Nike product wear testing!!!

Several months ago Nike was accepting applications for wear testers.  I'm not sure if they accept wear testers year round but you can definitely go check out their website to see if you qualify as a wear tester for both apparel and footwear.  Sounds like fun!

DETOX...are you thinking about it?

To detox or not to detox that is the question!

I've been feeling sluggish and just not on my A game lately.  Coming off of the holidays, starting a new job and moving to a new city = me neglecting my body and developing horrible eating habits.  It's all about instant gratification right!?!  Eeeeh wrong, because my body is revolting and now I'm not feeling so hot.  So, I've decided to detox.  My co-worker found this great article in Whole Living magazine for a 21 day detox.  I'm on day 2 of the detox and here's my take thus far:

(Links to everything is at the bottom)

PROS

-Affordable (I spent about $48 on a week's worth of groceries = $2.29/meal)

-Tastes good (very important!!!)

-Healthy (whole foods only, no processed)

-Feel satisfied (not full but satisfied, there's a difference)

-Lighter (don't we all want to feel lighter)

-Snacks (there are recipes for healthy snacks, that's a plus in my book)

-Knowledge (I'm learning about new foods and how to prepare them, yippee)

-Easy prep

-Variety of meals you can chose from

-Recipes / shopping lists are provided

CONS

-Time (some recipes take some time to prepare, like soups but you can refrigerate it and have several meals)

-Headaches (the article mentions that you'll experience some, not horrible)

-Hunger pains (definitely feeling my tummy growl from time to time, drinking water helps a whole lot)

-Juices (they're yummy but if you don't have a juicer, well you can't make juice, I found an affordable one at Wally World -- Walmart)

I did my shopping at Winco, similar to a Food 4 Less in some areas.  They have an unbelievable variety of spices, love it!  Trader Joe's would be a great place to go for affordability and variety as well.  Or maybe even Walmart.  You're not buying a lot so make sure you are looking at the servings before you go shopping.  I learned that the hard way!

Black & Decker Juice/Vegetable Extractor ($29.88) -- Walmart

Here's to a NEW YOU starting right NOW!

Yikes!  It's already February and you're probably thinking didn't I just ring in the new year!?!  That's probably how a few OR how most of us feel.  And, what about the dreaded new year's resolutions?  Do you know that half of America's population makes new year's resolutions, that's 156 million of us (a little over the population of Russia's 143 million) and majority of those pledges are broken within a week?  That's almost as many as those broken by politicians =)

None of that this year!  We all go through rough seasons in our lives and it takes a toll on us physically and mentally (I can testify to that).  But how sweet it is when we overcome those challenges for they refine us!

So, my challenge for you is to cut yourself some slack, break out of your norm, live it up and give yourself some FREEEEEEDOM to breathe and enjoy all that's around you!  As corny and cliche as it may sound take the time to work on YOU.  As I will be doing the same and sharing it here!

Here's to a NEW YOU starting right NOW!
