Things I love for $1000 Alex

So I have had several people ask where I get my leggings, my diet(which is a dirty word to me)  which yoga I do and what the deal is with the cupcakes. Find those answers here!

First the easiest answer. The Cupcake thing came way back from when I did RPG. Now, if you are one of my family members, or real world friends chances are you have no idea what that is. I do online Role Play Games. It is where the idea of my books came from. Anyways, in 2008 someone called me a Killer Cupcake. Because I could be sweet, but I was also lethal when crossed. It stuck. Plus have you ever been sad while eating a cupcake? Ummm NOOO! NO! No you have not!

Next, the Leggings. I honestly pick them up everywhere. But some of my favorite places are on Amazon. I am obsessed with Amazon. If you can get an Amazon Prime account, you must do it simply for the benefits of shipping! My Motivated, Ganesha and Snow White leggings came from Amazon. While my rose and tropical leggings were $3 steals from a little place called Rue 21. The same goes for my Tank Tops. Most of them I find on Amazon. But some of my favorites I have gotten thanks to an amazing site called FlexitPink.com which is designed to help motivate women. It is also where I sign up for my Virtual 5Ks.

And last but certainly not least. My Yoga obsession. That actually came from way back in rehab. They taught me meditation and yoga in 1999. But I never used it. Then I started to gradually get the hang of it over the years. I would drop it and pick it back up. When I converted to Buddhism I got more involved in my meditation, and found Yoga to be a natural fit. Though again, let it slide. So when I decided to really commit I picked the first Yoga video I saw on Youtube. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did for myself. I do Yoga By Candace. She has apps for your phone, Youtube videos etc. And you can start with easy things like just learning to breathe and beginning Yoga, to Flow (which is what I do) and Power Yinyasa Yoga.

BONUS ROUND: Everyone asks me like daily, what diet I follow. Well, to lose the first 80 pounds I did it on no more than 1400 calories a day. And to lose this last 30 I am not on a diet.  I follow the Fit Girls Guide lifestyle, though I still keep my caloric intake under 1400. Which means I drink approximately a gallon of water a day. I do not eat added sugar or sugar supplements. I stay away from ALL soda. Diet soda is still soda. And that’s it. Not that hard. If you want more info on that, fitgirls.com is where to go, but I am always bragging about it on my Instagram so it’s no secret! ijrnKpR61wMru
