Get Moving~!

Ok folks time to get moving!  I am mainly typing this for my own accountability purposes, but perhaps I will motivate someone in the meantime.  I have made a pact with myself that I will "get moving" for a minimum of twenty minutes per day.  Walking, jogging, elliptical, bicycling or however I can!  I will also be adding yoga and weight lifting as well.  So here we go folks....time to get a move on!  There are so many fun ways to burn calories.  For example, when I help volunteer for sorting at co-op  I see it as a game and see how fast I can add my produce to the boxes (without harming any fruit or veggies of course).  What are some creative ways you can think of to "get moving" and beat the holiday blues?  Hugs & Aloha!

Convenience and Preparedness is Key!

So I am sitting at work on my lunch break "eating" a fabulous banana date smoothie and jammin' to some good tunes.  My co-workers all looked at me crazy as I prepared my smoothie.  I just smile and say it's great would you like to try it and I pour them a sip.  Most all of them have liked it.  :)  YAY!  I have been struggling with my raw transition a bit lately.  But the other day I thought to myself bananas are so convenient.  God even made them with their own wrapper so you don't have to worry about tupperware even.  :)  Being prepared and planning a head is key to any lifestyle change.  I try to eat before I go to any social outing so I am not tempted and I am already full.  I did partake in some of the Thanksgiving feasts this year, but not as much as I typically would.  I am trying to focus more on relationships and friends and family rather than food.  I have also tried offering to go to the park for a jog, walk, run or cycling instead of having time spent revolve around eating. Also getting proper sleep I have noticed and read is a huge part in gaining health and wholeness in your life.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving~!  Stay tuned for more honesty to come!  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Hugs & Aloha!

Simplify...back to basics

Hey y'all!  Sorry I have been out of pocket for a while.  I have been busy adjusting to shift work at my new job.  Whew it's hard to do, but I am grateful for it!  It is sure nice to have days off and be able to run errands and hang out while everyone else is at work.  My life is coffee right now ha ha so it has really been hard to eat raw with my crazy schedule.  It is super easy to just peel a banana though, which I did the other day at work.

I have been having the desire to simplify and draw closer to God.  I am off work tomorrow and I plan on cleaning, napping, journal and reading tomorrow.  I have this desire to simplify and make life easier.  After all all those "things" do not go with you when we leave this earth right?  I see all the ads for Christmas shopping already and I am not even tempted to shop.  Good thing I guess, the budget would approve and so would Dave Ramsey.

See you back here soon folks!
