Pour some SUGAR on me....

So, I was reading SELF and I think this is some valid information to share with you all....The subject is sugar. Sugar can be in alot of places we do not even notice and it can have many code names...."Since 1970, the amount of sugar in processed foods has nearly doubled, largely because sugar is cheap and readily available. Today it's pumped into pretty much everything to make food products more enticing—even ones that are already sweet, such as fruit juice. As a result, the average American gobbles up 43,800 more calories from added sugar (meaning sweeteners, like high fructose corn syrup and honey, that are added to packaged foods) per year than we did in 1977." 

Trouble is, our body isn't equipped to handle this amount. If a woman's intake of added sugars increases by more than 20 percent, her body-mass index rises 2 to 3 points, which is enough to shift from the normal weight to the overweight category or from overweight to obese, a 27-year study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has found. Research has also linked increased sugar consumption to higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome. Though you want to strive to cut out sugar completely it is nearly impossible and not necessary. Just keep your sugar intake to a minimum and try to curb those cravings. Instead of reaching for that chocolate candy bar settle for something a little more healthy like a granola bar with chocolate chips in it...

Another article related goes on to talk about "how much sugar is too much?" .....

How Much Is Too Much?

It's complicated. To function, our body relies on natural sugar in vegetables and carbs (glucose) and dairy products (lactose, which converts to glucose as it's digested). Glucose is the body's main fuel source and the brain's only one. As for the sugar in fruit, "the body uses fructose only in energy crises—like running a marathon," says Robert Lustig, M.D., a spokesman for the Endocrine Society. "It's really nature's way of tempting you to eat fruit to get the nutrients." The liver can easily dispose of such a small amount. (An apple has 11 grams.)
Added sugars are the issue: Most consist of about half glucose, half fructose: Table sugar is 50-50; high fructose corn syrup is 45-55. Both glucose and fructose get turned into fat when we eat too much of them. (This is also true of natural sugars in healthful foods like fruit, but would you ever scarf five apples in one sitting?) Excess glucose can up your risk for hypertension and metabolic syndrome; and when the liver can't handle more fructose, the remainder converts to triglycerides, a type of fat that can build up around organs. "This prevents the liver from processing insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, so your pancreas makes more," Dr. Lustig says. "High levels can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes."
The USDA groups together added sugar and solid fats such as butter (both have empty calories) and advises you to get less than 15 percent of your daily calories from them. The experts SELF polled say to aim for less than 10 percent of calories from added sugar. If you're eating 1,800 calories, that's 180 calories, or a can of soda and four Life Savers. Tally your splurge calories and enjoy them to your sweet tooth's content!


Stay Sweet ;)

Life in a new light...

So I have not written a blog in FOREVER but I'm trying to get back into the habit of it I've been really busy lately and life is CRAZY! Anyways.... So lately I'm trying to find out who I am transitioning from College into the "Real World" and let me just tell you it is not easy! I have been so overwhelmed with everything...so recently getting out of a long distance relationship I've had to change some habits that we seem to gain from relationships in general, and one thing I seem to lose the most tangled in a relationship is myself and my values and what I think I should deserve. I've been doing a lot of self-reflection and trying to get back to my "happy" place. I tend to mold myself to another person's wishes and I put what they would want over my own needs and wants. This my friends can be a positive and a negative at times. I think its good because it takes compromise to be in a relationship but I also think its bad because you'll find yourself accepting things that you normally would not tolerate. You have to ask yourself how much is too much? and I like this person so much should I just stay and try to forget that happened or they treated me like this? I have to take a step back and evaluate myself and my worth...what do i deserve? what do i think about myself? Recently I've started to realize im worth a lot more than I ever thought... I've started to realize I do deserve to be treated great and shouldn't have to put up with stuff that most people wouldn't. I think that we should all take a step back and find out who we are and what we think we deserve and never settle for anything less. We only have ourselves to blame for our own unhappiness. 

It's good to be back :)

XOXO

Jenna Lyne

p.s. please keep my best friend Cara in your prayers, thank you!

Why does love make us do crazy things?

So I wanted to share something very personal and not so dear to me that I hold on to and struggle to get over everyday...I want to share my story because I want others who have gone through it to realize they are not alone and can get through it. Some of you may be going through it right now and not even realize it... and if you are...I am here if you need to talk about ANYTHING. Even if I don't barely know you...

So I am in a new relationship, he's wonderful. Everything about him couldn't be better & I know that if we don't work out I'm thankful for him anyways because he has taught me a lot about myself and made me overcome some of the hardest things I struggle with in a RELATIONSHIP....

This leads me to my horrible relationship experience.... I dated this guy, of course I say it like you all thought I was going to say girl haha but yes a guy who basically changed me....& not in a good way.

In the beginning we were wonderful, peachy, that new exciting period in a relationship where everything is just fun and PERFECT. This stage, I have learned, does NOT last. Not in any relationship... but somewhere in it all I lost myself.

It was like waking up one day and the person you thought you knew like the back of your hand did a 360. Why was he so convinced that he couldn't trust me? This is the simple line that can RUIN a relationship in a HEARTBEAT.....TRUST....I don't care what anyone says this is the KEY to a relationship, without it you've got two people who are bound to go different ways.

It began when I would receive accusing phone calls, out of nowhere? Let me remind you all, I did NOTHING, absolutely nothing, I would be at home in my bed and he would accuse me of cheating? And I spent most of our conversations assuring him I was not cheating and that I only wanted to be with him and that I loved him...that's only the beginning...

