What did you give up for Lent? If you have read my previous
blog posts cultivatingvitalism.blogspot.comthen you know that I gave up wheat
flour. I do not eat a whole lot of it but enough that I felt it would be good
to move away from it for 40 days and kick out the little bit of inflammation in
my body.
Apparently God had other plans as we are now eating totally
raw! Due to crazy circumstances where we had a gas leak and our gas is shut off
for the next week the decision was easy to go raw. Fortunately there is a
farmers market around town every day but Monday so access to local, organic
food is quite easy. Today we loaded up on tons of different lettuces, cabbage,
celery, carrots, celery root, fennal, leeks, avocados, and beets. I made a huge
salad for dinner with squash I had roasted the day before and homemade salad dressing.
It was literally a fatty salad with raw cheese, avocado, raw almonds, and a
good amount of local organic EVOO. I also juiced and then for dessert cookie
dough. Now, this may seem terrible but actually when you are using things like
local pastured eggs, raw butter, coconut flour it is SO GOOD. Dr. J and I are
huge advocates of getting healthy fats into the diet so this was a perfect meal
for that. Yesterday, before the gas incident, we made beautiful burgers in the
iron skillet and wrapped them in cabbage leaves and homemade pickles. There are
truly so many great options other than bread and many gluten free things are
super processed and extremely inflammatory. Spending extra time to make real
sourdough or homemade pickles is total worth the time!
My workouts have been off because of a change in our work schedule
and one trainer is leaving and my other trainer is taking over his gym.
However, I am starting with a new trainer Thursday and I am looking forward to
it! Sunday I took a 90 minute hot yoga class and had lots of movement.
Yesterday I took an hour yen yoga class and today I practiced on my own and
added in push-ups, squats and some other core exercises.
I hope you are all recommitting to your health each and
every day. I hope my journey will inspire you to be your best version of yourself
every day! Remember physical exercise is
critical but so is working on your emotional strength. I have theta energy
healing, biofeedback, sound healing, massage, acupuncture and meditate on a
regular basis. Find modalities that work for you and focus on your emotional strength.
Remember regular chiropractic care is VERY important for a properly functioning
nervous system which controls every single cell in your body so call you local
DC to make an appointment.
