This morning I had a large piece of watermelon for breakfast. This afternoon, I worked out for 1.5 hours focusing on my triceps, and chest muscles. My cardio was 30 minutes on the treadmill.

For lunch I had an amazing cabbage, blueberry, mango, apricot, strawberry salad with no dressing. It was the perfect post workout meal because as I type, I feel rejuvenated!

Tonight's exercise includes 5 rounds of boxing on the heavy bag and some resistance training. Tonight for dinner, I'll eat kenkey with fresh tomatoes, onions, and airfryed whole okra.

Yesterday, I took the day off to relax, reflect, and read. Interestingly, I didn't have much of an appetite and went most of the day without food.

This morning, I had a tall glass of fresh pressed carrot and orange juice and I feel as radiant and lively as the juice I drunk.  This afternoon, I plan to go hard at the gym focusing on biceps and shoulders.

Great ! Sounds like ongoing healthy development. I have not responded for a few days but continue to focus on the health challenge. Each morning I do my exercise routine, meditate and thank the ancestors, go outside and greet the morning and then move forward with my day. The morning meal consisted of structured water, MSM, a smoothie with nutritional powders, chlorella, vitamin C crystals, kale, blueberries and a banana. My weight did not drop to 115. The scale was off (ugh!) but I am at 120. I continue to work on my midline and strengthening my arms and legs.
Let me her from everybody about how you are doing.

So just did workout 2 of 2 today.
Now walking home. I really didn't feel like doing the second workout but now that I'm out I feel great!
Also I had fallen off making my alkaline water but I started back today. I noticed I drink more when it's alkaline.

This homemade alkaline water is so good.... keeping it beside me while I work makes it so much easier to get all my water in for the day.

I haven't made a real post in a while. I was all gung ho the week of my juice fast and then I faded to black. Those three days were the most energetic three days of my life! LOL (clearly I didn't make it the full seven days). BUT I learned a lot!I realize I need to prepare more mentally or even not have any external stimuli.  It seems the moment I had to deal with work, things went downhill.
I am proud of myself though. Because I've identified some behaviors I need to work on. So I don't feel like it was a total loss.  I have been diligent with working out consistently.  No less than 5xs a week. At least 3 or 4 days I do 2 a days.  My mid section and triceps leave a lot to be desired, but I will take a moment to appreciate my deltoids and biceps. I'm happy with the definition coming along.
One thing I am learning more and more in this journey is to be kind to myself.

Last night 30 minutes on the punching bag, 1000 skips on the jump rope (2 sets of 500), 10 bench presses, 10 bicep curls, 200 leg lifts, 10 shoulder presses, 300 crunches, 50 ab rolls, 10 butterfly shoulder lifts, 10 reverse tricep lifts

This morning
1000 skips on the jump rope (2 sets of 500), 10 x 2 bench presses, 10 x 2 reverse tricep lifts, 300 leg lifts, 500 crunches, 50 ab rolls, 10 butterfly shoulder lifts, 10 x 2 shoulder presses, 20 minutes on the heavy bag, 30 (the kind  @Agya Yaw doesn't understand the benefits of) + 10 bicep curls, then my regular smoothie. This is week 3 of my smoothie/juice/raw fast.
I had Ceylon tea this morning though, so I think technically, I may have just broken it (as the leaves were "cooked" to produce the tea)

Down 21 pounds since the start of the AK fitness challenge
