Improving Health

I have been taking walks and riding my new bike most days since I received my new cruiser bicycle.  I have a great app on my iPhone called Sports Tracker.  It was windy this morning so I went for a walk, rather than kill myself riding against the wind.  It was a nice change from riding the bike so I had an enjoyable time.  I also listen to podcasts or music while I walk or ride because the time goes by less tediously.. LOL

The weather here in South Florida is rainy lately - May Showers bring June Flowers or whatever...

This morning after the walk, I had Muddy Mean Green juice.  It is Mean Green made with red kale which makes it muddy-looking, but the taste is the same, only the color is different.

Later, I went to late lunch/early dinner with a friend to a Mexican restaurant and had vegetarian fajitas which were very good.  NO DESSERT!!!  Once I got home I ate some watermelon, which was PERFECT!!  A local farm grown seedless, sweet, heavy watermelon.  High in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, magnesium and potassium.

Eating better, getting exercise, being active really has my body cooking, and food is being processed through my body.  I feel like I am regaining health I should have had all along.  Next Monday, May 21, will be my first visit to my doctor since November.  Since then, I have lost 28 lbs. and started exercising.  I have not lost much weight for the past month, but I know to just keep moving forward and not to let the scale stop me from doing what I am doing.  I will ask my doctor if I can do a 3-5 day "juice only" fast, and that will knock some pounds off.  I think a 10 day fast will do more good than harm.  I have strayed from a raw diet of fruits and vegetables and slowly cooked food, wheat, sugar, dairy, is working its way back into my diet.  I do best when I juice and eat clean, plus I feel so much better... I hope to do better.. I mean actually DO better, not just talk about it...

More later.....
