Spring has Sprung

Wow it has finally warmed up here in San Jose, CA. I love this time of year. I'm so happy that I'm living the chiropractic wellness lifestyle. Not only do I feel good, but I also look good; a welcome side effect. 

My food plan is still working great. Here are my supplies for the week: 

Here's the food plan for the week:

Breakfast (9am) ~ 2 cups non-fat yogurt, 2 cups blueberries, 1 banana, handful walnuts, cinnamon, and 2 tbs raw organic honey

Lunch (12pm) ~ 4 Hard boiled eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs Chia Seeds, 2 cups steamed carrots, and 2 cups steamed broccoli, seasonings (Turmeric, Sea Salt, Pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce)

Mid-Afternoon (3pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Red Drink, 1 organic apple

Dinner (6pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Green Drink, 2 organic oranges

Evening (9pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 

I'm sticking to the non-fat yogurt because I like it now for some reason.

My workouts are going great and I'm feeling stronger every day.

Tomorrow I'm going to my chiropractor to get my spine checked.

Living the lifestyle

I really enjoyed last week's change in the food plan. It seems like my body digests the food better when I start off with yogurt in the morning. 

The CWL food supply changed a little for this week. Trader Joe's didn't order their whole fat yogurt so I had to go with the non-fat. I tried the non-fat this morning and it was totally disgusting. I definitely do not recommend anything non-fat. Fat is good for you. Don't believe the hype. Plus anything that is fat free is just plain nasty. 

Food plan this week is almost the same:

Breakfast (9am) ~ 2 cups non-fat yogurt, 2 cups blueberries, 1 banana, handful walnuts, cinnamon, and 2 tbs raw organic honey

Lunch (12pm) ~ 4 Hard boiled eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs Chia Seeds, 2 cups steamed carrots, and 2 cups steamed broccoli, seasonings (Turmeric, Sea Salt, Pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce)

Mid-Afternoon (3pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Red Drink, 1 organic apple

Dinner (6pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Green Drink, 2 organic oranges

Evening (9pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 

I did read, on my yogurt container, that the good bacteria are added to the yogurt after pasteurization.

My 3 days on and 1 day off work out routine is working great. My muscles feel fuller and stronger. The swimming is still hard, because I push myself on every interval.

I didn't have time to make it to my chiropractor today, so I will be going tomorrow.

Your Health is Everything

I am so grateful and thankful for my health. Most people take their health for granted and only think about it when something goes wrong. I hope people can become inspired by my blog here and take their health as serious as I do.  

I just got back from getting my spine checked for subluxations and my chiropractor gave me an awesome adjustment. Every time I leave my chiropractor's office I feel so good knowing that body is now fully connected to my brain and I'm receiving 100% life power to all my organs, muscles and glands. Anything alive requires life. Life comes from the nervous system. I definitely want to stay connected to the source of all  life. 

To be healthy and stay healthy, first you need power, then you need fuel, and my food plan ROCKS!! I'm still feeling super awesome, my energy levels are constant all day long, and I'm never hungry or craving "junk" food. 

My Trader Joe's food supply for this week was the same, except I needed to resupply the fruit and vegetable powders. 

Check it out I made a few tweaks with my food plan this week:

Breakfast (9am) ~ 2 cups yogurt, 2 cups blueberries, 1 banana, handful walnuts, cinnamon, 2 tbs honey

Lunch (12pm) ~ 4 Hard boiled eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs Chia Seeds, 2 cups steamed carrots, and 2 cups steamed broccoli, seasonings (Turmeric, Sea Salt, Pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce)

Mid-Afternoon (3pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Red Drink, 1 organic apple

Dinner (6pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Green Drink, 2 organic oranges

Evening (9pm) ~ Isalean Shake, 

I'm starting off my morning with the yogurt this week, because my thinking is that I want to feed my friendly bacteria in my gut first thing, so each subsequent meal will be digested better. From what I've been reading, the best type of yogurt to use would be unpasteurized but it's nearly impossible to find. So hopefully I'm still getting good cultures in my Trader Joe's pasteurized organic yogurt.

