Eating Clean

Dear World,
I am now fully stocked on everything I need to eat clean.
I bought bell peppers, cucumbers, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, celery, carrots, bananas, apples, boneless skinless chicken breast, salmon, raspberry herbal tea, avocado, mango, grapes and an assortment of frozen berries.

Rowyn being all cute in the shopping cart:]

yeah...you can't really tell what anything is besides my husband's crap. lol

And for your viewing pleasure...

Rowyn with daddy's sock on her head. She looks like a little bull fighter.

Ramblings of procrastination.

Dear World,
Do you know what bugs the crap out of me? When people do not understand the concept of homonyms.
It makes my eyes bleed when I see some one write "to" when they mean to write "too" and I am ready to sock some one when they use the word "two" when they are not talking about the number.
Let's go over it, shall we?

To-toward
Too-Also

Poor-Not rich
Pour-To make flow
Pore-on your face

Affect-Change
Effect-result or consequence

Aunt-Your mother or father's sister
Ant-A bug

Bye-Goodbye
Buy-To purchase
By-Beside


Knew-Did know
New-Not old

There-Talking about a place
Their-Talking about some one's belonging
They're- They are

In other news:
I'm starting the Eat Clean diet. I've been inspired by Jess and her amazing weigh loss. (Seriously, she looks freaking HOT! I say that in the least creepy way possible because I do not like girls that way.)
Starting Tomorrow night (because I have to wait for Brennan to come home from work to go shopping so during the day I'll be living off of left of spaghetti and papa johns pizza) I will be eating clean.
I WILL NOT BE A LARD ANY LONGER!

Goodbye, dear old friend. (BTW jalapeno pizza is THE BEST!)

Sincerely,

Lea

Get Fit Fridays

Dear World,
As many of you may NOT know, I have been trying to no avail to lose this mound of unnecessary baby weight that I had gained in my pregnancy with Rowyn. (A tip to all you pregnant Momma's out there...When it comes to HUGE stacks of pancakes and over sized plates of Mexican food JUST SAY NO. The satisfaction of your craving it just not worth it.) I want to lose 30 lbs and fit into my cute clothes again...so I thought you all should do it with me:].

YES! Wasn't it nice of me to just sign you up to get fit also? Not really caring whether or not you'd like to do it, I'll be posting "Get Fit Fridays" every week with a workout, recipe or tip to stay on track.
Don't worry world...in a few months we'll be sexy again and have a nice, firm butt that doesn't want to destroy Tokyo.

This Get Fit Friday I'm going to post a few fat burning yoga stretches that you can do in the morning to help wake you up and get you going. Curtousy of Womenshealthmagazine.com

Down Dog Split

Start in a pushup position, lift your hips, and move into the downward-facing dog pose, keeping your legs straight and pressing your heels into the floor (a). Lift your right leg straight back and up, keeping your right foot firmly flexed (b). Imagine you are pressing your foot into a wall behind you.

Half Crowlift

From down dog split, lower your right leg and bend your knee in to the outside of your right arm as you raise your chest and shift your weight forward. Keep this move slow and controlled. Make it harder: Move your shoulders in front of your wrists, bend your elbows, and try to lift your left foot off the ground.

Knee to Forehead

 From down dog split, slowly lower your right leg as you raise your stomach and hips, round your back, and bring your knee toward your forehead, keeping your toes pointed and core engaged. Tuck your chin toward your chest, and extend your upper back forward through your shoulders.

Warrior III

From down dog split, put your right foot between your hands. Raise your arms off the ground and shift your weight onto your right foot as you raise your left leg. At the same time, bring your torso forward until it's parallel to the floor, reaching your arms forward. Flex your left foot, pointing toes down.

Sincerely, 

Lea