Somewhere further down the road be became possessive & insecure. It was slowly headed for disaster... I was spending our days together walking on eggshells, watching every move I made not to tick him off. I became this scared, fearful, insecure, lifeless, and NOT STRONG little girl. I was in a relationship but yet I felt SO LONELY. I was slowly becoming a victim of an abusive (emotionally, physically, and mentally) relationship.

How? You ask...& I don't worry I already know what else is coming out of your mouths...Well you have the option to leave him, & you are dumb for staying with him if that's how he was treating you....& the list goes on and on right? Yeah its just like those lifetime movies where you watch that girl fall in love with a jerk who raises his hand at her and all you can do is feel frustrated through the whole movie and want to shake her and be like YOUR STUPID for staying with him!!! Oh believe me, I am sure ALL My friends thought the same thing. My life was becoming a BAD LIFETIME movie. And from my end of the spectrum, it's easier said than done....

It became grueling...I was so manipulated that I didn't even recognize myself. I was not the Happy-go-lucky girl I once knew. I was this pitiful, broken thing...not human anymore. He was so good at it, so good at convincing me that I was not worth a damn thing. Our relationship became one exhausting fight after another where he would rip me down till I was stripped of all dignity and then he'd explode and leave me scared to leave him. I was convinced I couldn't get anyone else, or that's what he told me. When you're told something so many times....you believe it.....Have you ever heard of those people who will lie and tell a story so many times that they actually start to convince themselves it happened? Yeah well same with this...He told me so many times that I was worthless and no one would EVER put up with me that I truly believed it.

It became a relationship that once was him striving to hold onto me that became me desperate to hold onto him... I will spare everyone the grueling details because it was not pretty but I wanted to share this story with you all because I want people to know that this is a REAL thing and it DOES happen. You don't have to believe me, and you don't have to even try to relate to me but if this story helps atleast one person out there who is a victim of abuse...then that is all I care about.

So you probably are wondering how I got out of this? Well it became so bad that I lost everyone. My parents, My bestfriends, & even him. He convinced me everyone was against him and us being together so I distanced myself and the problem with that became I basically dropped off the planet. I stayed in my room and didnt go anywhere fearing that he would get mad at me. Eventually the lifeless cold person i shriveled up to started to even push him away. He left me.


But this became a miracle. At the time, I won't lie, I thought my life was over... but I soon realized my happiness and relief that he was gone. I started to feel this overwhelming relief, no longer did I have to tell him every detail of where I was going, who I was with, what I was doing, and the list goes on. I was free. I won't forget the line my friend told me that snapped me to reality, "Jenna, you were not yourself. We didn't know who you were and we were scared. You were like a robot. We were truly scared everyday that you would turn up on the news missing or dead."deep stuff huh?

Now I just had to rebuild this broken little girl back up to be a confident woman. & that is something I am still working on.

I struggle still with confidence, especially those who know me pretty well can tell you this. But I am now sure of who I want to be. I am not resentful towards him, only sometimes I have moments where I will notice something I do that I realize I act like that because of him but for the most part I am thankful to have gone through all this because it has made me STRONGER. I know when I meet someone and as soon as they start to show a sign of being anything like him I peace out. I won't let this happen again to me and I hope I can help someone avoid this situation also. It still is taking time, I wish I could say I am 100% better, but i'm not going to lie...I'm not. I still have breakdowns over it, it really was a bad bad movie that felt never-ending, but I'll get there... eventually.

I know some people already know about this situation but I don't want to hide it from anyone. It makes me who I am today and I really hope if someone should read it and be faced with this same issue that they can find confide in me. I am here if someone needs to talk & no judgement will be passed.

Everyone is worth it, you just have to find it in yourself. You're obviously here for a reason, so take that and run with it. Be who you want to and don't let anyone stop you! & most of all learn to trust people, not everyone is bad....his loss of trust is what started his crazy.

Love & Relationships... Things you don't think about....

So relationships are hard.(Period). They require a lot of work, a lot of attention, and a lot of time. Some people are cut out for them and some are not. Am I good at relationships? Um I would not say I am horrible but there are some things I am still learning everyday in my relationship now.

Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes and you have to take the time to grow from your mistakes instead of beat yourself up over them. I am going to give a few tips to picking the right person for you and things you should REALLY think about before getting into a relationship....

