My "Get Healthy" Plan
Todays blog is about........drum roll please.........my health regimine!! I've always been the type that loves trying new things to keep myself healthy. I have posted a few of my favorites in some past blogs, but today Im going to show you a few things I have everyday. Here goes!.....
I will sip on some green tea after that, along with some water...gotta drink your 8 glasses a day! For lunch I usually have salad. I love salads!! Try to stay away from the creamy dressings..unless their fat-free, then they're not as bad. I usually try to stay with a balsamic or vinigarette of some type. Make your salad with spinach leaves, they are packed with nutrients and are super good for you. If you don't like that much spinach, you can make a salad with 1/2 spinach & 1/2 romaine, or whatever it is you like. I LOVE veggies, so I always pack my salads full of them! I usually will add cucumber, tomato, red onion, and bell peppers every time...if I have anything else laying around, Ill toss that in too. You need your protein so you can always add a chicken breast or light fish to your salads.
There are a few other lunches I throw together sometimes that are really fast and still very healthy. Sometimes I'll take a can of mixed beans or garbonzo beans (organic!), drain them, then toss them with a can of tuna and add some light dressing (Italian, light honey-dijon, etc.). This is super fast and you get all the good stuff you need.
If I get hungry between meals I like to snack on veggies w/hummus, Kashi TLC Bars (cherry dark chocolate is my fav), rice cakes (I like caramel), fruit with 1TBS Nutella (this stuff is SOOO addictive!!!), or some plain almonds.
When it comes to dinner, I try to make this a fairly light meal. If you eat most of your heavier foods durring the day, it gives your body more time to digest before you go to sleep. I like to just have a light salad for dinner. If Im not too hungry, I'll just have a small bowl of cereal or some fruit/veggies. I also have some tea before I go to bed.
I try to go to they gym once every day or every other day, depending on my schedule. I usually go at night, Im sooo not a morning person! lol. I do about 30 min cardio + 1hr weight machines/free weights. I have never done any classes, but plan trying some out within the next couple of weeks.
First thing in the morning I will have a cup of hot tea, Yerba Mate or Green Tea. I usually drink this right away to wake me up. A couple hours later I'll have some breakfast, if Im in a hurry I'll have a Hemp Protein Shake w/fat-free Soy or Almond milk with a 1/2 scoop of Macca Powder (amazing stuff). If its not a shake day, I'll have some granolla cereal (Cascade Farms Dark Chocolate Almond..yum!!) w/fruit & Soy milk, yogurt w/fruit, or just some plain ol' fruit! I usually have blueberries, strawberries & banana's which is my specialty!

You need your protein so you can always add a chicken breast or light fish to your salads.
If I'm not feeling like a salad that day, I'll have a wrap or sandwich. I use a low-carb whole wheat tortilla or a whole wheat/12 grain bread, add some sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers (love cucumbers on my sandwiches/wraps!), and a light dressing or mustard. Alot of meat counters at grocery stores are selling low sodium meats now. You don't want to over do the sodium in your diet, it isn't that great for you. If you add any cheese, try to buy a low-fat version. Remember, when buying any dairy/meat products, "low" anything is better. Also, try to stay away from the fatty meats, such as pork/red meats. They are harder for your body to digest and have more sodium. I always keep away from these and eat chicken, turkey or fish.

