize how much the temperamental winters of Chicago have limited my fitness goals! Now that it’s beautiful everyday and I no longer have a gym membership, I’ve been doing most of my workouts at home, if not the great outdoors. I’ve also been focusing on clean eating and a healthy mind. Best of all, I do it all on a budget! Pinterest is my best friend :]
Speaking of Pinterest, that’s where I get many of my ideas, diet tips and fitness challenges! You can also follow me on my Pinterest.
I post my food and yoga pictures on my Instagram.
Yoga enthusiast. Health fiend. Practicing Buddhist. My purpose is to humbly offer the life regimen that works for me :]
= Detox Day #1:
Morning vinyasa-flow yoga with a friend.
Then Breakfast…
Two eggs over-easy in coconut-oil complimented with fresh-sliced avocado tossed in lemon juice, salt, pepper, & fresh cilantro. Easy, filling, & delicious.
I also made my nutri-bullet shake:
-1c baby spinach
-handful mixed berries (frozen)
-unsweetened almond milk
-1tsp chia seed
Dinners will be tricky considering I work at an Italian-American restaurant. Looks like my default dinner at work for the week is grilled chicken breast with sautéed veggies in olive oil. Costs me $3 with my discount! Eating earlier in the shift helps me cut back on all the munching and “taste-testing” I usually do. I also pack my own healthy snacks so I won’t be temped to cheat. Day one is always the hardest… especially when you work in the industry.
No alcohol. No sugar. No dairy. Nothing processed! Looks like I’ll be prepping and cooking a lot this week :]