• Choose a partner wisely and well. We are attracted to people for all kinds of reasons. They remind us of someone from our past. They shower us with gifts and make us feel important. Evaluate a potential partner as you would a friend; look at their character, personality, values, their generosity of spirit, the relationship between their words and actions, their relationships with others.
• Know your partner's beliefs about relationships. Different people have different and often conflicting beliefs about relationships. You don't want to fall in love with someone who expects lots of dishonesty in relationships; they'll create it where it doesn't exist.
• Don't confuse sex with love. Especially in the beginning of a relationship, attraction and pleasure in sex are often mistaken for love.
• Know your needs and speak up for them clearly. A relationship is not a guessing game. Many people, men as well as women, fear stating their needs and, as a result, camouflage them. The result is disappointment at not getting what they want and anger at a partner for not having met their (unstated) needs. Closeness cannot occur without honesty. Your partner is not a mind reader. THIS IS A HUGE ONE! People also have to realize that you have the right to state your needs, you have the right to have your own wants....people sometimes feel like they do not have the right to get mad about certain things but you do. If that is your opinion and that is something YOU WANT then bring it up because like I said your partner is NOT a mind reader!
• Respect, respect, respect. Inside and outside the relationship, act in ways so that your partner always maintains respect for you. Mutual respect is essential to a good relationship.
• View yourselves as a team, which means you are two unique individuals bringing different perspectives and strengths. That is the value of a team—your differences.
• Know how to manage differences; it's the key to success in a relationship. Disagreements don't sink relationships. Name-calling does. Learn how to handle the negative feelings that are the unavoidable byproduct of the differences between two people. Stonewalling or avoiding conflicts is NOT managing them.
• If you don't understand or like something your partner is doing, ask about it and why he or she is doing it. Talk and explore, don't assume.
• Solve problems as they arise. Don't let resentments simmer. Most of what goes wrong in relationships can be traced to hurt feelings, leading partners to erect defenses against one another and to become strangers. Or enemies.
• Learn to negotiate. Modern relationships no longer rely on roles cast by the culture. Couples create their own roles, so that virtually every act requires negotiation. It works best when good will prevails. Because people's needs are fluid and change over time, and life's demands change too, good relationships are negotiated and renegotiated all the time.
• Listen, truly listen, to your partner's concerns and complaints without judgment. Much of the time, just having someone listen is all we need for solving problems. Plus it opens the door to confiding. And empathy is crucial. Look at things from your partner's perspective as well as your own.
• Work hard at maintaining closeness. Closeness doesn't happen by itself. In its absence, people drift apart and are susceptible to affairs. A good relationship isn't an end goal; it's a lifelong process maintained through regular attention.
• Take a long-range view. A marriage is an agreement to spend a future together. Check out your dreams with each other regularly to make sure you're both on the same path. Update your dreams regularly.
• Never underestimate the power of good grooming.
• Sex is good. Pillow talk is better. Sex is easy, intimacy is difficult. It requires honesty, openness, self-disclosure, confiding concerns, fears, sadnesses as well as hopes and dreams.

So I hope this helps a little bit and make you all think twice about approaching a relationship. If you are in a relationship now remind yourself of this stuff and really work on it. I hate to give the bad news but you NEVER stop working on a relationship. It is a never ending process and your all going to have to work really hard to keep the relationship exciting and involved.

Do little things a lot and show the person you care. Something as little as a post-it saying a cute "i love you" or "i appreciate you in my life" will do the trick. It's all about showing you care and that you're in that relationship and willing to make an effort.


Don't run away from love and relationships...they sound overwhelming but when your in a good one....It's Worth It.

Post workout Recovery Snacks...YUM!

Ok so everyone hesitates to eat after that AWESOME workout but guess what....even if you don't want to you NEED to. This is key to working out getting that protein & carbs in your diet after a workout is going to help for a faster recovery for those sore muscles :)

The key ingredients to a post-workout meal are protein and carbohydrates. Protein provides the amino acid profile that your body needs. Amino acids are the building blocks for your muscles. Carbohydrates provide energy. The energy from carbohydrates are converted into glycogen, which is the primary fuel source for your muscles and brain. These two nutrients work hand in hand for muscle recovery.

Next: How Much Do You Eat?
The recommended ratio is technically 4:1, carbohydrates: protein. To make this a simple decision, be sure to include 1 serving of protein and 1 serving of carbohydrate, as a minimum. You will need to adjust the amount according to the size of your meal, your calorie needs, your size, the intensity of your workout and how hungry you are. Typically you should plan for this snack to be roughly 200-300 calories post workout. As a reminder: your unique needs will determine how many calories will encourage best workout recovery. Experiment and see what feels good in your body!

Ideally you want to eat immediately after a work out, but if you feel you cannot do this then eat atleast within the hour post-workout


1. Protein shake:

• 1 serving of protein of choice + milk or water + 1 serving of fruit
• go crazy here and even add a handful of greens for extra punch

2. Yogurt bowl:

• Greek yogurt + banana or fruit of choice + granola sprinkled on top

3. Eggs-n-Toast:

• 2 scrambled eggs or egg whites + 1 slice of whole wheat toast

4. Homemade Protein Bar:

• 1 banana, mushed
• 1 scoop protein powder of choice
• 1/2 cup granola
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• Mix ingredients. Spread on wax paper and cover. Freeze for 90 minutes. Thaw in microwave if needed for 10 seconds. Recipe based off of Tony Horton’s Sticky Bar.

5. Cracker Style:

• grab a serving size of your favorite wheat crackers with a dose of toppings
• whole wheat crackers + hummus or peanut butter or cheese

6. The Latte way :

• latte + hard boiled egg or spoonful of peanut butter

7. Cliff Bar, Luna Bar, protein bar of choice:

• find a protein bar that agrees with your body and provides you the energy you need

8. Roll ups:

• sliced deli meat + cheese + fruit of choice

9. PB Toast:

• peanut butter + sliced banana + slice of whole wheat toast

10. Nutzo:

• combination of favorite nuts with a side of your choice
• 20-30 almonds + fruit of choice + granola bar
• 20-30 almonds + greek yogurt

11. Hummus all around:

• 3-4 tbsp hummus + apple slices + slice of whole wheat bread
• 3-4 tbps hummus + carrot sticks + pita bread

12. Bean Wraps

• 1/4 c. beans of choice + 2 tablespoons hummus + small pita or wrap
• 1/4 c. beans of choice + shredded cheese + small pita or wrap
• 1/4 c. beans of choice + salsa + small pita or wrap

13. Classic Oats

• oatmeal + protein powder + fruit topping
• oatmeal + 1 tbsp. peanut butter

So hopefully that is enough options for everyone! Go get your workout on!! and now you have the tools to feed those muscles after that AMAZING workout! Keep up the hard work and thanks for following :)

Anxiety and the ones we love...

