Weather still playing blah games but I went outside and did my walk and ran a few errands. Fighting with an earache so going to rest a bit and veg in front of the television. Had a nice talk with my friend Larissa today and I am thankful for people that keep it professional but still manage to be friends when your not doing business!

Daily Abs

STEPS SO FAR =  9,300

Mixed day. Positive mood because of reaching the first 30 days of my challenge.... completing the squat and plank portion of the challenges. I really do not notice a big difference other then more strength which i guess that is a good thing. Negative mood because its dreary outside and a I am a bit stir crazy. I am thankful for being able to get past these negative feelings and within a few hours I  can move on and be excited on some sort of a new focus. Its a coping skill... these focuses ....Challenges that are are still going on are Coconut oil , HIIT, Daily abs, Fasting and being thankful. 

FACTOID COCONUT FILES

SLOWS FINE LINES

Coconut is not just for your cooking – it's a wonderfully hydrating treat for skin too. It keeps the skin's connective tissues strong, which prevents sagging and wrinkles. Apply coconut oil directly to your skin to soften the appearance of fine lines or use it daily on your face and body for a healthy glow. Be sure you use virgin coconut oil with no additives.

SQUAT AND PLANK CHALLENGE

STEPS SO FAR =  11,387

Walk into the city today to pick up some oils.  The weather is quite pleasant for this time of year..fingers crossed it stays that way. I felt quite a bit of energy when i woke up this morning. Energy burst lasted till 1pm and then I layed down for a little. Its getting better and I feel good inside. 

CO-LO

Coconut oil is composed of a group of unique fat molecules known as medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). Although they are technically classified as saturated fats, this fat can actually protect you from getting a heart attack or suffering a stroke.

Good for stopping heartburn too!

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are foosteps on the moon.

Today I feel quite well. Cravings are at a minimum and I have no dizzy spells. I spent the day working on some music business and exchanging ideas with friends. The down time is sometimes the best time to find your next step and which direction to take it in. Positive vibes for exciting times.

I made up today for my lack of activity the last few days. Though not on purpose it did a body good.

It took my mind off of all the foods I wanted to eat and how much I missed food that i never even ate in the first place. Tomorrow should be even brighter. Fresh air rocks!

Some tips on Sugar cravings

I have a sweet tooth  and this is always hard for me.

KEEP YOURSELF DISTRACTED

What else can I do with coconut oil.......?

MAKE UP PRIMER

Take a 1/4 of a teaspoon of coconut oil and apply it to your face, then take a damp washcloth and rub in oil in a circular motion, pat face dry and apply foundation .

Challenge Day 19

BACK ON POINTE MORNING ROUTINE

SQUAT AND PLANK CHALLENGE

STEPS SO FAR = 4000

Successful start to the new year. Sticking to my plan to fast and cleanse the first 30 days of this month.

I will say 30 for now and then see if I choose to do longer. All sugars, flours, man made or man enhanced foods are out of the picture and I am drinking tea, water or fruit infused water. I am a very strong willed person but I will not try and make it sound like this is not hard in the beginning stages. 

I consider myself now a veteran of fasting but the first 3 days are pretty much killer ( ugh).  Dreaming about foods I never even had in my diet to begin with or just thinking about food none stop even though that is not a regular part of my nature. I am taking the first few days easy with physical activity so my body can a adjust to all of the changes going on again. Movies, conversations and sleep are keeping me away from plundering the fridge.  Keep on Keeping on!
