Did I say detox until Friday??....

I meant until Tuesday night!- Hey I made it almost 2 whole days!

Yes, it's true. I was weak. After yoga Tuesday evening I had a beer with my girlfriend Sasha. (that's us in the picture)What can I say....we passed a sign that said "October fest- 2 beers for $2" it seemed almost rude not to stop in!!

Yesterday I tried to re-compose myself and had a green drink in the morning. I used:

3 celery stalks

2 small organic carrots

1/2 zucchini

1 small apple

3 broccoli florets

3 leaves of swiss chard

When I got to work I had an orange and a banana for "breakfast" and a cup of green tea.

I put breakfast in quotes because around 11 is usually when I really eat- I guess it's an early lunch- late breakfast.

I had the brown rice salad that I made the day before.

Around 2 I broke down and had some roasted pork and mashed sweet potatoes that they were serving at my work. It looked so good I couldn't resist! I only had a little though- I don't want to think about how much butter was in the sweet potatoes!

I did however do a pretty hard core circuit workout when I got home for about an hour.

I don't think I talk about exercise enough. It is REALLY important!

Even if you can only squeeze in 20 minutes a day. You need to move.

You can eat well all you want but if you don't exercise it's just being good instead of great.

Anyway...after being on my high horse about ordering take out in my last post- guess what Luke and I did last night for dinner- that's right....TAKE OUT! ha! - hey, what can I say, I'm human :)

The point of this blog is not to pretend to be perfect. That's why it's called....confessions of a "healthy person".....notice the quotes?

You have to live and not be so serious- just be healthy 90% of the time if you can!!

I'm getting back on track though...so far this morning I had an apple and now I am having my brown rice salad AGAIN- with half an avocado- I will probably be very sick of brown rice salad soon :)

Beauty Tip: After you apply your make up if you are feeling like you look a little "cakey"- take some kind of balm or rich moisturizer and pat it on your cheeks. It will make you look hydrated!
