<p>I decided to join the Detox Challenge.. It is 1.00 for first month and then 19.95 after that.. It says it takes three months for for the change.. Of course that makes sense to me… Here is the link if you are so inclined…</p>
<p><a href="http://www.laurakleingreenclub.com/greenclub/">http://www.laurakleingreenclub.com/greenclub/</a></p>
<p>I like that she has a thirty day calendar and thought you have to do the work yourself on setting up goals, etc.. But that is fine, I can do that!!</p>
<p>My golas are:</p>
<p>1. To lose the twenty extra pounds</p>
<p>2. Eat only organic exclusively</p>
<p>3. Do daily exercise</p>
<p>4. Meditate daily</p>
<p>I want to keep these simple I usually go overboard, not this time. simple stuff I can do!</p>
<p>Today I will eat organic produce, and organic vegetable broth, organic yogurt with fruit an organic cereal. Tonite I will have Organic spelt pasta with organic turkey burgers and organic tomato sauce. Also eziekel sprouted bread with garlic and parmesan. Then Organic fruit smoothie.. snack before bed with organic yogurt.</p>
<p>30 push ups,</p>
<p>30 squats</p>
<p>50 situps</p></div>

<p>I have been more aware of my eating but what is eating me is a different story…I have been doing push ups everyday, and walking and trying to get back into the excersize game…But the food thing this weekend was crazy.. ate consciously at the beginning of our trip, then fell so far off the wagon could not have cared… Extreme miss thaz me.. Welcome to my world, or really probably a zillion women do this type of eating….</p>
<p>But then came home and yesterday I had a new resolve….I ate mostly fruit and yogurt, and for dinner I had a wonderful seafood stew I made and a few organic crackers, and small amount of dip… I ate really well yesterday.. No sweets , no bread….</p>
<p>Downloaded a few new apps on my iTouch…200 situps, 200 push ups, and 200 squats, they help you start slow and keep track of how many you do and a history. I did 30 squats, 20 push ups, and no situps, today I will do situps too.. It is how I actually like to work out simple yet effective…</p>
<p>I am going on a road trip in two weeks and my goal is to eat as consciously as possible, and a simple workout I could do anwhere.</p>
<p>I also have Lose it, a App that is great for reporting your daily intake and shows you how many calories… Will come in useful on the road trip…And of course if I used it today..</p>
<p>I am making plans to go on the Master Cleanse this week.. I have some tummy issues that need to be cleared up…I have done it before for like half a week.. A few times and it worked well.. I have to watch though my low blood sugar…</p>
<p>Found a website that is doing a Green Detox Challenge, here is some of the info, and the link below….</p>
<p><a href="http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/organic/the-green-club-detox-challenge/" target="_blank">http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/organic/the-green-club-detox-challenge/</a></p>
<p>Have you ever thought about doing the Master Cleanse or Lemonade Cleanse but didn’t have the courage to do it? Well…here is your chance! I am launching the Green Club Detox Challenge. Join me as I and other members of the Green Club bond together in support of each other as we tackle the Master Cleanse. What is it? Beginning Monday July 13th, we are launching the 10 day Green Club Detox Challenge complete with a community blog! We are having our first free introductory Green Club Detox Challenge telecall, Wednesday July 8th, 5pm pacific time to prepare you for the cleanse. If you are ready to snap your metabolism back into shape, kick up your energy and lose a few pounds and detox your body this summer (which is very healing for the body), after a big food filled 4th of July holiday, this is for you! The suggested length of time is for 10 days. I will be doing it for 10 days along with my husband, and I hope you will to!</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been on this road before.. The journey is familiar, I know it oh so well.. I choose to stay on track today. And eat healthy, live healthy and put healthy vibes into me…. I am going to walk the doggies today. Another 1 1/2 miles yah for me! I have a app that shows how many steps I take and how many calories I burn.. I hate mentiong it cause then I don’t do it, so shhhh.. lets not chat about it any longer……  I have been good though about doing 15 push ups a day.. Not easy but getting easier.. I know they really do tone your arms!!!!  I am chosing to eat healthy today and make this a day of beautiful food on my plate. I did have some wonderful seedless watermelon from Traders Joe… YUMMMMMMMY! I add Himalayan Salt to it.. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   I also had a organic banana with organic sunflower butter (like peanut butter only sunflowers) that was tasty too. I don’t like to deprive myself of healthy and yummy food if I do I just fall backwards….  I tend to graze with my eating habits.. I am sure that is not the only thing I do, I eat my feelings, I eat junk and on and on…… Geez no wonder I need to lose 20 pounds.. I can’t even look  at the scale.. Scares me.. I am not alone, but feel alone on this rollercoasting of food addiction…  I have a small workout room at my complex, am thinking about starting to use the treadmill, it’s just that I have two doggies and If I am going to walk then I would rather take them for a walk…..  Working toward a balanced life in all areas…</p>
