Tuesday After Labor Day

It's been a while since I posted last.  My goal is to write in daily.  I went to a pool class this morning and a short walk in the evening.  I had two pastries today.  Hopefully that will be the last for a long while.  I went on a 15 day raw food cleanse June 1-15 and a 14 day raw food cleanse August 1-14 followed by a 7 day juice feast that I had to stop 5 days in due to digestive issues.  I was hoping to do another 14 day raw food cleanse September 1, however vacation plans, etc, kept me from doing it.  I felt fantastic eating raw, so I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of that.  Since it is the height of the vegetable harvest, here where I live in Connecticut, I made a huge batch of tomato sauce on Sunday and I am cooking up some more vegetables to make a kind of ratatouille.  For sure I would like to go raw again by October 1 or sooner.  Well, we'll see.  In the meantime, eating healthy will be my focus.  Enough with the sugary treats!

August 21, 2010

So this is my first blog.  I plan on writing mostly about my journey to improved health habits, although my opinions about current events may also enter the picture.  It's about 10 AM and I am about to go for my morning walk.  The temperature is nice and cool out, so I am looking forward to it.  I started walking this spring and have made a lot of progress as far as speed and distance.  I can now go around my "block" in 25 minutes.  At least that is my best time so far.  It used to take me about 50 minutes with a lot of standing still to catch my breath.  So this is a huge improvement.  Well off to walk now...
