Day 2 of fruit cleanse

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T


I must be stuck in a post Hawaii hangover, I'm planning to visit again asap there is no place like it maybe moving down there would be a good option for me. It seems strange to me that a month of go the family was all there, it has been so cold it seems like a dream. This picture is from the poi fields in Hawaii and made me think that I would probably be able to eat poi if I liked the way it tasted. But I didn't try it while there. Today has been a lot better not so hungry and not craving other foods as much. Eating avocado earlier in the day really seems to help, the cravings for the carbs seem to come from a need for protein. So I'm more then half way done and I can totally manage this. I'm so surprised that I have made it this far. Well that's all for to night kind of sleepy after a busy day of work x2 and yoga.

Day 1 of fruit cleanse for 40 day yoga

So far I have completed my first day. It has been a little challenging, it makes me hungry all the time. Today I ate a ton of pineapple, grapes, melon, for breakfast. Lunch smoothie with coconut oil, oranges, pineapple and banana. Followed with two raw bananas, and two clementines. Dinner avocado with roasted peppers, and tomato. For a side dish pineapple, Mellon, and grapes. For dessert a baked banana with coconut butter on top. Before bed a Clementine and I'm still starving again. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, you can do anything for three days.

So much snow

Finally sitting down after shoveling. These two are very tired after long day of work and playing in the snow. Vinny is enjoying his time on the couch, he is settling in very nicely.

 I'm missing these pool views from the trip to Hawaii. The hotel had the largest connected pool on the island.

The snow that we have gotten over the past couple of days is great for packing in tightly. My brother and I uncovered the fire pit and built seats into the snow maybe tomorrow night we will light it all up and then I will be taking pictures.

 The 40 day Yoga challenge is totally challenging because of the snow and not having class. But I'm very sore after doing it three days in a row, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm not sure how the fruit cleanse is going to go. I'm on day 11 now not to many more to go. This will help me to get ready for the tris that I want to do this summer and the breast cancer 3 day walk in the fall.

Why I Haven't Written in Awhile

 So can you guess where I have been???????????

Things have been so crazy, I haven't been writing b/c I have been in Hawaii with my family. It was one of the most amazing trips, the island of Kauai (the garden island) was so much fun to visit. Here is a picture of coconut shrimp and purple sweet potatoes. The purple sweet potatoes are sweeter and have a creamer texture.

This next picture is from Kauai Coffee Company, Hawaii has the most wonderful coffee, it is so smooth and great taste. This burlap bag use to hold coffee beans now a cool wall hanging in the ladies room of the plantation.

After visiting the coffee company we went to Waimea Canyon where we got pineapple, coconut, and sugarcane. They were so good the pineapple was the best even though it was off season. I will be uploading more pictures from the trip over the next couple of days. There are just so many fun things we did.

So there is even more to report I have been very busy. I have started “40 Days To A Personal Revolution” program is based on Baron Baptiste’s best selling book and is designed for beginning and experienced students. The program’s purpose is to guide you to your own personal transformation. During the six week program you will align your mind with the Laws of Transformation and you will see that the transformation happens naturally. You will lose weight if you need to, become less reactive and more calm, get in better shape physically, drop bad habits, eliminate negative thinking, reduce your stress level, develop a positive can do attitude, and become a more attractive person on the inside and out. The transformation happens when we change on the inside first. Link to my yoga studio Power Yoga Works

I'm on day three of the program I have to attend 6 yoga classes a week, meditate, and work on my diet. In week four I will have to do a 3 day fruit cleanse, which makes me a little nervous, I think I can do anything for 3 days. So far this week I have gone to 2 in studio classes, yesterday I did 20 min. at home but it is easier to stay focused in class rather then at home. So I hope to keep you all up to date with this program.

This is where I wish I could be practicing my yoga, but I'm stuck in the Northeast for the winter.
