Sunday Funday!

Wow I'm tired!  I spent all weekend apartment hunting.  I think I found the perfect place today!  But I don't want to say too much yet and jinx it.  So let's just say I'll be pretty stoked if I end up living there.  Looking for a place to live is such an exhausting thing to do though.  When I was buying a place a few years ago, I looked at soooo many properties for months.  Even put in a few offers which fell through before I finally found the condo I ended up buying.  Renting is a lot simpler, but it's still tough to find a place you are absolutely happy with.  I really hope my search is over lol.  Don't want to do this again next weekend!

For the first 4 days of this week, I decided to do the same "cleanse" that I did 2 years ago.  You can click on the link for the full description, but it's basically a real food cleanse instead of juicing.  It's very low cal, probably too low to be honest.  But I felt that I had been eating too much junk lately and needed a break.  While I'm not an advocate of eating low cal/low carb in general, I do think a few days of doing so is not going to cause permanent damage to my metabolism.  I hope not, at least lol.  I actually feel way way better after doing this.  I lost so much bloat - in fact I lost 5 lbs in the first 3 days!  I have been eating my regular food (minus the junk) since then, and haven't even gained any weight back.  I also noticed that the overall loss of bloat had an immediate effect on my appearance.  I can now see certain muscle definitions that I didn't know I had.  It's kind of exciting because I thought all this time I have been trying to build muscles with no real visible progress!  Didn't know they were just hiding... lol!

I think this week was also kind of a reset button for me, as I no longer feel like eating any sweets or fried/unhealthy foods since the cleanse.  First 2 days were really tough though.  I felt like I was going to faint at some point, no joke!  But strangely, days 3 and 4 were such a breeze.  I also went to the gym everyday and did my regular workouts.  I did notice that my lifting strength was affected by the significant cut in calories.  But overall I had no problems completing all my workouts, and then some.

I wore the Nike Epic crew in deep night as to and from - I didn't realize it was the exact same shade of blue as Lululemon's wish blue!

To prove that I no longer feel like having unhealthy food, this was my brunch from today!  It's avocado toast with prosciutto, green olives and a soft cooked egg.  It was SO good!  Perfect amount of food as well (I also had a latte).  This was at The Tavern in Brentwood.  I was inspired by this dish and I think I can easily reproduce it at home.  Great idea!

As usual, the weekend is too short!  It feels even shorter this time, since I barely had any time to relax.  Not ready for another work week yet!  Luckily next weekend will be a long weekend!

Hope you all had a good one!
