Trying to go GREEN

Going full on green is not as simple as it has been made out to be.
I started small by drinking less bottled water and filling up the same container with filtered water from home. I also bought the cloth bags for grocery items and put them in the cars.
I find I need to put my purse into one of the bags to remember to bring them in with me.
My husband calls me a tree hugger and I read online a new line "granolier than thou".
He's just jealous (wink). Whole foods and Farmer's Markets have become a second home to me.
When I have to go to a grocery store it makes me cringe at the sight of all the processed foods.
Yes, my kids still eat some processed foods....but they are limited.
Asparagus and spinach are my new favorites. When I was growing up you couldn't get me to eat anything green (sorry mom). But I have changed my 'green' ways. Those of you who know me know I still will NOT eat broccoli...and I seriously doubt that will ever change.
Small changes can make a HUGE impact on your body and life. Add little green to your day!

Fall a time for Change

-CHANGE-
What have you always wanted to change? I always want to change something. Whether it be my hair color, attitude, dress size, position, or wall colors.
The most recent change started in June after reading 'Naturally Thin' by Bethenny Frankel.
That was when I realized the love and support I needed give myself to be healthy FOREVER!
For me it wasn't about losing weight. I wanted to keep what I had lost off and get healthy. this book changed so many aspects of my thinking. I have lost 13pounds since I read this book. I have become high maintenance when it comes to what I will and won't eat. Processed food is out....all natural WHOLE foods are in! The guilt monster has been quieted and my family has also started to embrace a new way of eating. Thank you Bethenny...the common sense is invaluable to me.

Once upon a Time...

His arms like vines wrap

round my waist.
His hands express all
time and space.
I gaze into my
true love's face.
And feel love time
cannot erase.
His eyes take me to
a lonely place.
To hide my sorrow
show my face.
I know not of a
safer place.
Than the eyes of my
true love's face.
