Diet - Green juice with all the greens

shake

2 apples and brazilian nuts

radishes, cucmbers, zuccinini

sunflower seeds

celery, beet and carrot juice

big salad with avocado, carrot, sprouts, some fat free dressing

workout – am 30 minutes of cardio stairmaster and running pm – 35 min run/walk and sauna

Body - Is good. My stomach was still a bit off. It might be getting close to that time of the month!? Not sure! Maybe it is nerves about the upcoming contest! I feel good though, haven’t gotten my sleep, but I am running on pure adreneline that is for sure. I have noticed when fun and adventure are in my life, I don’t get that tired!!!

Mind – I love to to have fun! My mind eases when I am laughing! I can sometimes get too serious. I was talking with Evan White about how I could incorporate “eating the dog” into my routine! It is actually going to be a really cool thing we are doing! I am excited about it! Who would of thought that I would be in this craziness with these awesome people with the Hitch50 peeps!! But, here I am on another adventure!

Soul – My soul feels peaceful. It is so awesome to be here in cali and by the beach tonight was just incredible! There is something magical about the ocean!! I am a kid at heart who loves to play! I just need some really cool playmates around the world! I don’t feel like we are suppose to take things so drama like. There seems to be so much heaviness in the world, and sometimes on my heart. I think as a society we pick up that energy and we start to take it on like it is our own. It isn’t. We are meant to play. laugh. celebrate. love and live. That is where I am at right now.

I am feeling… thrilled, anxious, creative and adventurous

Magic, Miracles, and Serendipitous Moments… There has been a lot today… I met Evan – he is just as funny in person as he is on the phone. craziness that I would meet him but I did! lol i love my life. I found a 5 of diamonds card in the parking lot as I was leaving last night. My favorite number and diamonds, it’s a good sign!! I had some great insight on “eat the dog”!  Which is if I eat a tofurkey dog on stage of my contest, Scotty and Fiddy will pay for me to fly to the last state of their roadtrip. I think we came up with a really creative idea for the show! Funny, I was wondering how I was going to explain my costume and then, here I am with a great idea to go with it, eating the dog!

I am grateful for… My life, laugher, and transportation

Final thought for today.. I am ready for a good night sleep. I am blessed to be here. I am thankful for everyone who has supported me and love me through all of my ups and downs. I realize that it is all about living for the moment. Yet, planning for the future, but never not doing something out of fear. Always look for the good, in everything and how you can win in every situation!

Sweet Dreams!

Diet – Green Juice and Your my everything greens

Apple and Kombucha Tea

Shake

Tonic – Coconut Meat

Big handful of grapes and almond milk essential light, lecithin

1 raw egg a Big Yummy Salad with tomato, red pepper, parsley, mixed greens, 3 green olives, with balsamic dressing

hot cocoa with stevia

Workout – am Ran 3.7 miles this morning. It was a bit tough for me today.

pm Gym Training with Abs – I didn’t want to go and workout but when I got in there and started to workout I ended up being in there for like an hour and 15 minutes. I did an all over workout. Then I did the stairmaster for 8 minutes intense and ran and 800 cool down on the track! Felt really really good!

Body – My body was tired this morning. I was struggling through my workout. But, I made it through!! I felt like my skin looked a lot better today. I think that I was maybe having too much honey, too much sugar for me just doens’t work for me natural or not! Also, I have noticed that my stomach likes smaller portions. I have been eating more frequently and not eating  big meals! I like this better, I feel lighter and more efficient throughout the day!

Mind – I was looking at some issues around finances and making money and where I will live for the next year. I haven’t worked for someone in like 4 years. I mean really I have pretty much been self employed or I had somewhat of a flexible schedule. It always just worked out really well. I know where I am going, it was just a bit of like hmmm ok you better get going missy on what your creating. That is all. I feel good about where I am… I love the challenge of being able to create jobs or projects I like to call them. I was a bit stopped for a bit of today. But, I am back on it! Some of my projects are going to be on hold for the next 2 week as I will be getting ready for the show and I will also be in California!