Dealing with anxiety alone can be exhausting and crippling. It will literally affect everything you do, say, act, EVERYTHING. I can't help but feel I will ALWAYS be the root of the problem when it comes to relationships..."if i wasn't so anxious, we wouldn't be having this fight" "if i could just be normal like other people it would cause less stress on this relationship" "if my anxiety wasn't crippling me today i could go do whatever and actually leave the house" these are all things I think about when it comes to my anxiety. How do we deal with this? How do I get them to understand so I don't ALWAYS feel ALONE even when I am not? How will I ever make a relationship work? How will someone ever have enough patience with me and this disorder? This anxiety is so discouraging, I feel as if i'll never have a normal life, I sometimes feel I wont make it as far as other people because of it...there is so much discouragement with anxiety. EVERYDAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY SECOND.

Reaching out to a love one with anxiety can leave us exhausted. Moreover, we begin to feel desperate and hopeless in our day-to-day lives. In the end, we too start feeling anxious, as our relationships become dearly effected and dictated by Anxiety disorders.

As we know, anxiety is an illness which makes us feel uncomfortable in the world we once felt at home in. We illicit an emotional response of fear to much of anything we come in contact with.

Helping those we love can be a draining task. Being patient is extremely rewarding, your partner and self will reap the benefits of such a gratifying experience.

The first step to helping a loved one is learning about Anxiety disorder; there are many resources online providing you with informative content on symptoms, causes and how to effectively combat the illness.

People suffering with anxiety experience multiple physical symptoms. Generally speaking, we are unable to relax and most often suffer from insomnia. Examples of the various symptoms are as followed: fatigue, trembling, muscle tension, headaches, irritability, or hot flashes.

People with this disorder tend to expect the worst; they worry excessively about money, health, family, or work, even in situations where there is no signs of trouble or danger.

Once you recognize and comprehend the causes and symptoms of anxiety, it will be easier to understand from the sufferers perspective and adjust to your world more accordingly.

More specifically, a few useful tips in how to help a loved one can be as easy as giving praise when a task is accomplished.

It is important to change your expectations. Understand that things they have done in the past are different now. Anxiety controls our body and minds, so adapting to change is vital to the success of good help.

Make sure you measure the progress of your loved ones disorder subjectively. Be sure to base it on individual improvement, as there is no standard to follow. Being more flexible is critical to coping and enables both parties to maintain a more regular routine.

 Having a loved one by our side can be the key to paving the road to recovery. It is not the cure but a gift knowing we are not alone in this that matters most.

Household items that should be on your Tresses :)

Household items now serve more than just a cooking purpose! Try these 5 foods to improve your long luscious tresses....

Baking Soda:  

Rinse your hair with baking soda once a week to REMOVE BUILDUP.
You can actually do this one of two ways: Add 2 Tbsp of baking soda to 3 cups of water. After shampooing, rinse with the baking soda water and then condition as you normally do. Or, if you have a way to keep your baking soda dry as you shower, put your shampoo in your hand (as usual) and then sprinkle a decent amount of baking soda on top of that. Then just wash your hair.
The baking soda will REALLY help clarify your hair and leave it shiny and silky – kinda like it’s brand new.
Who Should Use This: It’s okay for any hair type (especially if you only do it once a week), but it’s best served for people who have issues with hard water or product build-up, dull hair, or hair that just hangs out and doesn’t have much life to it.  

 

 

Eggs:  

You know those fancy shampoos you buy that run around with sparkly labels boasting “protein for strengthening” in them? Well, you can get the same effect just by washing your hair with eggs.  And egg yolks are nice and packed with vitamins A, D, and E – all great for shiny, healthy hair. To top it off, the fatty acids in eggs moisturize and condition like nothing else.

Much like the baking soda above, the quickest and easiest way to get the great egg effect for your hair is to add a beaten egg to your regular shampoo. Just whip up the egg and pour some shampoo in the bowl with it. Wash your hair as normal.Alternatively, you could whip up one or two eggs (depending on your volume of hair) and rub them into dry hair. Cover with a towel or shower cap and leave on 15 minutes before washing out. And please heed the note below. Note of Caution: I know it sounds ridiculous but if your water is too hot it can cook the eggs. Gross. So make sure the temperature is not TOO hot :)   
Who Should Use This: People who have brittle or delicate hair – or anyone just wanting to add luster, strengthening, and moisture.

Molasses or Maple Syrup:

Pour either of these things (you can dilute the molasses with water if it’s too thick to scrub in) on dry hair. Wrap with plastic wrap or cover with a good shower cap. Leave on for 20 minutes. Wash as you normally do. Note: Please use real maple syrup or molasses – none of this “mostly high-fructose corn syrup” crud. That’s not going to help much.

Who Should Use This: People with dry hair or anyone who wants a very hearty boost of moisturizing.
Bonus: Black strap molasses, taken internally (about 2 tsp a day) can help clear up acne and strengthen hair and nails. In fact, a couple of studies have shown that daily ingestion of black strap molasses may, in fact, help alleviate hair loss and even restore hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar:

It may smell a little funky at first, but the vinegar scent dissipates as the hair dries, and leaves behind a VERY pH balanced scalp, which equals a really healthy head of hair.
As a side note,You can take 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water once a day for about three weeks. Energy level will go up, and heartburn will disappear.
Add 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 2 cups of water. Shake well.
After using conditioner, just before hopping out of the shower, rinse your hair with the ACV mixture. You can either do one last rinse with water, or leave it in. As I said, the scent will disappear completely as it dries.
Take your vinegar rinse up a notch by boiling chamomile (for blonde hair), rosemary (for dark hair) or nettle (any hair color) in the water before adding the apple cider vinegar. (Just be sure to strain the herbs out before adding ACV.)
Who Should Use This: Anyone who wants a little extra clarifying or suffers from dandruff, oily scalp, or dullness. In addition, anyone who wants a little extra smoothing shine should try an ACV rinse.