It's been about 6 weeks of doing the same work out routine so now I changed it. Now I do 3 days on and 1 day off; Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Legs/Shoulders, and Rest. I'm still doing the 20 minutes of high intensity interval training of swimming every other day, but last week I only went swimming one time.

Thank you for reading my blog, and good luck to you in getting healthy and staying healthy!

Expressing Life at 100%

I'm feeling so amazing and healthy! I love life and expressing life at 100%! The Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle is the only way to live. It addresses all areas of health and well being. I love it. 

I started off this week with my chiropractic spinal check-up and my chiropractor cleared my spine of all subluxations. Now my body is receiving 100% power from my brain. 

Now to fuel by body with pure organic food, enriched with anti-oxidants and micro-nutrients. You should think of your body as a high performance sports car. So if my body is like a Lamborghini, then what is the first thing my body needs in order to work? If you said "power" you got it right. Without power there is now way you could even start your car. This is what chiropractic does; it turns on the power! 

Next you want to put fuel in your car. Do you want low grade fuel going into a high performance sports car? No, of course not. Therefore we want the best fuel possible. That's why the best fuel for your body is how I'm eating here on my blog. You can always change the foods, but the concept needs to be the same. All foods should be organic, pesticide free, non-GMO, high in fiber, high in anti-oxidants, sufficient protein, and high in fat. A lot of people cringe, or do a double take, when seeing "high in fat", but yes it's true. You body needs and craves fat. Saturated fat and unsaturated fat are good for you. 

Trader Joe's was nice to the budget this week. My wellness food was only $56.77 this week.

Here is my food plan for the week:

Breakfast ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Red Drink

Lunch ~ 4 Hardboiled eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs Chia Seeds, 2 cups steamed carrots, and 2 cups steamed broccoli

Mid-Afternoon ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Green Drink, 1 organic apple

Dinner ~ 2 cups yogurt, 2 cups blueberries, 1 banana, handful walnuts, cinnamon, 1 tbs honey

Evening ~ Isalean Shake, 2 organic oranges

Seasonings (lunch) ~ Turmeric, Salt, Pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce

As you can see I cut out the raspberries and handful of walnuts in the morning. I may add that back in later but for now I'm taking it out because after I drink my Isalean Shake I'm not even hungry.

My workouts are still the same and I'm still doing the 20 minutes of high intensity interval training of swimming every other day.

Well looking forward to another week health and vitality!

Good luck to all you who are living the Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle!

Feeling Amazing!

This last week was awesome! The Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle is the only way to live. I'm loving my food plan and staying satisfied. 

My food bill this week was cheap because they were out of organic raspberries and  I still have some walnuts left over. So I will pick those items up later in the week. 

Here is my food plan for the week:

Breakfast ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Red Drink, 2 cups organic raspberries (or 1 banana until I can restock) with a handful of walnuts

Lunch ~ 4 Hardboiled eggs, 1/2 cup quinoa, 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs Chia Seeds, 2 cups steamed carrots, and 2 cups steamed broccoli

Mid-Afternoon ~ Isalean Shake, 1 scoop Green Drink, 1 organic apple

Dinner ~ 2 cups yogurt, 2 cups blueberries, 1 banana, handful walnuts, cinnamon, 1 tbs honey

Evening ~ Isalean Shake, 2 organic oranges

Seasonings (lunch) ~ Turmeric, Salt, Pepper, Frank's Hot Sauce


My workouts are going fantastic! I'm still doing: 4 days on/ 4 days on/ No rest; Chest/Back, Arms, Shoulders, Legs, Repeat. Then I do my 20 minutes of high intensity interval training of swimming every other day. Kicking harder has made a huge difference in my swimming speed, so I'm still working on that.

I got my spinal check-up today, and my wonderful chiropractor removed the nerve interference in my spine. Now I'm ready for another week of health and vitality!
