ZING! POW! WHAM! ENERGIZED!

This pretty much describes how I’m feeling right now!

WOW!!! I am really excited right now! As you know I have been exercising every morning for 20 minutes. I always said I couldn’t do it any other time because by the time all my day care kids go home I’m just too wiped out. Well today…they all went home…I looked around the house…it was clean…I had already made dinner (more about that later) and I HAD ENERY! I felt a little antsy even. What else could I do? I went out to the garage and rode Rainbow for 20 minutes! I went 1 mile and saw that calorie counter thing go to 200 at 1 mile! I was very excited! I haven’t had that much energy at the end of the day in, I don’t even know how long. This new lifestyle is showing dividends!

As I mentioned in my last post, Kerrie and I watched the first ½ of Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. It’s a really great documentary and we felt inspired to try to make the juice he drank for 2 months. We don’t have a juicer (I did order one. It’ll be here in 6 to 8 days) so she used my Magic Bullet. Pretty nice little machine but it really wasn’t designed for this kind of work. But she did it. It looked pretty nasty but it tasted really good. It was just chock full of vitamins and minerals and all sorts of good stuff. She even made enough for tomorrow’s lunch. For dinner I made the veggie stuff that I still haven’t figured out what to call it yet, but it’s really yummy. I think my taste buds are coming more alive, because things just taste better now. I didn’t have fresh garlic or pearl onions so I used powdered garlic and added eggplant. It was as yummy as ever!

So that was my day. More energy, lots of greens and good stuff and feeling great! Now I’m going to go watch Phil’s story with Kerrie.

Have a very fruitful day everyone!