Soul – I am really connecting to my values, what my purpose is, and where I want to go! Where I want to spend my time. What calls to my soul. What I want to learn and why I want to learn these things. There is just a lot of clarity today around many areas in my life. Things that I know are very dear to me that I will stand for, somethings that are not that dear to me that don’t inspire me. It is all trial and error. Sometimes my mind is run by fear and that I can’t change my mind on certain things, or doing things differently.. It is like my mind has it that there needs to be a way and one path and get on it.. LOL! Yeah that is really how it works. I just test things. I say this sounds good, do it, does it feel good. Is this something that I want to learn more about or not? If so then I learn and I go through the process.. To some people that I am doing things new all the time.. Which is somewhat true, and it is perfect, I gain insight knowledge for every new thing I try. I also get more and more clarity on who I am in this world… This is a defining period of my life. I know what my vision and I see it daily. But at the same time there is still a lot of inner work to be done. There is a lot more clarity to really expand into that vision.

I am feeling… a bit unproductive, resisting something’s, and I felt a bit of fear today, and then also a new level of excitment for the show and for what I am doing…

Magic, Miracles, Serendipitous Moments…. Hmmmm what happened today.. I know that I woke up today and haven’t been running outside and thought you know what I think I want to run, and the weather was beautiful it was a perfect day for a good run outside!! I had a great conversation with my friend Karen. She is so supportive of everything that I do. I adore her…. Miracle that I got myself to the gym tonight because I wasn’t feeling like it! I was at the gym and ran into my parents doing ballroom dancing there, how cute is that.. lol

I am grateful for…. I am grateful for my ability to push my body to new limits, I am grateful for dreams, and inspirations, I am grateful for passionate leaders and mentors in my life. I am grateful for computers!

Final thought for today…. You know there is a part of me that downplays what I am doing as far as competing. There aren’t that many woman that would be up for getting up on a stage in a swimsuit, or even train like I have trained and put this much effort into it. But, today I was just shaking it off like it was no big deal. It is a big deal, I have put a lot of work into this show, and a lot of work on my personal development that is pretty amazing. I have gotten a lot out of this whole process that is for sure! I also have gotten new ideas, and new dreams and it has been worth it. So, I am not going to allow myself to act like it isn’t a big deal. I have wanted to compete and win for so long now. I am taking ownership in my dreams…… Today  I declared myself an athlete. I am not just training just to train, I live my day and make choices like an athlete would!! So, there you have it! AJ is an athlete, livin a rockin healthy lifestyle!!

I see women pushing to talk about the relationship, pushing to be right, to push and pull a man into the way that they think they should be… Men like to solve problems, they want to conquer and if we continually give them a reason to feel that they are not achieving, they are not solving, we are weakening them and their energy. We have so much power as women.. We don’t even realize it sometimes I don’t think. If we awakened to this spirit we would love the man and we would work together with him in partnership for more meaningful purposes to work on solving rather than.. “I can’t believe you looked at her that way, You didn’t say that right, You never do that for me, You just don’t get it..” I mean we put so much time putting men down…. That it can be hard for them to really come alive and be the man they were destined to be…

Granted I am not saying that men are angels. ! They have their own issues to work through.. But, what if we as woman honored a man and stood behind them like they could solve the world and work in partnership. Rather than me against you, women against men, men against women. There is this separation. What if, yes, we did stick together as women and men, but we worked together to create this amazingly different experience. There is something creative, powerful and beautiful when the masculine and feminine energy merge for greater purposes!!

My thought today is that we just need to lighten up on men. Be true to who we are, I am not saying allow them to do whatever they want to do and be a door mat. I am saying just stand in a place that he is a man of honor, that he is a man of strength, courage, love. If we stood in that place of expecting the men in our lives to show up that way. My thought is that everyone’s world would change and the relationships between men and women might start to look a bit different.

Sometimes women nowadays are trying to take it all on, being this and that and this and that. And, men want to be needed, and useful, if we don’t give them the opportunity we weaken them.. So, if you have a man give him some good love, thank him for being there for you, if you don’t have a man, I say just start to observe how you interact with men. Is it always on what they don’t do? If so, start to shift it to how great they are, and just love them exactly the way they are, and watch them start to show up with a new energy!! Cheers to feminine and masculine power!

Diet -  apple

spinach, kale, parsley and a little bit of apple juice

rawfood granola bar and kombucha tea

4 oz of Salmon

Tonic and Mango and Grapes

Avocado, 5 olives, cut up coconut and honey – I guess I wanted some fat!

Workout – am body power class at 7:30 am

5:30 10 50 yard sprints, ran 1 mile, and jump rope – workout was about 45 minutes

Body – I felt really really great this morning. It seems to me the lighter I eat the more energy I have, and the stronger I am… I know everyone tells me what to do, what to eat, but for me I am just doing what feels right, not what worked for them… So, if my body feels like some avocado I am going to give it some. The next two weeks will probably be a bit stricter with 10 days left till I get on a stage!! I checked my weight the other day, we are making some progress. Feeling and looking better everyday!

