Hi Cutie

Charlie makes everything better.







9 MOAR days?? Spring break ima comin! I can't believe I've only blogged once this year, med school has gotten the best of me. I haven't been juicing lately, except when I go back home but I have hit up the gym a LOT more than I did before, which was never.. haha BEACH BODY! wheee

Okayy back to studying.

Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels

This year I'm taking my new years resolution seriously. My mom was getting really into juicing and so I hopped on board. We ordered the Omega 8005 juicer and it came in today. 5PM was the last piece of solid food I had, and it wasn't really food it was tapioca. I followed the recipe below:

handful spinach

3 stalks of kale

2 golden delicious apples

small handful parsley

1 lemon

1 cucumber

This was a similar recipe to the one on the documentary called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" which is on netflicks. It's a really good movie, great motivation to be the healthiest you can be.

By no means do I think that fasting for a day or two will make me look like... THIS

But I do hope that I can lose 10 pounds and keep them off for the rest of the year. I figured if I'm not in the best shape of my life now, I will never be! Plus having a fit, toned body while you're in your 20s is probably the best time to use it. It would be highly unlikely that I could keep juicing in San Antonio, 1. because I do not have a juicer and 2. because I don't have time to do it that often. SO hopefully by doing the following things this year I can accomplish my goal.

I will not drink tapioca, honestly tapioca might as well be little balls of fat! and I drink it almost... any chance I have really.

I will not eat certain fast foods.. (i.e mcdonalds, jackinthebox, wendys) I will make an exception for chickfila... only because its really close to school, but I will limit that as well

I will try to eat one serving of vegetables at every meal.

I will take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever I can.

I will not eat after 11 o'clock.

I will not drink soda (probably going to be realllly hard since I rely on caffeine it dr. pepper to keep me awake those long nights of studying)

Anyway while I can I will try to juice.

I bought like $26 worth of vegetables, that will hopefully last me 4 meals... took 30 minutes to shop, 30 minutes to wash, and prob and hour to juice.

It tasted okay... at first it tastes disgusting but your taste buds acclimate after awhile. My body is probably recognizing all these nutrients as foreign.. hehe

I'll leave you with a picture of bam bam and charliebear. Updates on the juice thang when I get a chance.

Howdy

Newest addition to the fam! This was a picture from Thanksgiving, I've been so behind on blogging eek.

I use this palette all the time, it's the only one I carry around now.

I decided to start my new years resolution early. This year I need to learn to exercise more patience, as well as my mind and body.

GOAL: weigh a steady 110 (currently 123 :X, and that's not muscle)

Just today I unsubscribed to at least 10 retail email subscriptions. NO more clutter, and no more temptation to online shop (less anyway). I also plan to take better care of myself, even if it is just a small task of sticking to my nightly facial ritual. I found a good cleanser and GREAT moisturizer. No matter how tired (intoxicated) no more sleeping with a face full of make-up.

Since I turned 23, I started looking into nighttime eye creams.. I know the wrinkles are somewhere under the bags. I use one from the philosophy brand every night.

Wedding pictures SOON! :) Congrats to my seester stina!!!

Charliebear

I will update soon on everything that's happened, but for now enjoy pictures of charliebear!

He's worried he'll drown cause of his short stubby legs...

He's a stinky pup from playing in the rain.

He likes to play under my bed :)

Up to no good :P

Playlist

My recently added playlist is full of katy perry, selena gomez, and demi lovato.... best study music ever! haha

<(")

Blue and Grey

Today I had the day off, my physio test is tomorrow, why am I blogging again? I guess I feel okay this time around, by the 3rd round of tests you usually find your comfort zone and I definitely don't feel as stressed out. Anyway I tried to study at Starbucks today but I feel like places like that have so many creepers. The guys that come in at 11-2PM on a weekday! and pretend to read a newspaper when they're really staring at you. Seriously?!

I've been thinking lately that I'm really grateful for the people that I've met whether the experiences have been good/bad/painful, I've learned a lot.

Thoughts

Pumpkins will rot after a week outside.

I wish I had seat heaters in my car.

One can never have enough socks.

I'm a bad listener.

I'm a demi lovato fan girl.

Dissecting a penis is not as fun as it sounds.

I don't want to be a pediatrician.

Today I went to hear Eva Kor, a holocaust survivor of the medical experiments done on twins. I cried twice, and the rest of the time I was trying to not cry... She told a horrifying but important story that stressed the importance of medical ethics. It is hard to remain humane sometimes, especially in anatomy lab.. it was well worth the hour away from studying to listen.

And it made me think of my family... :) I miss everyone!!!
