eating and self reflecting log Day 1/Intro!

Today was a wild one. If like me you did a great workout then your body may feel just as achy as mine. No pain no gain as they say right? going to be making logs of reflecting and daily meals along with pre-meal plans. reflections will inform you of what I actually did intake instead of the recommended. I will stick as closely to the recommended as possible

BREAKFAST:
Ate: Plain oatmeal with milk
Drink: 1cup of water

LUNCH:
Ate: 2 PB&J sandwiches on toasted white bread
Drink: 2 cups of water

DIN-DIN:
Ate:nothing
Drink: 2 cups of water

SNACK/IN BETWEEN MEALS TIME!
Ate: nothing
Drink: 2 cups of water

EATING MISSION: FAIL!
Part of my growing plan is keeping a steady diet going that is healthy and helpful towards my body [and yours!]. However today was not that day, while I did stay hydrated, I just didn't eat. One never knows how unhealthy they are and how bad the eating habits until they put themselves out there. Tomorrow i do intend to stay on top of eat. the best part was i at  least stayed hydrated right? what was your meal plan? Tomorrow i will write more updates along with some fun links to recipes I wish to [or have] try [tried]! HAPPY ASCENDING! <3

Meditation......almost success?

For a refresher take time out to meditate for the day.  Give yourself half an hour sitting in an upright position elongating the spine. or if you prefer lay down.  breath in and out, focusing on your breath. closing your eyes and continue to focus on nothing else but your breath. give yourself a good 30 minutes of breathing meditation at least once a day starting off, what you may feel see or hear just may surprise you but don't let it frighten you. today I made my attempt to do so however i could only get a god 15 in for it. unlike yesterday it was not as charging but it was a good experience non the less.  try some meditation CD's to help you. I want to give the ones that were given to me by a friend but instead here is one I like to use at night on youtube! it's a good guide for deep meditation and I hope it assist you as it did me. use headphones or in a room without interruption. it isn't the deep breathing meditation that i started with to get me back into it, however it works just the same and they use the same technique. only difference in this one uses waves instead of breathing! Enjoy! What have you done to Ascend today?

Illuminati In Waiting Day2

OK readers! Today's post is about the goals and breakfast meal of the day. listed below will be a brief workout that you can follow, or use to branch into something of your own. Every thing here is something light yet do able for beginners and i will be tossing in a 30day challenge. this one is squats! here's the squat challenge that i intend to follow. considering I did 50 yesterday i will have today as day two. so on with the list along with breakfast meal. enjoy, stay hydrated and remember to first consult a DR before doing anything. One must KNOW their limits before intending to break them! Check back later for another blog.  what will you do to ascend today?


Breakfast: 1 cup of PLAIN oatmeal in milk, 1 banana.
Drink:        1 bottle of water

                                                       WORKOUT OF THE DAY!

Stretch [THIS IS IMPORTANT!] 5 minutes, 30 seconds per stretch to get   maximum effect no less than 25. stretch legs, arms, wrist, sides and do shoulder rolls to  do listed  workout!
                             
 Jumping Jacks: there are no set amount for this more of a time challenge. do as many  as you can within 5 minutes set a timer! we need to get our heart rate pumping!

 Push-ups 20 [if you can do more do more if you need less start with 10!] no breaks

 Crunches 20 [if you can do more do more if not decrease to 10!] no breaks.

 Planks     2x's 10 seconds [if you can go longer feel free to do so with increased sets  just keep track of what you are doing!]
 
  Quick jog: That's right! finish off with a nice soft pace jog for some good cardio ending! this jog will last us oh about 10 minutes so it's best to stick to neighborhood unless you   are doing all this outdoors which is really excellent, you get to be one with nature! if you aren't comfortable with a straight jog through or jogging at all just yet, go for a very fast  paced walk. we want to keep the heart rate going but we are also giving it a nice cool down!
                              
Stretch  5mins:   Yup cool down once inside for a good stretch. show your muscles some  appreciation and don't forget to drink some water after! In fact don't forget to drink  water through the day! Hydration is key to a happy body and well oiled muscles!
