An apple a day..

Hi Bloggers!

I miss yewww!  Summer school really kicked my booty..

SO!  Lets chat!  My soccer team tied our game yesterday (I'll take it)

I made my first pastel piece of art! Nick is really into pastels so I dabbled a little.. 

I registered for the CNA program (yay!)

Annddd I am running a 10k Saturday and Nick his Dad!  I will literally do WHATEVER it take to finish before them!  Seriously going to be throwing bo's Saturday so WATCH OUT! 

Here's my little tidbit of information for the day... 

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Remember that little trick your brother used to play on you.. hold your tongue and say Apple!  

Got Ya! 

NO seriously.. Did you know... 

The skin of an apple contains Pectin, which lowers blood pressure. 

Filled with fiber, apples are very filling.

Apples reduce the risk of several types of cancer by over 40% including breast, colon, liver, and lung.

Chewing apples lowers tooth decay.

Apple juice reduces the effects of aging on the brain; preventing alzheimer's.

Eating apples helps with diarrhea and constipation.

Apples boost your immune system.

 

Other than eatting an apple with peanut butter, I also enjoy them in a smoothie!

I am not a fan of warm fruit.. so this is the closest I get to Apple Pie..

1 Scoop Vanilla Protien

Combine in blender and enjoy! 

Juice Detox

My birthday is just around the corner!  We have a beautiful tree house in Seguin and I am ready to party like its 1999!  I've decided to add an extra run this week.  I've also decided to start a juice detox!  We bought a nice juicer and I love it!  I'm going to juice 5 times a day (and hopefully not break down to eat).  Who wants to do the challenge with me?  I'm going for 5 days.. well at least 5 days.  I may decide to let it roll til my birthday!  Here is my plan.  Found it on:   http://gliving.com/the-rawreform-5-day-juice-plan-for-detox-and-weight-loss/

The 5-Day Plan

I recommend that you begin this cleanse on a weekend, as that will likely make it easier to get started in comfort..  I'm a rebel and I'm starting now!  

Working Days:
On the weekdays, follow this simple plan for success:
Squeeze fresh citrus juice in the morning to drink before leaving and make 2 litres of juice to take with you for the daytime. Buy fresh bottled juice at lunch. Then make juice again when you are home in the evening. This reduces your juicing to two kitchen sessions – once in the morning and once in the evening.

Monday:
500ml orange/grapefruit juice
1 litre kale/celery/apple
1 litre watermelon juice
1 litre kale/celery/apple
500ml carrot/spinach

Tuesday:
500ml orange/grapefruit juice
1 litre celery/pineapple/red bell pepper
1 litre carrot/apple/ginger/lemon
1 litre celery/pineapple/red bell pepper
500ml tomato/basil juice

Wednesday:
Breakfast: 500ml orange/grapefruit juice
Mid-morning: 1 litre apple/beetroot/ginger/celery/greens
Lunchtime: 500ml orange juice
Afternoon: 1 litre apple/beetroot/ginger/celery/greens
Evening: 1 litre tomato/basil juice

Thursday:

"Touch" Rugby

HI Bloggers!!  I tried something new this week!  Tuesday night I went out for a touch rugby game!  My boyfriend plays, so I finally decided to join him on the field..  I was really nervous at first.  I love trying new things, but I had NO CLUE what rugby was (I was actually under the impression it was touch football).  I will say that it was a blast!  I loved it!  The first 30 minutes were a bit rough.. I got hit in the face and I fell a few times, but I liked it!  The boys even gave me a group hug... yay...  My thighs are still aching today.. but I like that too :).  Try it out!  I would say its a mix between soccer and football.. It really helped my honey and I bond a little too!  I also want to add I didn't get a break either.. cause I'm bad ass like that lol.  Still running 3 days a week!  Planning a 5 miler tomorrow over the Kemah bridge!  I'll snap a few pics for my next entry.  Hope you guys had a wonderful week and have big plans for the weekend!!
