New Inspiration

So for some reason I feel like I need a new lease on life. Maybe it's because the semester is coming to an end and everything seems to be changing, but I feel like changing everything in my life. For the purpose of this blog I'll just concentrate on my fitness and health.

Basically, I've been lazy, I haven't really worked out in a while and I feel like crap. It isn't about weight loss anymore, just simply about toning and feeling healthy. I want to get back to how I ate at the beginning of the semester, by throwing out the crap I'm eating now and going back to the nutrious and mostly raw foods. Salads, turkey sandwiches, fruits, and such. One of my favorite snacks is the all powerful date, mmm.

For some reason I've been visiting "Men's Health" a lot. So I will try to eat more of their 12 Power Foods, mostly because they are things I like anyway. Almonds, beans, spinach, dairy, instant oatmeal, eggs, turkey, all-natural peanut butter, olive oil, whole-grain breads and cereal, extra-protein (whey) powder, and raspberries. Another list that I enjoyed was the "10 Foods Your Not Eating." Cabbage, beets, guana, swiss chard, cinnamon, purslane, pomegranate juice, goji berries, dried plums, and pumpkin seeds.

Well I have more to say, but it's getting late and sleep helps with health. If you have any supportive advise let me know. I have a month off of school, and I want to stay in shape.
