She Works Hard for the Pretty
The Ultimate Reset is a 21 day FOOD BASED cleanse by #Beachbody. I started yesterday and am looking forward to get great results!!
Other uses have experienced increased energy, focus, WEIGHT LOSS, and lifestyle changes that will help them MAINTAIN the results! *I* want to lose weight, change my eating habits, and be in peak physical condition to MAXIMIZE my workout results. With the cleanse there is no working out so 3 weeks are spent focusing on nutrition. I’m psyched and am enjoying the foods :-)
I’m posting weekly updates here (Tuesday 6/5 wraps up week 1!!), and daily updates on my Facebook Page www.facebook.com/CoachZenovia
Check’em out and let me know if you have questions!
Firstly…I am aware I suck at regular updates. I’m not prepared to promise to do better. It’s my blog and I’ll post when I wanna. SO….The no fast food for lent thing…besides a few hiccups went surprisingly well. I cooked more, ate crap less, wanted crap even less, and now that I’ve had crap (post lent) felt like crap and now want crap EVEN LESS. nearly killed myself trying to do a workout after eating some foolishness. Workout not done, I ended up asleep by 8PM like some hobo sleeping off a hangover, and am now 1 day further from reaching my fitness goals. That’s not what’s hot. AT ALL.
So, I have learned to put emphasis on preparing my foods at home, being prepared with healthy snacks, and to say NO to crack donalds in the best interest of having the best body possible for summer…and not to feel hungover and in bed before my grams…b/c…that’s not hot…and I don’t drink :-(
Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to “recharge.”
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.i’m an introvert around my family… not the same with other loved ones.
Yes! This is most definitely me-I’m not anti-social-I am an introvert w/a touch of social anxiety…but I’m awesome, I promise! Lol

Suri makes me LOL!
Here is Ashlee Simpson, her new boyfriend, and her son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Turns out, when looking at characters from children’s literature to name her son after, Ashlee should’ve just gone with Luna Lovegood Wentz.
In other news, that hat is inexcusable.
Ok I have a hard enough time keeping up with my life, let alone which day of Lent it is…I guess today is day 7, if I started on Wednesday as day 1, and tomorrow would be day 8…right? Ok whatever. Anywhoo. I bet a lot of you haters would say “ooooh” we haven’t heard from her “ooooh” I bet she fell off the wagon….well….you’d be right. :-( WHO CAN GO A WEEK WITH YOU CRISPITY GOLDEN CRACKED OUT CRACKETY FRY CRACK? Apparently not me. However. I’m back on the saddle and trying again. I only fell once…and it was yesterday..I still reached an important personal milestone… 6 days without fast food! (ya’lll don’t know)…
Things I noticed about myself in week 1….
1) Yes, I really DO have a problem. By day 4 I was irritable, snappy, and seriously jonesing.
2) Despite only vowing to give up fast food (which I have defined as food that can come in a bag, through a window—yes I’m quite literal here) I found that I am more likely to make healthier food choices in general. It just kinda happens. I don’t know what’s up with that.
3) I don’t think McDs is the problem…I think it’s fries…so for the next few weeks (now that I’m back ON the wagon) I am also giving up fries & chips b/c they are gateway drugs, bad for me (and you), and I would really like to see what impact seriously cutting back (since I can no longer say OUT) fast food will have on my weight and energy..
That’s basically it for week one. I’m hoping to not start jonesing again in about 3 days… :-/ Maybe this time I can finish! That would be dope. Let’s keep hope alive.
Crack donald’s is a powerful drug….
Yesterday went off without a hitch. No lie, I feel thinner already. After Bible Study (which is a prime nite for Crack Donald’s for me) I just took my hungry behind home, went to bed, and even DROVE PAST a McDonald’s. Yup. I passed. I realized though…I need to make a decision. What exactly IS fast food? Is it just golden deliciousness that i can get from a drive thru? Or is it also those delicious cupcakes in the cafeteria??? I did not swear of 40 days of Junk Food…just Fast Food so I’m not sure. Yesterday was 100% healthy though. Hooray for a successful first day! Stay tuned…

Today a friend and I who are doing a #Beachbody Challenge together were talking about Lent. Somehow I felt inspired to observe this year (I’m Protestant…non-denominational to be exact…we don’t really do alluhdat) and decided to give up fast food. I am a fast food junkie. Why? because it’s quick, delicious, and I don’t have to cook it, and I don’t weigh 300 lbs. So I’m good with it. Even though I know it kills softly (or not so softly) and I”m a Beachbody coach, and I know it’s keeping me shy of losing these last few lbs and from seeing definition in my abs….but alas I’M A FASTFOOD JUNKIE! So for Lent, I challenge myself for 40 days to not do fast food…no Dunkin Donuts Coolattas :0(, No Krispy Kreme donuts…oh lawd….no ….crack donald’s….
This didn’t seem so bad at about 10 AM today when I thought Lent started in about a week. I googled Lent to get my dates straight and discovered IT BEGINS TOMORROW!! I had packed healthy snacks for work and planned on a salad for lunch, but it’s FAT TUESDAY! Tammie (my inner fat girl) was outraged and deserved her last she-bang for the next forty days.
Today’s Meals:
1) Shakeology w/almond milk and fresh blackberries (I got something right)
2) pepperoni pizza, AND chicken fingers with HonestAde (just a tad sweet)
3) wendy’s!!!! single combo and a coke (oh wendy i’m gonna miss you!!)
After my class tonight I was tempted to go out and get a milkshake b/c it’s the last day I can do such thing for 40 days. I resisted, mostly out of laziness and my sister guilting me. It’s not too late for me to go to 7-11 and get a frozen coke but I probably will not (zomg 40 days is a long time!!!)
stay tuned for this journey in epic ridiculousness…
