I’m REALLY Going Green Now!
Posted by Karen in Eating Raw on 17-03-2010
I decided! Ok, so it’s past New Year’s day and I didn’t stick with my resolutions. I’ve been part of the “green” movement for a while, so what made me decide to really go for it? Sure, I watch what I eat, take supplements and probiotics, but there was still something I was missing. We all have fast paced lives and I too have fallen victim to an “on the run” pace almost 7 days a week. So what made me decide to really go green?
Well, maybe because it’s St. Patty’s day and I want the “luck of the Irish” to be with me. Haven’t an Irish bone in my body but I do know that I want to keep this ol’ body around for a long time (I did just reach a milestone birthday too). Maybe it was the email I got from The Raw Divas. It was a challenge to try for 10 days on how to eat raw….and add more greens to your diet. The Green Smoothie Queen really had a cute site and while I read it, I thought to myself that I needed to go further than what I’d been doing. I hadn’t reached a pinnacle point, so I am going to take the challenge and share what happens in my quest to find my desired results.
If you’d like to come along this journey, please do! But I am looking for something that I have lost. No, I didn’t lose the weight that I intended to and my cholesterol level is 186 at last count. So let’s see what this new path has in store for me. Sometimes we all need a push to get going in the right direction. Well, I’ve been in the right direction but not getting to where I feel different.
For each of us, there has to be something that makes us move….a diagnosis, a family member’s health, a story we read about, statistics that keep climbing….it’s different for everyone. The turning point that gets us up and off our “comfort zone”. I am ready to drink what Mother Earth has to provide for us and with that, I went shopping! It was fun this time…picking out green veggies and sweet fruits to blend into a healthy concoction for energy, vitality, detoxification and nutrition! I’m excited to see how it all swirls together and of course the big issue…..taste!
So follow me as I explore this world of raw food, one day at a time. Let’s see how my family reacts to this and what changes or transformations may take place! Yes, March 17th is a good day to start my truly green journey! Why now? Why not!!