Olive Oil:

In the list of foods in your kitchen that work on your hair, olive oil probably takes the cake. It’s a centuries-old remedy that has been largely forgotten – and needs to be revived. Right now. Just like your hair.

To moisturize and strengthen: Pop 1/2 cup of olive oil in the microwave for 15 seconds (or heat on very low for a few minutes) – just until it’s warm enough to matter, but not so hot that it burns your skin. Apply to damp (not dripping!) hair. Wrap with plastic wrap or cover with a warm towel. Leave this on for 20 minutes to an hour, and then shampoo out as usual.
To smooth and shine: Put a scant 1/2 tsp of olive oil in your palms and rub. Then apply to the top of your hair, moving downward.
Who Should Use This: Everyone! Olive oil is great for any hair type and helps with pretty much any issue you may have. If you have a lot of flyaways or split ends, the “smooth and shine” method will fix it like you wouldn’t believe.

Hope these work for ya'll!

"Falling in Love"

In my book I am currently reading, The Road Less Traveled", there is an interesting section about "Falling in Love". I just want to touch on it a bit and share some of it with everyone because I find it to be very interesting:

The writer begins by saying "When a person falls in Love what he or she certainly feels is "I love him" or "I love her." But two problems are immediately apparent. The first is that the experience of falling in love is specifically a sex-linked erotic experience. We do not fall in love with our children even though we may love them very deeply. We do not fall in love with our friends of the same sex- unless we are homosexually oriented-- even though we may care for them greatly. We fall in love only when we are consciously or unconciously sexually motivated. The second problem is that the experience of falling in love is invariably temporary. No matter whom we fall in love with, we sooner or later fall out of love if the relationship continues long enough. This is not to say that we invariably cease loving the person with whom we fell in love. But it is to say the feeling of ecstatic lovingness that characterizes the experience of falling in love always passes. The honeymoon always ends. The bloom of romance always fades."

interesting huh? Feels like I just crushed everyone's dreams doesn't it? Yeah that's what I thought the first time I read it and again when my teacher brought it up, but it is kind of true. We don't stay in that perfect state forever, they predict that that stage only "actually" lasts from 6 months to 80 months long. Weird huh? We fall out of the "in love" stage and fall into the "work" stage, the stage where we actually work for the relationship & realize it is not easy. Everyone, I don't care who you are, is very egocentric. We focus our worlds around us and only us, its all about me, am i not right? I mean when it comes down to it would you save the person next to you or yourself first in a crazy accident? Yourself. You would choose you.

The real crazy thing about falling in love and love in general is completely having to let this part of you compromise. You have to take a step back and realize that inorder to be in a relationship and have it work you have to give up some of that ego & be willing to not blame the things YOU choose to give up on the other person. You can not blame them for your choice of giving up something you love for them... Our egos have to be compromisable inorder to really make a relationship work. That is what you give up for Love.

Falling in Love is not an extension of one's limits or boundaries; it is a partial and temporary collapse of them. The extension of one's limits requires effort; falling in love is effortless. Lazy and undisciplined individuals are as likely to fall in love as energetic and dedicated ones. Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience. Falling in love is not.

We think once we have "fallen in love" we have reached the high of all highs when dealing with Love. But we haven't. REAL LOVE is actually beyond falling in love. It is everything into one. It includes the bad and the good, the sad and the happy, the tragic and the exciting.... So when people ask you have you fallen in love before? Yes, most likely you have....but have you found REAL LOVE, maybe not yet or maybe some of you have.... this is some pretty deep stuff & has changed my perspective on some things... maybe i'll change yours.

So go on Loving,

xoxo

1st Day back in the Big Apple!

Flight this morning was VERY EARLY but oh well.....
I was reading my book i was assigned in Psychology & it is so interesting. I have like over 20 little post its sticking out from it everywhere with good lessons on life & why some people are the way they are. Right now im on the LOVE section and it is beyond interesting.

 I am a person who is scared of confrontation, VERY scared of it. I think it partly has to do with one of my past relationships and because I'd rather push it under the rug than deal with it....well the section i read about today was about confrontation...What I took from it, & what others should too if your the same way as me is: We have to learn to trust, we have to learn that if we confront the ones we love they will not abandon us & if they do they are not worth OUR time.
I've met a wonderful person who has helped me so much lately with confrontation, he has had so much patience with me and he has literally helped me more than he has any idea! I sometimes think God sent him to me for soo many reasons...day after day he ceases to amaze me & he is so good at talking through things & calming me down. It's weird because now that I met him I can't remember my life before him because he has changed it in such a little amount of time. So whether he knows it or not I appreciate him daily, & if he reads this he knows who he is ;) & thank you.
I've learned that keeping it in is so much worse and unhealthy. I've sat down and thought about it & like we build so much frustration keeping things in and not telling people how we feel about something bothering us & it keeps building...we expect these people to read our minds and know what we are bothered about but NO, they never will UNTIL WE SAY SOMETHING. They can not fix the problem till they know what the problem is. I have to constantly keep that in mind....I have to realize not everyone handles confrontation like my ex & not everyone is going to blow up on me & in the end, IT DOES make everything better.

