Happy New Year!


It has been a while since I posted a blog but let me tell you, my life has been crazy!! But in a good way. So last quarter closed out my first year back in college and now I am on my second year. This quarter I am taking Nutrition, Biology and Math. I don’t see math disappearing any time, as a matter of fact not at all. I have so many more math classes I have to take to complete my major that I might as well be prepared to be scatter brained for the next few years.  My daughter just began her second semester as a college freshman and I am so very proud of her. It has been a blessing for both of us to be in school together even though she is 1500 miles away. She is also 2nd in the nation right now for wrestling and headed to nationals. If we are lucky she will get to try out for the Olympics. My son is in his 5th-grade year and will be a middle school student next year “yikes”. He joins me on my runs from time-to-time however, he rather ride his bike while I do all the running.

Since I started back to school last year my eating habits have been total crap as well as my workout schedule. However, last summer I made it a point to start running in the mornings; that has been my savior. Once the first of the year rolled around and all of the holiday lunches, dinners and treats faded away I decided I would cleanse my system and get myself back on track and now I have more energy than ever. For four days I started my morning with a protein vegetable and fruit smoothie for breakfast, green juice all day until dinner and tomato soup for dinner. Currently, upon waking I have my “tonic” 2 tablespoons ACV, fresh Lemon Juice from ½ Lemon, Turmeric, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, ½ cup warm Water, then I go for my run. After my run I have a simple smoothie with Power Greens (spinach, Chard, Kale), 1 Frozen Banana, 1 scoop of Protein and 1 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut Almond Milk, which I drink during my two, morning classes (3rd class, Biology is online). The rest of the day looks like this: One cup of Tomato soup for snack, Lentils, Chicken Patty for lunch, protein and Vegetables for dinner; this is just an example. If I want anything to snack on after dinner, I will eat some seaweed, dried veggies or dried fruit. I end my evening with my “tonic” right before bed. If you want to know if I lost any weight since I cleansed my system the answer is yes, seven pounds (about 1 lb a day).  

Well, folks, that’s all for now. I will make it a point to be more diligent on my blog, with all of the essays I have to type, sometimes it’s hard to even think about typing up a blog post.

And…It Is What It Is!
