Tweet With Me

I think need to join Social Media Addicts Anonymous ... I don't even own a television but I feel lost with out my iPhone- for the twitt & fb apps of course. These days, you just can't trust a person who doesn't have a facebook profile. Can't trust em. I think it has to do with my love of sociology, and it caters to my ADD ways.

Anyways, add me bitches!

Klarbrunn is For Lovers

Black Cherry Klarbrunn is the new nectar of the Gods in my world.

If you disagree, try not eating any sugar for two weeks, and then taste one on a hot summer day. Mmm mmm good.

I can't remember the last time I felt this good! I feel stoked about stuff and full of life. I'm already down a solid 8 lbs too, and I feel so energized and motivated. I'm definitely putting all of my spare time into the planning and preparation of this lifestyle. When I get home from work, I am washing tupperware, or cooking/packing meals, or doing laundry (gym clothes!), or packing my panniers for riding my bike to work. I really don't have time for a whole lot of anything else. I am not whining! In fact, there is nothing else I would rather be doing with my time. I have never been so selfish in my life. No boyfriend to check-in with or dote on, no other focus except doing my workouts and eating clean. My mood is so lifted that I find my work life improving greatly.

Here's my score from the Farmer's Market on Saturday:


I still have a few squash left to use. After the Farmer's Market adventure I manged to spend the rest of my day doing glamorous thing like washing produce, laundering clothes and picking up supplements. I did a little shopping too, spent too much money at Victoria's Secret and geeked out over some things at Barnes and Nobel. I ended up picking up Tosca Reno's book The Eat Clean Diet. I've already read the whole thing and I recommend this book! It is totally in line with all of the fat burning principles I have researched.

When I first started out I learned a good deal of the fat burning principles in the Body-for-Life book, and while that is good for beginners, I needed something a bit more in depth. Then in 2007 my friend sent me an eBook by bodybuilder and fitness expert Tom Venuto entitled "Burn Fat, Feed Muscle," and that book became the foundation of my fitness philosphy. Yes, I have the knowledge and have had it for sometime. Too bad its ALL in the execution of it. Hence, the Autonomy Project! :) I can't wait until I've practiced what I've preached, and bore the fruits of my labor so others will listen to my counsel. I would really enjoy being a fat loss coach or something along those lines.

My current supplement arsenal.

I only take supplements that I really really believe in. I don't want to take anything unless I need it. For now, that means:

Echinacea- to keep colds away

Green Tea- A fat burner with no calories

Glucosamine- for my creaky knee joints

Omega 3 Fish Oils- For joints and all that other stuff Fish Oils do (Google it- they're amazing!)

Protein Powder- Three different types: standard whey(for post workout), slow release (for evenings- meal 6), and a Probolic that lasts 12 hours (for strawberry flavr). The "probolic" might be a scam, I just got it this weekend and haven't reasearched it yet. I do like the texture of the powder. It shakes evenly with no clumps.

That's about it for now. I should probably take a multi, but first of all, I eat a LOT off veggies, and second, I hate how they taste. I read a little trick that says to take your supp's at night so your body breaks them down and sends them where they need to go while you sleep, and so you don't pee them out with your morning coffee. So I've been doing that.
