healthy may pt. 2

This past Wednesday I went to a wellness fair at our university's rec center! There were many booths with healthy food samples, health/wellness groups in Portland and more. I also got my BMI checked for the first time - you know, where they pinch you and measure it? ;-)

hooray!

Overall, I'm still struggling with my eating and sleeping habits. I have been eating out way too much lately (but the noodles and cocktail I had today were so delicious! sigh). Tomorrow I'm definitely going grocery shopping after lunch with my parents (happy mother's day!). 

I'll leave you with a few great blogs with healthy recipes - to inspire you and I! 

Eat Yourself Skinny

I want to try: lemony chickpea salad, baked eggs in tomato cups, broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken

Skinnytaste

I want to try: avocado egg salad, edamame fried rice, chicken and mushrooms in garlic white wine sauce

Eat Good 4 Life

I want to try: brown rice sushi salad, curried tuna with ginger and yogurt

I'll share more in the future :)

healthy may pt. 1

Hope you all are having a healthy may!

Here is my favorite water bottle - important to stay hydrated, whether you are working out or not. ;-) It's a Takeya glass water bottle with a silicone sleeve. 

Here is what my weeks generally consist of (they are all classes at the local rec center):
Monday: strength & sculpt
Tuesday: abs, buns & thighs
Wednesday: cycle (my favorite!)
Thursday: abs & arms
Friday: bootcamp

It was difficult at first, but it's key to make it a part of your daily routine. Now I'm working on fixing my diet at the same time. I've been wanting to try to the 3-day juice cleanse on The Skinny Confidential. Maybe I'll give it a shot this week? Has anyone had experience with a juice cleanse? Would you recommend it?

Healthy May

I drew these little workout girls at a coffeeshop...

I've decided to participate in Amanda's (of Here Comes the Sun blog) "Healthy May"! I will be reporting my exercise habits/goals and sharing healthy recipes. Let's go!
