Saturday there is an all day raw festival at Raw Vegan Source on Saturday. I will be out of town, so sadly I cannot attend - but it's going ...

A couple of years ago I decided to do my first triathlon. I had been biking & swimming quite a bit, but was never much of a runner. I had a blast doing the triathlon, but I realized that if I wanted to do another one, I should start working more on running. So I started building up my endurance and I did a 5k, then a 10k, and then eventually worked my way up to a half marathon! I did the half marathon last June (so just over a year ago) and it was really hard, but it felt so good to say that ...

Yesterday was such a great day!!!

my husband and I went to a couples yoga and thai massage class yesterday morning. it was incredible! there were only two other couples there, so it was practically like having a private session. we were outside at a park downtown and it was so beautiful and sunny. i feel so blessed to have a husband who likes to go do activities with me. he doesn't do yoga at all (has only been to 1 class before) but he is always willing to try new things. i love it! ...

This morning my alarm went off and I immediately thought of a million excuses for why I could stay in bed and skip yoga..."I went to bed late, I'm tired, I went every other day this week, maybe I need a break, I could go later, etc." Luckily my wonderfully supportive husband said to me "just go, you'll be glad you did."

yesterday was my first day of smoothie feasting. I made three smoothies for the day, but I ended up only drinking one & a half. I guess I just wasn't all that hungry. This was amazing for me because in the past I've typically eaten whatever food I have on hand without really thinking about whether or not I'm hungry. Yesterday, I actually listened to my body! I've heard other people talk about doing that, but I never really understood it and didn't know how to do it myself.
