Let's Talk Health.

I'm not that healthy.
I'm going to say that straight up, because otherwise I will be a hypocrite. But I'm a lot more healthy per se than a lot of people around me.

When it comes to health, I'm pretty weird, I suppose... I eat as high vegan and raw as possible, depending on my what my body wants. For instance, I'm not vegan right now because I am training a lot more than I was before trying to put on some muscle. At my point in life, it's too hard for me to get enough protein from a raw vegan source and function. (though spirulina is wicked awesome. try it.) So that's that.

What do I do for food?
I opt for, like I said, as high raw and vegan as possible. I've always loved salads (that's what I wrote down for the pre-school survey of 'favorites'... haha) so it's just like eating whatever I like- awesome. I don't eat meat, with exceptions of times when I am home- even then, very little. I love water. I love green tea, herbal tea, fresh veg/fruit juice.
But the most important thing is to eat things that are LEAST PROCESSED! I try to eliminate as much processed food as possible. because it's gross. I feel gross afterwords.
Anways,
So this is what my average day looks like;

Breakfast.
(Lately)2 boiled eggs with salt & pepper -I usually don't eat the yolk just because I never liked it.
Fruits, usually about 2 apples or oranges
As much water as I can drink
OR
about 700ml of Green Smoothie
OR
Green juice. mmmmm <3

Lunch.
A BIIG Salad.
I like to add an avocado to my salad, and am in search of something that will add 'bulk' to the salad, because I'm starting to get a bit sick of avos. I guess my body's gotten its level of whatever it was in avos that I needed.

Oooh, my current favorite is the red cabbage salad from the Renegade Health Show :)
I change it up a bit, but this is what it is.

• As much red cabbage as you want, it lasts in the fridge for a bit so you can make more than you want for lunch aswell, btw.
• A piece of ginger.
• A clove of garlic.
• Salt to taste. I use himalayan salt.
• Spirulina to taste.
  
• Nutritional yeast to taste. I guess this is processed. please don't shank me.
• Olive oil. just enough to spread around.

To assemble:
Put the red cabbage in the food processor. You can chop it up too, if you'd like. I'm just lazy sometimes, or am short for time. Process till the cabbage is about the size of your pinky nail when short.
Move to a bowl.
Process the ginger and garlic as small as you can get it. You might want to process with the cabbage.
add that to the bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.
Eat and smile.

mmm.

Dinner:
If I had a big lunch, I'll just have a green smoothie.
or soup. either way.
Otherwise, I'll have a big salad again because I love it so much.
I try to keep my dinner light :)

I snack on nuts and such during the day, too.

Exercises.
I am in love with Jillian Michaels. Seriously. She is awesome.

I usually do about 15min. light weights like resistance band training or free-body weights. If I'm eager to get results, I do weight machines every 3 days or so. but that builds size.
And then I'll do cardio- if I can make myself get to the gym, I'll do the elliptical or the treadmill-I prefer the latter, but your body NEEDS variations. So sometimes, I even do those stepmaster things. When I'm home, I swim.
If I don't want to go to the gym, I'll do workoutvideos I find online, or buy (Jillian Michaels kickboxing workout is love. I love it.) DVDs.
I try to do about 6hrs of total workout in a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Tennis, when I'm home, I do about 2 hours a day on top of that aswell.

Mind you. I'm not always this good. with food or exercises.
but I've had a lot of people ask me what I do, so... I posted the v. basics of what I do.
hehe
