Organic strawberries appeared at the farmer's market today. Even though they're the first of the season, they still taste amazing. Whole Foods has been trying to sell some pretty pathetic mostly yellow organic strawberries for weeks (Haven't they ever heard of quality? Guess making a buck is more important than anything.). It's nice to finally see great produce and signs that spring is starting.

Spent the day running errands. About 8 hours of them. Crazy! Glad that today was a rest day for Callanetics. It was nice to just sit and doing nothing for a few minutes tonight.

Day 3 Complete

breakfast: granola with raisins

lunch: salad, hummus

dinner: fried egg, steamed broccoli

workout: Callanetics 10/10

3 days done! I've now done the minimum number of days in a row you're supposed to do when you take a week or more off from Callanetics. It's nice to be taking some time for myself again. Granted, there has been a moment when working out wasn't my first choice, but I'm glad I did it because the results are worth it.

Day 2 Complete

breakfast: buckwheat granola with raisins

lunch: roasted vegetables, Tuscan chard soup

dinner: broccoli soup with goat cheese and walnuts, sauteed apples

workout: Callanetics 10/10

2 days down! It feels great to be working out again. Callanetics is so nice and relaxing. I like that I can even do it at the end of the day and have no problems going to sleep.

Day 1 Complete

breakfast: protein drink - banana, raw milk, hemp seed, almonds, flax seed, carob

lunch: tuscan swiss chard soup

dinner: roasted vegetables with riccotta salata, scrambled egg

One day of Callanetics and healthy eating done. It's kind of nice to think of it as being a third of the way to the finish line.

Let's Get Back on Track...

I have a confession to make. I've been really busy lately and I haven't been making my health a priority. I haven't been eating well. I haven't been working out. I've been lazy. I've been doing the "easy thing." That's not fair to me. I should place myself higher on my list of priorities - at the very top and no lower. After all, I'm stuck with me forever. The work going on in my life right now is only temporary. I'll always be around. If I keep putting myself last, I'll have to deal with the consequences. No one put me in this position but myself. No one can make the changes for me but me. No one is responsible for my health or body but me.

So I'm taking charge.

Starting today, I'm doing Callanetics for a minimum of 3 days in a row. Want to join me?

Starting today, I'm committing to eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Want to join me?

Today is a new day with no mistakes on it. Let's keep it that way.
