Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Didn't hit my goals today. I figured I was doomed when I couldn't get to sleep on time last night. Wasted my whole morning and was still groggy. Never kicked into gear. Went to physical therapy and the therapist wants to see me another 4 weeks. My eyes were like a cash register (think the cartoons) where I was adding up my $50 co-pay two times a week times four. Yep. Like that. I hadn't eaten and as I headed to pick up my mega-D prescription from the pharmacy on the other side of town, I realized I was hungry so I stopped and ate. That didn't perk me up any. Sadly, I only logged 2,000 steps today. I'm wondering if my PT work counts as a work out?  I think I am feeling sluggish because I have been lax about taking my vitamins and I haven't been juicing or eating as well as I should. I have to get back on track. My body knows the difference. I was so tired by the time I came home I tried to force myself to stay up so I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the...

Today was rough at work. After I got off all I could think about was fresh juice so I headed to the juice bar. I then went to get a mani-pedi and I am so glad my nails are finally done. I went to my "healthy" restaurant for a fish sandwich and bean soup before heading home. Ready for bed now.

So, I have been having a different juice every day. Sometimes I have two juices in a day. It can be an expensive habit (about $5 a cup) but it is worth it to me. Especially since I am not spending that money on food or other drinks. Today's juice was called The Best of Both Worlds. I wasn't really impressed with it and had to force it down and psyche myself out so I wouldn't gag. It was OK as long as I drank it while it was still cold. It had kale and other greens with fruits like mango and it might have had a little ginger. So far my favorite juice has been a green apple and ginger juice. Also, there is one a guy made that had parsley (and I hate parsley) with fruit juices. It was actually good. I am easing my way into the green juices. Tomorrow I probably will not get a juice unless I stop at the juice bar near my apartment on the way home. I think I have hit every juice bar in Harlem at this point. Some are better than others. After I got my juice I headed to get my ...

I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
