Weekly Video Blog #2

I made a big error in the video...oh no! My actual weight today is 245.8!!! Ok...so now it's in print. I've told the whole world. There are times in my life when being brutally honest is necessary. This is one of those moments. I'll post my measurements tomorrow.

Stacey, over at the Green Smoothie Blog, and I have been blender buddies for quite some time now. We're keeping tabs on each other and holding each other accountable to the process! Thanks Stacey!

Thanks for watching and reading. Please leave your comments. I'd love to hear from you.

Sending love to all!

One of those days, one of those feelings

Ever had a day inwhich you'd really like some evidence that there is more to this world than the four walls around you? Or, that in the manner of what happens in the next few moments or hours, unless life and death...really isn't life or death in magnitude!

So...totally not on program I thoroughly enjoyed lunch out with a friend where we ate some heavenly Italian food! I did NOT over indulge and we both passed up on dessert. I felt full afterwards but not stuffed.

So does it hurt my detox process? Probably set it back some but in the scheme of my life, this is not tragic, traumatic or life threatening. Now, of course, over the span of a few weeks, months and yes years, this could be quite sad indeed. But to have one lunch like this really is not a big deal.

I enjoyed the company, the ambiance and the food! Life is good. I am getting stronger and better every day. Raw or not, meat or no meat...many calories or few, I am in control of my life. It is my decision.

Today I choose a different path. Tomorrow??? The intention is set for a great and wonderful day! How about you??

Let me know what's on your mind.

Day 2

So far so good. Day 2 is moving along well, just as it should be. Way too much snow though. I had no idea how much had fallen since the night of the 31st! Wow! It all looks so beautiful but not nice to get around in. The roads are slick but so far everyone is driving appropriately.

Ok..enough of the weather. Guess I'm like most Canadians in that I like to chat about the weather.

Actually the weather really does effect how I feel. I try not to let it happen but with little success. When it's cold and dark I tend to want to stay indoors, nest and snuggle. I hunker down.

When it's bright, sunny, even a bit cold, I have more energy and joy.

May be it has some scientific basis...the moon, the air pressure etc.

What ever the cause is I know I AM in control of my OWN life and I make the decisions.

So through whatever weather patterns are coming my way in 2010 I am committed to standing firm. I am happy and am resolved to be my personal best.

Off to enjoy a green smoothie and figure out how much fun I can have playing in the snow!

It's Anniversay Day!!

I'll take a break from writing about my raw food journey for today......

This month has just flown by!! I have a much quieter week ahead of me but for today I'm excited to be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. We were married at about 7:45 pm AK time, on the 21st. The shortest day of the year. This marks a huge turning point for anyone living in the far north. There is such promise with the return of the light. Where many count the days to Christmas, I count the days til Spring!!

My time in Alaska was wonderful. I enjoyed the long days of summer and the beautiful sight of the Northern Lights! I miss the lights! Even if we could see them here in Ottawa they would not be the same. Gone are the nights when I would stand outside in the bitter cold starring straight up at the night sky watching the curtains of colour dance across the sky. Perhaps another trip is in my future. The Aurora Borealis calls to me.

As for today? I'm off to share a wonderful afternoon and evening with Nick. The pool and movie sounds good. A nice long soak in the hot tub perhaps!

Enjoy your celebrations as this week moves closer to Christmas! I know I will.

Something fun!

I spend time on Sundays surfing the web looking for interesting and fun Raw Food Ideas.

I ran across Kristen's Raw today and thought this e-book looked inviting.

It's called Kristen Suzanne's EASY Raw Dehydrating

Don't the pancakes look yummy? I think so too.

If you have some great recipes to share with me please let me know. Do you have a favorite raw dessert recipe? I'd love to hear from you!

Hugs
