Excitement!

I am so excited about some things going on in my life right now and I would like to share them with you.

After having officially finished three personal training with nine more to go I am so happy with it.  I am proud of myself for keeping up with it and I am so thankful Michelle decided to give this gift to me.  Obviously I can’t expect my body to look different after only one week of working out hard.  But I can feel a difference in my body and that is great motivation to keep going.

For 2011 I have made the decision to really focus on the kinds of foods I consuming.  Too often I choose the easy way out of preparing a meal by going out to eat or having a frozen vegan pizza.  While it is possible to have healthy meals out I have the ability to create wonderfully healthy meals at home for much less money.  Timing has always been the issue for me, “if I only had enough time” I keep telling myself, well enough of that.  One of the things we are doing to help us eat more veggies and whole foods is getting local organic fruit and veggies delivered to my office every other Tuesday.  A local company called Boston Organics will be delivering them and I will take them home and I will have to cook them or they will go bad, so it is sort of a way of forcing me into cooking more at home.  My first box should be delivered today and I am super excited.  I will let you know tomorrow what was delivered.

The last thing that I am excited about is something Michelle and I are doing in February.  In the most recent edition of VegNews, a vegan magazine, there is an interview with Kris Carr.  Kris made a documentary a couple of years ago called Crazy Sexy Cancer, has released several books and currently runs the website CrazySexyLife.com.  She is an amazing individual who has learned first hand about the healing power of foods and nutrition.  Anyway, because of that interview we checked out her website and it turns out she is hosting a retreat in Stockbridge, MA which happens to be about two hours from us. It’s called Crazy Sexy Life: An Adventure in Health, Spiritual Wealth, and Happiness.  We will be learning about nutrition, meditation, how to lower stress, and we will be eating some amazing wholesome vegan food while we are there.  It is a whole weekend!  We really can’t wait.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading.