Mind – I am just questioning a lot today. On how I see people live their lives, how they look, how they feel… And really how I want to live my life. What is truly important to me? What drives me? What motivates me? I am also a bit nervous about the contest there isn’t a lot of time, and I feel like there is a lot of preparation to get done before I head to LA!!! I wanted to shutdown a bit today and not even think about all that needed to be done!! But, that doesn’t get me to far, so I just got to planning…

Soul – I feel that I just keep revealing more of who I am on a daily basis. It is an unfolding of what I am all about.. When all the mind “stuff” gets worked through, and I let go.. There is a space for me to just “be”! It is a good feeling! It doesn’t get any recognition in the outside world! By me being internally happy does serve the world, just not always the ego! Inner work is crucial to getting in tune with who I am and then creating from that deep place, not from a superficial place!

I am feeling….. a wee bit stressed…. Ummm what else is there for me? I am feeling excited and nervous about many things!

Magic, Miracles, and Serendipitous…. My mom called me and told me to take the back way to get home. I didn’t get the message until I got home. But, for some reason I took the back way home, haven’t done it actually since I have been here. I got her message though! I was wanting to get my girlfriends email address and phone number and she randomly emailed me. perfect thanks! I was thinking about Joelle and she then called me 10 minutes later… I said I need to call Joan and she called me…..Lots of little serendipitous moments today….

I am grateful for….. my parents love. I am grateful for all of my friends. I am grateful for people who are willing to give. I am grateful for people who are committed to living a life on purpose, with passion, and with love.

Final thought for the night… I feel myself expanding…. in the next moment I feel myself contracting… I can feel this in my mind and also in my body.. It is just the process. I am trusting my inner voice rather than what the world tells me… The world is a great mirror but it is only one way to look at things.. There is always a new way to increase your awareness, change your perception.. I am working on this daily.. I am loving myself, I am loving others, and continually walking my path, my truth.. It may not look like it is the “right” direction to some people.. But, it is indeed me finding my way back to myself, listening to that still voice inside of me that is my best guide that never leads me astray only leads me to the riches of the world!!

It was such an eye opener for me. At what point did we get so old that now all we do is walk or jog slowly? When did we get so old, and so boring and dull? The kids are so alive, they bring joy and excitment and fun! I mean yes you can look at it strictly from an excercise point of view.. That one should engage in more dynamic workouts to be more agile and alive like the kids. But, also on a deeper level, it is like as we get older we aren’t allowed to play. We are told to color in the lines, told not to laugh too loud, we are told that this is what we do when we get older. This is the way the world is…..

I don’t buy it…Kids are our greatest teachers to run and to play with them can be one of the most freeing to our spirits! It was so funny I was doing sprints and a jump rope workout and the kids all kept coming by me and smiling and watching me. They were shocked to see an adult playing like them hopping on one foot! So, anyways, it was just an observation that I saw and one that was so clear to me tonight.!! A major ah-ha! Life isn’t that serious and it can be as simple as skipping, laughing and racing each other other just for the fun of it!

We get to make the rules on if we are going to run in the lanes of the track and keep going round and round, or are we going to dance, sing, skip, crawl on the ground, and just do what feels natural to our bodies, and be FREE!

I am all about the freedom baby!

Diet – Greens Drink 

Shake

Pear

10 Almonds

Grapefruit

Juice with Apple, Lemon, Ginger, Wheatgrass then 30 minutes later a Salad with avocado and veggies and vinaigrette dressing

Workout – Took the day off, did some sightseeing walking..

Body – I thought my body would be sore, but I felt really good today. I actually wanted to take a class at the gym but we didn’t get back in time. I am really in tune with my body right now I feel. I also feel like I am really listening to when and what my body needs for food. I am working through certain ways I have trained myself to eat for certain diets, different experts, this that and the other and just saying what feels good to me. That is all training for the show is all about.. finding out what feels good in my body

Mind – I was nervous for my test, in which I didn’t do very good. There is a belief there for me around taking tests, it is so funny. I am not sure what it is about them,  but I freak out a bit, and I make it mean so much… It’s just a test!! So, that is how my day started, but for 90% of the day my mind had a sense of ease and peace. A lot of time during the day, I am working business ideas in my head, where to go next, and what I need to do, it is like it is running on high gear. But, today being around such an amazing group of people just enjoying each other, laughing and having a good time, my mind seemed to slow down a bit and not be in the type A mode.. This I like!

