At last...

            -At times it seemed like It was never gonna happen. But time and stubbornness have prove me wrong.

Hi my name is Ileana and I'm  HAPPY to say I'm an Illustrator. Welcome to my world. Pensamiento Street is the space that I use to show you my artwok. There'd be at least one post a day five days a week ( and probably during the weekends too... if there is time.) It is very exciting to be sharing my artwork as I start to walk down these new  roads. Let this post also be an invitation to you all to get in touch. Write me a line anytime. You'd make me the happiest gal ever.

 I hope that you like what you'd see here.  I cant wait to make something beautiful for YOU.

-Hubo momentos en los que parecía que nunca iba a ocurrir. Pero el tiempo y la testarudez me han demostrado que estaba equivocada.

On the 10th day

Hello to you all. Well, here it is, I made thorugh my first days of training. Was it hard? you bet! was it super painful ?? YES! but after the third day it got easier because my muscles got  used to the new routine, now my body is being kinder to me and i'm enjoying it so much more. I have noticed a subtle  change in my body after only ten days. As you can see I'm wearing the same clothes as in the first day and they fit differently. I've also noticed that I have a lot more energy. In other words I'm more than happy with the decision I made. I know most of the time we wanna give up because let's face it, it hurts like hell, but taking day by day, step by step I promise you'll get there!!!

Thanks for stopping by and please, please stick around for what's to come.

XO, Ile.

on getting started

Fact: I've been a lazy couch potato ever since  I can remember. 

I spent many hours of my life sitting on my  lazy ass watching for days and days complete seasons of my favorite series feeling sorry for myself, wishing for better days, better clothes and self love. it took many years for me to actually take action and do what it was best for me. This month I'm celebrating my second year as a vegan, for me it was the best decision that I  ever made. why did it take me so much timeto make a change? Who knows...?  it could have been a number of things like lack of conviction or I was just simply playing to be the victim. The truth is that veganism was the fisrt step to take control of my life. It's been a journey that I'm so happy to have started. Since  I made the change from couch potato to vegan, life has change for the best,

Veganism has totally take me to where I want to be in terms of health, body image and ethics but I'm  now ready to go from skinny to fit. (which I believe to  be the next step).

Today is day 1 of my freeletics training,  What I like about this training is that you don't need any especial equipment, you work with your own bodyweight and you can do it at the comfort of your home or at the park, you can do it by yourself or with others, but to me its about competing with myself because I can be my worst enemy.

I'll be posting my progress every ten days. let's get started.