I feel recently and more and more everyday I am growing up so fast and maturing everyday. I feel for the most part i've became very grounded & for the most part I like the person I am becoming....


So today was very long and exhausting....
Being back in NYC has brought a lot to my mind like.... Why are people raised and brought up so differently?
Who brought the standard that it is ok to be rude to people for no reason? & where do these people learn it from? I am just so curious because people from Texas are known for being nice and friendly, where did people begin to cross that line? & where is that line?

In Chinatown today people were getting in a fight over folding t-shirts? & some guy was being hostile about his shirts over others. Why? Who knows....didn't your mom teach you any manners? ;)

But anyways besides that.....Texas got compliments today from the security guard at DASH, he asked me for us to take him back with us because people in Texas are so nice. Congrats Texans! haha

I had some more I wanted to say about the book but I can't remember at the moment & I am getting sleepy but tomorrow I will blog more about some of the important things I wanted to share with everyone about how we are....

Im off to bed now though I am soooo tired but I will post tomorrow my loved ones! & have pictures from the Gossip Girl Tour and Serendipity Restaurant!
Goodnight Ya'll :)

Photos from today :)

25 Secrets she wishes you knew ;)

I was reading through Men's Health Magazine and stumbled upon an article called "25 Secrets She Wishes You Knew" and i found it to be interesting and thought I would share it with the guys :)
I put a ( ) around my comments about certain ones, cause some of these are kinda crazy haha

1. Please Listen to Me. Not because what I'm about to say will rock your world, but because listening is a sign of respect that rocks my world
2. Women speak a different dialect than men. For example, "I'm fine" means "I'm so not fine." This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes it usually is accurate.
3. Remember, PMS stands for "physical and mental stress." So let me cry freely, behave irrationally, and eat your dessert. My mood swings are hormonal, not personal.
4. Manicures and Pedicures are a woman's gift to her man. I love looking pretty for you, the time I stop getting them done is when you should be worried. 
5. ALWAYS tell me when I look HOT, never tell me when I don't. And don't forget: I need 20 compliments to offset one thoughtless remark.
6. I remember the shirt you were wearing when you said "I Love You." The fact that you don't  makes me question if you meant it. (I personally think this one is kinda crazy, I would not expect a guy to remember that also considering the fact I probably won't remember either haha)
7. I loved you long before I told you. Playing the long game is in a woman's DNA. We don't throw a Hail Mary in the first quarter. (And you thought we didn't know football.) (Not sure if i agree with this one either...)
8. Of course your the best lover I've ever had. All others cease to exist when  you fall in love.
9. I'll NEVER tell you my TRUE number! Never, never, never...( I actually don't really agree with this one, one thing i feel about this subject is it shouldn't really matter what the number is, & if you REALLY want to know then I'll tell you.)
10.  I read your horoscope everyday. (kinda creepy)
11.  (This one was gay so i took it out )
12. Spontaneously kiss my neck from behind, and I might just let you stay back there for awhile.;)
13. Yes, My girlfriends know what we did last night, we share everything. 
14. Make me laugh and I'm Happy. Laugh at yourself and I'm all yours. 
15. A little jealousy is good if (a) no kneecaps are broken and (b) you don't cross-examine me to exhaustion. The right balance shows you care, and it's even flattering. 
16. I don't withhold sex to punish you. Sometimes I just need to be left alone but, at the same time, not left alone. And no, I can't explain that.
17. I can, will, and Do fake it. (ehhh not really) 
18. I love sex. With or without you, as Bono might say. My mind is filthier than you might think. 
19. You are irresistible: freshly showered, doing something sporty or strenuous, smiling, charming the old lady from the third floor, suited, reading the business section, DIY-ing . . 
20. "Do you want flowers?" kills the romantic gesture. Don't ask, just do  
21.  I'll probably be late—because I'm preening for you. At least that's how I reason. My reasoning skills are phenomenal! 
22. If you cheat, I may not break up with you. But you'll wish I had. 
23. I once kissed a girl and liked the taste of her cherry ChapStick. No, I didn't. That's your fantasy. Sincerely sorry. 
24. Here's how to fix what you're doing wrong in bed: When you go slow, go slower. When you go fast, go faster. 
25. I feel lucky to have you, and I hope you feel the same. You can't have it all unless you have someone to share it with.
     
     
    Interesting huh? Well I agree with some of these but some of them seem a little on the crazy girl side, or maybe to other girls they are normal? Hope you enjoyed it :)

Common Mistakes made while exercising...

So sometimes we push ourselves to do cardio after cardio and crunch after crunch when the whole time we could be making a little mistake that prevents us from getting the full potential! Lets talk about those common little mistakes we may make....