Soul – The power of community, connection, love, and service. This is what this weekend was all about for me. I gained some great knowledge and insight this weekend. But for me it was really seeing the power of just helping other people, and creating a culture for people to come and be themselves, to grow, to push themselves, to become healthier, to be more efficient in this amazing body. The body is the vehicle to the soul, and my soul is happier when my body is happier!! I had some incredible stimulating conversations today, and it was a fresh breath of air to know that the way that I see the world, the way that I desire to live my life, isn’t abnormal, there are people out there who see this bigger vision of love and generosity.

I am feeling… taken care of today, like everything is all good, and always will be all good…

Magic, Miracles, and Serendipitous Moments…..The day was just one magical day that just flowed. I had an encounter with one of the men from the course and we had this great talk, he was just a mirror for me, I was a mirror for him. There was so many similarities on our path, where we are going, why we do what we do. It was just so beautiful. The sun was shining and the company was just refreshing! Two of the men from the group paid for lunch and for dinner for everyone. The power of giving and receiving was in full circle today in many ways. And, also some wonderful soul bought a tea for me. I am a simple woman, tea, some good food, and a good conversation, with the sun, with the good air, with wonderful people around me, with smiles, with laughter, with touch, with hugs.. I am good…

I am grateful for.. Jon Hinds, the Monkey Bar, everyone in the course. I am grateful for my body, I am grateful for my mind, I am grateful for my heart that was moved in many ways today…

Final thought today..The more that I get to know people in the world, the more that I become the woman I desire to be, or more so the woman that I know myself to be. My perception of the world is divine. I embrace the love, I feel the joy, and I experience the moment in a whole new and enriching way. This is where I was today… Blessed for my life, blessed for awareness and open for receiving all the good the world has to offer, and just continue to give back all that I have to offer in whatever way that looks…. Life is good, yes indeed, very good. Lots of love! xo ~ aj

Diet - Super loaded greens drink

shake

spinach, kale, apple, and parley juice & a yummy salad with olive oil and vinegar

handful of almonds

essential light drink, apple and then a raw granola bar

Workout – Yoga class and then trained all day at the course, intense dynamic exercises!

Body- My body is sore.. But feels open and just really loved the training today. There is so much that is available from our bodies. WoW. When we tune in with it. I am also realizing that if I am aligned and structurally balanced I can be really strong and powerful and functional in my movements and in my training. My body has been suffering with my training in the past, so this opens up a whole new world for me as a born again athlete. lol, that is what I am going to call it! Also, my feet are happy, how do I know? They told me so!

Mind - I am really separating from my mind in a good way. I  heard I think it was Wayne Dyer say that there comes a time when your illusion of separateness is shattered. This has been my struggle, in my own head. Never feeling like I fit in, and never feeling like this was it, and always feeling separate. Whether I felt inferior or superior there was just this separateness. I think the true mental mastery is to train our minds that we are one, that I am you, you are me. When we get to the point the mind will still do it’s thing, but we can just allow it to go and then we can Consiously choose to KNOW we are ONE! That is what my mantra is because a lot of times I can feel myself getting scared, doubting myself, all the while I just tune in, I center and I know and the space lightens. It is beginning to be quite fun!

Soul – My soul is… She has been knocking for awhile now… I have been searching for something sometimes outside of myself. Yes, teachers and mentors are awesome. I have been SO BLESSED to have angels in my life… But there comes a time when you just open up the door on the inside, and let that power rush from you. It is there, I have heard the knock on the door for years.. I am slowly opening that door! Sometimes my mind and my ego get in the way and then the door is slammed shut in my face! But, it is all a process I am growing and evolving to stay in the space of love, transformation, healing and peace, and play of course!

I am feeling.. centered, a bit sore, open, receptive and loving

Magic, Miracles, and Serendipitous Moments…I just said to myself I wish I had a piece of gum and then 1 second later someone came up to me and offered me a piece of gym… hell yeah, I take a piece of gum, thank you! I wanted to eat at the co-op today and someone suggested we all go there.. Yes, I am in! At the co-op I went to the bathroom, and there was a chalkboard on the wall… So, I wrote I love you! Your Amazing on it! It was so much fun to think of someone walking in there and reading it, then hopefully they will get a smile on their face, and feeling their amazingness – not a word but I like it! lol Also, got an email from kle. Every time I hear from this man, my heart is touched in such a deep and powerful way, it always brings tears and a rapid pounding of my heart!! There will always be magic between us, that is just the way it is!!

