It's that time of year again. I'm thinking if I write my resolutions for all the world to see, I will be more likely to actually keep them. Here we go:
Exercise - Yep. Not original. At all. Still, I know how good I feel when I actually do it, and how yucky and sluggish I feel when I don't. This resolution is not about losing weight, but being healthy and feeling great!
Juice it up! - A couple of years ago I bought a juicer after reading the book The Raw Foods Detox Diet by Natalia Rose. Juicing is a wonderful way to get essential nutrients, stay hydrated, and counter act some of the harmful things that we do to our bodies (stress, caffeine, junk food, etc.). I stopped juicing because I found it to be a hassle, but that is no excuse. 2011 I am making it a priority!
Here is a recipe from crazysexylife.com
Green Drink
• 2 large Cucumbers (peeled if not organic)
• Big fist-full of Kale
• Big fist-full of Romaine
• 3 stalks of Celery
• 1 Pear or Green Apple
• 1-2 big Broccoli stems
• 1/2 inch of Ginger
Art - Although I am a graphic designer by profession, I do not consider what I do at work art. Art has always been a big part of my life and I find it so rewarding to express myself creatively. I have not always been great about making time, but at least once a week I want to work on some sort of project whether it be sketching or practicing guitar.
Here's to a fabulous 2011!
Marissa - we have the same list for 2011! And those things aren't new for me either.
ReplyDeleteI am already on the raw food thing, my health has to be priority this year, and I'm hoping to rediscover art again too. Happy New Year :-)
Leah, Good luck with your resolutions! I'm hoping to post some "raw" and other recipes in the near future, so stay tuned. I saw your post on Empanadas btw. Not raw or veg, but YUM!!!