1. Women tend to use their neck muscles more than their abdominal muscles when doing crunches...
• Believe it or not we always tend to strain our necks more than men when we do crunches and there is a little helpful tip for this: Press your tongue flush against the roof of your mouth before starting your reps. It helps keep the strain off of your neck so your stomach is forced to do the work.
2. Some people try to stretch before a workout....
• The best way to warm up your muscles and prevent injury before going on a run or jumping on the Elliptical is to mimic the exercise at a low level. So get on the machine you're about to use, set it at the easiest level, and exercise for about five minutes. Then start to increase the level until you're at the desired speed or difficulty. This is way better than stretching, since it gets your heart rate 
3. Lifting the same weights every time...
• Many women are under the impression that using heavy weights equals bulking up, so they stick with 10 or 15-pounders and don't increase. But if you're using free weights or weight machines once or more a week, you should be slowly upping the poundage. Since your muscles build up resistance over time, aim to increase the weight by about five pounds every two or three weeks. As long as you can do 15 without feeling anything more than fatigue (as in, you're not shaking, panting, or about to pass out), you don't have to worry about ending up with arms that could be bulky. 
4. You do "real girl" push-ups
• Modified push-ups, lets get real, are usually made fun of but in this case its better for girls to do the modified than the hardcore version. When we tend to try to do them the real way we sometimes have bad form just because we are not like all guys and cant always be as "perfect" as them hah...So go on, do the modified style and ignore the smug look from the girl next to you who has her knees up. (She's probably doing them wrong anyway!) Plant your arms directly below your shoulders and keep everything from your knees to your neck in a straight line as you slowly lower yourself to the ground.
5. You eat a pre-workout snack
• Downing an energy bar before the gym can actually zap your energy. How come? Many of those bars are high in fiber, which is normally a good thing, but it takes forever to digest. And that digestion requires energy — energy that would be better spent on your muscles. You end up feeling sluggish and having trouble pushing yourself. If you're ravenous beforehand, opt for a banana, which is digested super quickly and won't inhibit your gym time.
6.  You stuff your face afterwards
• There is nothing wrong with an after-workout snack— in fact, it's recommended you get some protein and carbs in your system within an hour of working out. What you don't want is to totally undo all the hard work you just put in, which is extremely common. A recent study found that people tend to overestimate the number of calories burned and underestimate the number of calories consumed. To keep yourself from eating so much your workout becomes pointless, make sure you check the label of whatever you're eating and aim for something in the 150 calories or under range. 
7. You don't weigh yourself
• You might have been told not to worry about the number on the scale or heard that weighing yourself regularly is obsessive. But the scale is actually a key tool for ditching — and keeping off — fat. Experts have found that people who weigh themselves regularly lose more weight than those who don't. It could be because we can actually see the pounds come off (motivation to keep exercising) and we also get a concrete reminder that eating unhealthily for a week straight has consequences.

Hope these tips help :)

Letting You In....

So I wanted to write about GAD (General Anxiety Disorder), which those of you know me know i have this disorder. I want to talk about what it is and how it feels to be me EVERYDAY. I'll try my best to explain how I feel on a day-to-day basis because I know a lot of ya'll do not understand it. A lot of people tell me "I just don't understand, how come your nervous?" "It's not a big deal, just calm down." "How can you not control it?" & I know a lot of people think we are just bullshitting and using it as an excuse, believe me if it was an excuse I would be happy because if this was not really something I had then OMG I would think my lucky stars. I would give anything in this world to not have this disorder or deal with it every second of everyday! It can be frustrating and very crippling to your life, it can hold you back from a lot of things....

Lets define it first:
    GAD- Many people feel anxious, or nervous, when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. Anxiety disorders, however, are different. They can cause such distress that it interferes with a person's ability to lead a normal life.
    An anxiety disorder is a serious mental illness. For people with anxiety disorders, worry and fear are constant and overwhelming, and can be crippling.

Generalized anxiety disorder : This disorder involves excessive, unrealistic worry and tension, even if there is little or nothing to provoke the anxiety.

Symptoms: 

• Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness
• Uncontrollable, obsessive thoughts
• Repeated thoughts or flashbacks of traumatic experiences
• Nightmares
• Ritualistic behaviors, such as repeated hand washing
• Problems sleeping
• Cold or sweaty hands and/or feet
• Shortness of breath
• Palpitations
• An inability to be still and calm
• Dry mouth
• Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
• Nausea
• Muscle tension
• Dizziness

 So...there is a better understanding of the whole disorder....there is not much you can do to fix it either. It is all subconscious, I can tell myself that I am completely ok and that there is nothing to worry about but it doesn't stop my heart racing, my short of breath/panic feeling, my constant thought of the thing bothering me....Basically, telling myself it will be ok DOES NOT work. 

This is where I'll let you all know what it is like to be me and what is going through my head in situations should be interesting:
         Say that I just woke up from sleep, I get out of bed my first thought "what if someone is in my room" well no one is there..."I wonder what time it is, what if I overslept, what if I take a shower and something happens, what if something happened to my family overnight, what if I get hit by a car on the way to class, what if people judge the way I look today..." I'll stop there but I could keep going on and on and on about what goes through my head just as im waking up and getting in the shower. Now say i take my shower, & get ready.."I wonder what people will think of what I'm wearing, what if they think I'm fat, what if they hate my hair or my makeup..." etc. GAD NEVER LETS YOUR BRAIN STOP THINKING! Getting in the car I get very nervous, going to class=EXTREME NERVES, not knowing what we are talking about that day or what is going to happen in class that day puts me on edge. One weird thing that makes me nervous on campus is walking next to people, WHY you ask? I wish I knew. I would compare GAD to a HABIT, you do something over and over cause thats what you have always done and it gets to the point where you CANNOT HELP IT, exactly like GAD. I am usually always shaky, my heart is always racing, sometimes I sweat if I am extremely nervous, I feel like I am going to panic really fast, IT SUCKS!
          I handle it though because I have to. I am prescribed medication but I don't like to take it a whole lot because it makes me wayyy too mellow. So I try to take deep breaths and just keep going through my daily tasks. One way to describe what goes through my head is I always feel like EVERYONE is judging me constantly, or like when I see something such as this one time my friend Cara was trying to relate with me on this disorder, well we saw a bike thrown on the grass on campus with no one around it, this is dumb but she asked me if it made me nervous and I said YES, she asked why? I told her "seeing that bike like that makes me think the person got kidnapped like they were riding their bike and someone just stole them so thats why their bike is there." SOOO WEIRD I KNOW but its like my brain makes up scenarios in my head all the time. I also over analyze everything.

