Water Therapy

Water is an essential, I think we've all got that down pat but what are we really drinking? Is bottled water any better than tap? Maybe in rare cases, but not generally. Filtering (or boiling) seems to be the key to getting clean, healthy water instead of paying about $2.00 a bottle thinking that we've made the best choice possible.

My mom has been trying to get me in the habit of starting each day off with water in hand. It is her regimen and she only saw it fitting to pass it down. Though at times I forget, I've been trying to stick too it over Christmas break and instill in it my daily routine. I'm getting better and feeling even better. 8:30am classes don't feel as disgusting as they used too. It's like a little natural energy boost, a mini-detox every morning. Starting your day with clean water, about 1.5 liters, is said to  be the ideal way to begin your day and get your shit started, literally. It also helps combat diseases and even shed a few pounds. So honestly, whatcha waiting for?? You can read a short blog post/ testimonial from Debs (mum) blog about it here and find out more about it here and here.

Pretty simple right? Now invest in a Brita (or filter) get to chugging and start Wednesday off right!

These two deserve a round of applause. They both dropped half a body and look absolutely stunning. That's some inspiration right there, which is oh so necessary in the holiday season!

The Secret

OK, so, I have been complimented a lot lately about weight loss. I have had a struggle being a curvy girl my whole life. I was never gifted with the biological jeans of a skinny model as much as I want to be one, but here is my secret.

I am a Pescetarian. A Pescetarian is the practice of a diet that includes seafood, and excludes other animals. In addition to fish and/or shellfish, a pescetarian diet typically includes some or all of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, beans. "one whose diet includes fish but no meat". 


There are so quick fixes or gimmicks. Losing weight is a changing of lifestyle. Not only dieting will do, you must workout as well. I personally Workout 5 days a week, 6 days if I can. I run on the treadmill each day for 35-45 min. 2 days a week I lift weights. Lifting is so crucial in working out. It gets your heart rate going faster then actually running on the treadmill or any other cardio.


The book that changed my life forever is called Skinny Bitch. I recommend this book to EVERYONE. They even have one for men called Skinny Bastard. 


Here's the website - Skinny Bitch
