When life throws you a carrot, juice it and make carrot soup!

I am guilty of something.  That is....neglecting my blog, as well as my deep down burning need to write about nonsense and sometimes more important nonsense on a regular basis.  So I am back on the scene with some new news.  I have reformed myself!!  That's right, I am no longer unhealthy. Actually, I ironically happen to be typing this as I fight another round of bronchitis.  BUT, that's neither here nor there.  I am talking about how I have been eating CLEAN since January 1st.  And this is by far the longest I have ever stuck to a plan.  I didn't actually go on a diet per say, more like a new way of life.  I was tired of feeling sick, bloated and sluggish all the time.  And for the most part I haven't been sick with my usual colds and/or stomach aches.  The reason I have bronchitis today is because I have been away for the past week with the fam and kids who were getting over viruses, and since I didn't have easy access to the most nutritious foods, my immunity became low and I caught a cold which turned into bronchitis.  Blah blah wah wah boo hoo.

That's not why I decided to revive my blog.  I am currently on a mission to revamp this site, maybe rename, restructure, and add more useful info.  I am still up to my usual shenanigans which include pole dancing, yoga, hot yoga (bikram), anti gravity yoga, etc..  I have had to pause my circus classes since it was overwhelming on my time and  budget....but that will hopefully reconvene soon enough.   In addition to my craziness, I have taken up cooking in a very holistic and healthy manner.  I am enthralled by vegan blogs, stay at home moms making healthy family meals, even people who are cooking foods that fight specific diseases.  I have become a bit obsessed and the more time I spend researching, the more obsessed I've become.

I recently attended a screening for Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and got to meet Joe Cross and hear his story behind the documentary.  It has inspired me to invest in a juicer and juice at least one per day.  It's an expensively healthy habit.  And it's addicting.  I can't seem to get through a day without a juice.  That's why I decided that tomorrow I will go on his 5 day reboot program.  I've stocked up on so much produce (still not enough for these 5 days) and have spent quite some time today prepping.  It's tiring for sure.

I will try to document these next 5 days, assuming I make it!!
