Pineapple Goodness

I'm obsessed with dried pineapple...

I should probably pick the kind that's dried without sugar,

but the sweet deliciousness is so wonderful!

I need to stop.

Tough Sarah

I think Sarah Hyland is adorable&tiny

and I lovelovelove her character on Modern Family,

but I admire her even more after reading a Seventeen Magazine article

in which she confessed that she had a kidney transplant in 2012

after battling kidney dysplasia since age 9.

What an impressive girl.

Now only is she super cute&talented, but she's tough&resilient.



Clay Cleanse

So I was doing some research on this whole "eating clay" thing

and I ran across this article about Zoë Kravitz

who had to drop weight for The Road Within.

(a flick I must find&watch immediately)

The girl looks great, I'd say.

But, I don't think I'll be eating clay anytime soon.

Not that I wouldn't try it...

it just seems a bit hard to come by

and, unless I'm a super rich celebrity,

I don't know that I could trust my own clay sources.

(haha)

...it's funny:

I was actually thinking that Zoë looks really small in the Insurgent previews.

Guess, I was right.

Cafeteria Food

I will eat cafeteria food for the next 46 days.

I think the limited options will actually be helpful.

One summer in college, I worked on my university's campus

and the only thing I ate for months was cafeteria food.

In attempting to avoid the naughty options,

I was left with little else to eat than salad&eggs.

Lets hope for a repeat.

So far I've had:

Salads

Vegan Chili

Beans & Rice

Eggs

Hummus Wraps

...and I've been running.

Keepin' it up.

Gallon of Water

A coworker showed me this article about drinking a gallon of water a day

and said she was going to try it.

Drinking water is excellent and I drink at least a gallon a day at the office,

but I definitely slack on the weekends.

I should probably be more consistent.

Mixify Movement

Obviously I agree with the Mixify cause

- balance what you eat&drink&do -

but I think its kind of a wild way of putting it.

The youth of America who slam fastfood every day

will watch the commercials and think:

as long as I go for a walk, I can eat another donut!

I guess it has the right intentions

and hopefully healthy parents will teach their kids properly

but I can see it easily going in the wrong direction.

Water Diet

I haven't been grocery shopping in weeks.

Been living off egg salad and coffee w/ sugarfree creamer

...and water.

I'm trying not to buy groceries before my vacation.

And I'm not allowing myself to buy any snacks.

(saving money for this expensive&extravagant trip)

This constant hunger is hard, but good.

Luckily, the boyfriend loves to go out to eat

so I have delicious meals here&there with him.

Next Two Weeks

My half marathon is in two weeks

then I'm off on a three week vacation.

Goals to perfect myself for these events:

Eat Healthy, Drink Water, Sleep Well, Work Out.

I must cleanse myself into pure skin and thin body.

Weekly Muffins

I've been making batches of muffins every Sunday for mid-day snacks during the week.
I even made a whole batch for the boyfriend&I to nom on throughout vacation.
I use applesauce, whole wheat flower, eggwhites, and bananas
then whatever else I happen to have in the kitchen - i.e. kale&carrotjuice.
I never use recipes either, so it's always an adventure to try them.
