A little about what I do...
I buy our milk RAW from the dairy farmer, I make our bread (whole rye sourdough) and pretty much cook/prepare most things from scratch at home. Now, if you are a long way from this in your home, please don't feel overwhelmed or discouraged! The way to go is to slowly transition to a healthier diet by adding one thing or habit at a time and getting everyone used it...unless of course you're like me and get a bit passionate (or obsessive!) and jump right in the deep end practically overnight!! Also, you can expect to encounter a little resisitance (especially if you have older children), but don't give up, you will get there in the end. Baby-steps!
A few things I LOVE...
Green Smoothies! I whip up yummy (yes YUMMY!) smoothies with leafy greens (spinach, silverbeet, spirulina, chlorella etc) and lots of fruit to make sure I get lots of raw in my diet. I like to add Hemp Protein Powder and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to mine for lots of extra goodness.
Exercising! Not that I get as much time for this as I might like, but you will often find me sweating it out on the stationary bike or walking and running around our neighbourhood in the mornings. I also love Winsor Pilates DVDs. Exercise does more than just get you fit...it is also the best stress-relief activity I know and I always feel so much better afterwards! Remember, starting is the hardest thing...once you really get going, you will miss it on the days you don't do it, at least I do!
I plan to add a lot of recipes and health boosting ideas and information on this blog, so if you are interested in all this stuff, please stop by again!!
Oh and does anyone know how to make the text NORMAL size...above, apparently, is normal size, but small, was too small!
