A PLAYLIST AND A JUICE

JANUARY 1, 2012

It’s the 2nd day of January. How many of you have vowed (or “resolved”) to 1) eating better, 2) exercising everyday, 3) omitting the “white stuff”, 4) accepted that reality-TV is an addiction and a 12 step is in order , 5) stop yelling at the kids-does no good, and 6) promise to take more time for oneself? We all say the same thing, but after 10 days or so, we give up – go back to our old habits and continue to make excuses.

Excuses no more. My two biggest commitments are going to be getting my tush moving, each and every day, and ingest more fresh, organic, fruits and veggies. To help facilitate and motivate, I have made a new playlist which I will walk to and after much research, purchased the Hurom Slow Juicer.

It is time to clean out, shed those lousy 10 pounds, and bring more wholesome goodness to each and every meal. My friend Mary(a chef and entrepreneur) turned me onto the machine and I am now hooked. Levi’s fresh apple juice(with an added leaf or two of kale) is giving him his sugar fix without the “white stuff”. This is just the beginning of changing the way we eat, snack, and nourish ourselves in 2012.

For now, I have created much of the norm; green juice (kale, mint, ginger, green apple, spinach), beet juice(beets, apples, some carrot, ginger, lemon, basil), and carrot juice (carrots, ginger, lemon, apple, parsley, cucumber). As it gets warmer, I plan on experimenting with pineapple, mango, papaya, etc.

I do yoga 2-3 times per week and on alternate days I walk(3 miles) and do an occasional hike now and again. I have always liked music that gets my body moving. Hard rock never did it for me. In middle school it was all about Carole King, Elton John, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, and a little Cat Stevens. In high school I found Earth, Wind, and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, and anything that got my body to move. Today, it is no different.

Here is my new playlist to get me moving in the a.m. even if on somedays, it is just to walk the kids to school!