I dont know if this helps everyone relate better to me or if it just creeps you all out cause I could see that haha but I am trying to help people relate and put themselves in my shoes for a day.... Meeting me YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW i have this, hanging out with me YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW until i told you and was faced with something that became overwhelming. I have learned and trained myself to deal with it as best as I can. I continue to do little things to help me and better me and force me to put myself out there....I started this blog to help myself get better, I run marathons because running is what keeps me sane it is MY DRUG, I PURPOSELY raise my hand in class and speak out in class to overcome my nerves it increases my heart rate by a ton but I do it anyways....

For those of you I can't convince this is a real disorder, well im sorry try not to be so ignorant because when you tell me your sick I wont be convinced ;)

For the rest of you I hope this helps you all understand and take people like me a little bit more serious when they tell you they feel panic or are nervous...

I am not asking anyone to feel sorry for me or to be careful or tip-toe around me but I do ask you acknowledge this is real and I do hope it gives you all a better understanding.... I work on it everyday & I'll continue to work on it & I WILL BE OK! I have been so far :)

Feel free to comment or ask me questions....

love love love,

Being HALF Vegetarian....

Happy Friday Everyone!
    So I was, once again, reading articles from Self Magazine and found something I would like to try and I think if you are able you should try also :) So everyone, for the most part, loves meat. I love chicken, I should probably eat more red meat but you know how that goes... A man named Chris Elam blogged about having "meat free Mondays", what you do is either every Monday or two days a week you eat no meat that day and only veggies.... It seems pretty easy and possible.

"Going veggie just two days a week can deliver noticeable health, environmental and financial benefits, but it's not so big a change that you'll feel overwhelmed," says Kate Geagan, R.D., author of Go Green Get Lean. The key is getting the nutrients you need on your two no-meat days while also satisfying your hunger and pleasing your taste buds.

Eat up my friends :) 

Stay in touch and let me know if your taking on the challenge, I'll be right there with you!! 

A Glass of Wine a Day keeps the Doctor Away :)

Ok, so everyone who knows me KNOWS I am a Complete Wine-O! So I thought I'd give my advice on my favorite wine that EVERYONE should try at least once, promise you won't be disappointed!

I LOVE Moscato Wine...
    If I had to give an opinion on which ones to get I would suggest:

1. Cheap Price: Sutter Home Moscato Brand (found almost everywhere for around $5 a small bottle & $10 a huge bottle)  
2. In-between Price: Messina Hoff Angel Riesling (Riesling is usually a little bit more bitter than moscato but the Angel Riesling is A-MA-ZING!, this bottle runs for about $15 at specs in specific areas. If you run into a specs you should ask and see if one near you carries it!) If you are in the College Station area, then you know you can purchase it at our Specs or the Winery itself Messina Hoff in Bryan! My Personal Favorite!
3. More Expensive Price: Castello del Poggio Moscato D'Asti (this one is usually found at Specs, it runs for about $20)

 Let the Happy Hour Begin!

Nike Livestrong Air Max 2011...

So I am hearing nothing but phenomenal things about Nike's BRAND NEW 2011 Air Max....I need to try some of these for running....

The Benefits:

• Fuse technology and a notched inner sleeve for lightweight, flexible support and seamless comfort
• Cushlon foam for lightweight cushioning
• Full-length Max Air unit for plush impact protection and a smooth ride
• Flex grooves in forefoot for enhanced articulation and flexibility
• Solid rubber out-sole with strategically placed lugs for durable traction

I really want the YELLOW ones of course :) If you know me you KNOW that's my favorite color!!

Summer's coming, be body ready :)

So in a recent "Self Magazine" article I read about some cellulite-fighting foods!

"Items with lots of water in them like tomatoes will help skin stay supple and healthy. Colorful veggies are loaded with vitamin C, which is essential to preventing collagen breakdown. And whole grains, such as brown rice, help keep your blood sugar stable, avoiding insulin spikes that signal your body to store fat rather than burn it. Happy Shopping!!"

• Apples
• Brown Rice
• Bulgur
• Celery 
• Cucumber
• Grapes
• Kiwi
• Oatmeal
• Oranges
• Papaya
• Popcorn
• Red bell peppers
• Tomatoes
• Watermelon

Try to incorporate these in your meal decisions :) 
Here comes summer!

New beginnings...

So..this is my first blog EVER and I have no idea what im doing but I really wanted to start one just because and also because a lot of people always ask me what's going through my head and so maybe this will give ya'll better insight. I've questioned how intense I'm going to get on this thing, will I let it all go or will I keep myself somewhat guarded? It all depends...don't tempt me to blog about you like social network haha jk jk I don't wish to cause any harm to anyone on this thing. I think I'll mainly use it to communicate about my days and passions such as running and fashion or marketing...A lot of people ask me what to do when they want to train for their first run whether it be a 5k, half marathon, or whole marathon.... well I will try to use this thing to communicate some helpful tips....I have a runners section on the blog along with my "Obsession of the week" item that is either a steal or a fun item I absolutely love....I am just going to be completely random on this thing and see where it goes, I would LOVE for people to start following :) I'll try to stay interesting ;)

peace and blessings,
Jenna Lyne
