Back to Business.

As I glance over the last two weeks of posts here, I can't help but notice that I've veered a wee bit off topic. Slightly carried away with the 'quarter life crisis' theme, I somehow started to tragically neglect the healthy living thing. Not that I haven't been sticking with the cause. Yes, there have been a few lapses amidst the exam cramming and grad celebrations (how could I refuse a piece of my own grad cake?), but for the most part I've still been steering well clear of sugary, fatty foods, and trying to get in a few servings of fruits, veggies, and whole grains everyday. The gym received less love than usual over the past couple weeks, but I still went at least 2 times a week. Not bad. But now there are less than 4 weeks left in the healthy living phase, and I'm determined to finish this off as strong as I started. Which means it's time to get back to business.

I've decided to reincorporate cardio into my workout regime. Sure, lifting weights is important, but I think I got a little carried away there trying to turn myself into Rambo. As long as I'm eating well and doing some balanced exercise, things will take care of themselves, right? My first order of business is going grocery shopping, since there isn't a whole lot to work with around here at the moment. I plan on trying out these supposedly miracle spinach shakes, which I heard about through this website:

Go to the fit2fat2fit website

This guy, insane as he is, was a personal trainer with an incredible body...who decided to let himself go completely for 6 months (no exercise and eat-what-you-want diet), and then get himself back in shape, to show people how it's done and inspire his clients. He's currently just reached the end of the 'getting fat' phase and is just starting to get himself back in shape now. Guy packed on 70 pounds in 6 months. Check out the pictures.

WOW. Looks like a different person! Anyway, he advocates for having one of these spinach shakes every day, swearing it tastes good and is healthy as healthy gets. I'll give it a try. (With suspicion. Spinach in a drink just doesn't sound right.)

Until next time,
