How is your spring going so far?\u00a0 Admittedly, it doesn\u2019t seem much like spring yet, but feels like it is just around the corner.<\/p>\n
Every year when March hits, I get the urge to get my bod beach-ready.\u00a0 This is not an urge like \u201cOh I just can\u2019t wait to up my workouts!\u201d, but more of a \u201cOmg, summer is right around the corner and my stomach looks like this!\u201d sense of urgency.<\/p>\n
We were on spring break last week, which meant lots of eating out and not exercising.\u00a0 It was a great time but I sure can feel it, a lot of sitting around and one big ol\u2019 headache later.\u00a0 They (they being those who practice a holistic lifestyle) say that whenever you feel pain or less-than-great it is the chance to become aware of what is causing the pain and fix it.\u00a0 Awareness can do powerful things.\u00a0 My awareness told me that the junk food, sugar, and excessive caffeine must go.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve talked about Forks Over Knives <\/a>and ran a vegan challenge <\/a>here on FGS.\u00a0 Did you take the challenge?\u00a0 Watched Forks Over Knives or the award winning Food, Inc<\/a>.?<\/p>\n I love the phrase in Food, Inc. about voting with your dollars, what you purchase says you want more of that item.\u00a0 Buy healthy organic foods, that is a vote for organic.\u00a0 Buying processed junk food is a vote for more junk.\u00a0 I\u2019m the first to admit, we buy and eat some junk, but try to eat heathfully as much as possible.\u00a0 And I get a wake up call occasionally (usually in the form of a headache) that reminds me to knock off the junk.<\/p>\n My latest read on the subject of healthy eating is The Food Revolution <\/a>by John Robins.\u00a0 Have you read it?<\/p>\n What is your stance on plant based diet?\u00a0 Do you eat a vegetarian diet now?\u00a0 Sometimes?\u00a0 Would you never consider it?\u00a0 Let us know!<\/strong><\/p>\n [Image by Ben McLeod at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