I am grateful for…People, openness, and vulnerability and laughter

Final thought for today…..It is amazing I have spent two days with people from all over the world and yet we all find connection. By the end tonight we feel we “know” each other, there is a relatedness… It is just so beautiful, coming from different cultures and different ways of life, that we can come together, laugh, train, learn and grow also leave the weekend wishing we had more time to spend with each other. Everywhere I go I fall in love with people, it is a good good world we live in…… Good Night! XO

Where I am…I am… I am always saying good aren’t I? Most of the time I really am good. With what I know of how the world works, I choose to be good and happy most of the time. There are times when I don’t feel all that great but they are far and between…. I am actually listening the 80′s right now.. Gotta love the 80′s.. I am in the space…. of anticipation for a lot of things.. I am excited about ideas, plans… Today my head was in the space of sensuality, and sexuality. I want to live my life full of sensuality. Sometimes that can be misinterpreted of being sexual. It can and it is.. But more just so in tune with my senses, that to me is living sensually. So, that everything that I do, can be so riveting.. That nothing goes unnoticed. That my eyes see and feel it all. That my ears are open, and that my sense of touch is so in the moment that the brush of a hand is amazing…. I want to see the world as being magical. I feel that sensuality can be a door for that magical kingdom.

Diet – Green Drink and Apple

Shake

Almond Milk, Essential Light and Lecithin & Go Raw Bar

Orange

Apple, Kale, Parsley, and Spinach Juice

Salad with a little bit of olive oil and balsamic

Workout - Money Bar Body Power Class – LOVE IT!

Body – I woke up easy today and I felt light and lean in my body today. I think I can live on green juices. lol ok well maybe not but I am really loving them… I am noticing when foods are not working so well for me. I am becoming more and more sensitive. I enjoy it! I love to train! I also see there is a lot of work to be done with my body. A work in progres…..

Mind - My mind can sometimes not love to train. If I don’t just go and workout I just won’t do it. But, when I do it and I move, it opens up a whole new me. So, working out and being in an environment that is moving, that is good for my mind. It is healthy! I am strong in my head, and getting more and more clear on where I am going everyday. Working on not judging, and just trusting and taking action… My mind was in sexual frame of mind, and I notice how much I resist that in my head… Working on just allowing it…..whatever it is in my head don’t resist and judge, just allow… doesn’t mean I have to act on all of my thoughts.. oh heaven’s no, watch out world!

Soul - My soul is opening up.. Something that I got today was that I don’t have to do everything. That everyone has their own gifts. Sometimes I can feel threatened or not wanting to give because my mind worked hard to get that information. But, if no one shared, then no one would grow. So, I want to do whatever I can to give to the world. If I have knowledge and I have gifts to give to the world, it does me no good to sit around and not do anything that information…. Also, I am so in tune with what I believe in my life now that it is like I can’t do anything unless I truly love it. I mean does it speak to my heart, can I feel it in my heart, if not then it is just a bit of a challenge for me to get truly into it!!

I am feeling.. grateful, inspired, and loving, and connected and a wee bit unclear in some areas like where I am going to live!

Magic, Miracles, and Serendiptous Moments… I randomly went into this women’s touch store which is all about sexuality, sensuality and woman. It was a GREAT store, I loved it…. They had fun romantic things, then they had sex toys, and books and videos…. It was just good. Miracle that I found the monkey bar gym, and John Hinds. I had a lot of little magical moments all day, simple things, birds flying, generous smiles, delightful conversations, the cold on my face today even felt really good.. I am starting to see so many things as magic and miraculous, that it is just the flow of my life!

I am grateful for… LOVE, passion, the human body, mind and spirit.

Final thought for today… What just popped into my head was that we are struggling with Obesity in the world. And many people correlate food with love.. Yes the food is an issue, too much garbage, and too much in portion sizes, and processed food, sugar… yes that is an issue but also looking deeper… we are in need of more love in the world. love in our inner world, in our lives, in our community and nation…. extension and expansion… That is what Jon was saying today about the body.. But what if we took this into our lives… Continue to reach out and extend yourself to help the world, to expand yes your body, but also your mind, and your life, and evolve into the goodness that you were meant to be…. There are so many metaphors for the way that we live our lives and what shows up in our bodies, and minds… So final thought is be conscious!!