I like to just have a light salad for dinner. If Im not too hungry, I'll just have a small bowl of cereal or some fruit/veggies. I also have some tea before I go to bed. Here are a list of vitamines I take each day:
- Omega Fish Oil - 2 capsules ea. day (great for your skin & metabolism..along w/other stuff)
- Multi Vitamin - 1 ea. day
- B-Complex - 1 ea. day
For the past 2 weeks I have been getting a B12 shot at my doctors office, so I haven't been taking the B-Complex vitamin. B12 shots give you a great boost of energy that lasts through the week. They are also really great for speeding up your metabolism, lowering stress levels, getting you focused, and they make you feel just really great all around! I plan on going in once each week for about 1 month and getting a shot to boost up the B12 in my body, then slowing down to every other week. Each shot costs around $20, this is for the basic B12. You can also ask for their B12 Turbo-Slim..I believe that's what its called. This shot is around $30 and is the basic B12 + added ingredients to help boost your metabolism and burn fat. You may want to ask your doctor about these, I'm not sure of all the details.
Drinks!
- Try drinking a glass of H20 with 1/2 lemon worth of lemon juice and some Cayene pepper. (Cleans out your system & metabolism booster)
- Kombucha (Curbs appetite, boost metabolism, great for you!)
- Green Tea (Always drink at least 1 cup a day. Boost metabolism, helps fight diseases/cancers, curb appetite)
- Always drink 8 glasses of WATER!!! (flushes out your system, keeps you healthy!!)

Shall we have a cup of tea??
Oooh tea...I just love me some hot tea, or cold, doesn't really matter. For now though, I enjoy the hot stuff...since its so cold outside!! The other day I bought some tea called Yerba Mate. It is AMAZING! There are soooo many health benifits from this stuff! Plus, it is so naturally caffinated that there is no need to drink coffee! Which is already a hard task for me, I love my coffee! lol. It really does the job of waking you up and kickin you in gear!
I usually will drink about 3-5 cups of tea each day. Yerba Mate first thing in the morning, to get me up and going. Then throughout the day I alternate on green tea, yerba mate, detox tea, black tea or oolong tea, depending on what I feel like having that day. I always try to drink at least 1 green tea though, helpls your metabolism. At night I like to drink some relaxing tea's like chamomile before I hit the sack.
Since I've started drinking tea each day, Ive felt so great! My skin looks healthier, I feel more focused and energized, and I just feel better. Tea is so cheap, and it lasts a while..so its def worth the try. So go out and get yourself some tea!! ;)

What I did this weekend....
I FINALLY went to Cali and loved every second of it!!! I went to visit my BF who's interning at a hospital (miss him so much!). I went to Santa Ana which is where he is. Its so beautiful there! We went to San Capistrano beach and played in the water...where I got soaked! lol. It was really gloomy that day so I wore jeans..bad idea to try to walk in the ocean in those!! haha! After walking around in the sand we went to eat at this cute little fish restraunt on the pier where I had the best shrimp coctail ever!!!
Saturday night we went to this hole-in-the-wall country bar. It was so fun! Everyone there was dancing to the live country band...by the way Im not so good at that! Still had a blast though!!
It was so sad having to leave Cali. Wish it coulda lasted longer than it did, but I will be going back soon!

Kombucha
I absolutely LOVE this drink!! I've been drinking them for a couple months now. I found them online when I was reading a blog by Giuliana Rancic (from E! News). She is SOOO in shape and looks great! I started reading some of her blogs and she gives tips on how she stays so skinny. It's really helpful!! But anyway, she talks about these drinks, Kombucha Synergy. If you haven't tried them...DO!! They're AWESOME!!! They have a pretty harsh taste that you'll need to get used to, so if your just starting out, I'd recommend trying the Grape, Strawberry, or my fave..Passionberry. They are a little sweeter so the harsh taste isn't as bad. They make you feel great! They completely suppress your appetite. I'll drink 1 bottle throughout the day (cant really gulp these babies down) and I wont be hungry all day! No joke!! On top of that, I'll feel just all around great! It helps keep my energy going all day with NO crashes EVER!! AWESOME!!! It's also great for your skin and hair too! So, like I said, if you haven't ever tired one, I'd definitely recommend it! I usually get mine at Whole Foods or Sprouts. They cost about $4 so they can be a bit pricey, but its worth it. If you want more info check out their website:
Oh yeah, and DON'T SHAKE them!!! Learned that one the hard way!! haha! They look like they need to be shaken, but don't. I usually just kinda tilt them SLOWLY till they're mixed a little better cuz they've got raw fruit particles floating in them. I know they'll look and taste a little weird, but trust me, once you get used to that you'll love em too!! =) So drink up loves!!
