Happy February!
It has been long time, and I'm communicating from my newish I pad. Love it but the key board takes some getting used to. Anyhow, we are approaching the Lenten season, on the 13th. And while I'm certain it would be more meaningful to devote my energy to others, I have decided to work on self improvement. I will be challenging myself to maintain a mono fruit island until Easter. I guess you can tell from the title that it will be apples. The good thing about mono fruit island is that you can clean house, but you can eat a lot of food if you wish. I just purchased a bee - autiful box of pink lady apples, a bushel to be exact and I am going to start tomorrow. Mostly because I am not feeling awesome after the holiday where I maintained a vegetarian diet at best. I'm simply feeling like I need to pay attention to my health to be the best mama colleague wife etc. since I wear many hats. Lately, I have noticed I don't feel as well as I normally do, and I have been relying a little heavily on the stimulants. Which is always a sign for me, that I am not keeping up with my wellness. I also tend to become a little irritable, probably from the stimulants. Anyway, I would like to get back to a balanced position. Where I am enjoying good sleep, vitamin d (sun) and exercise. I will be keeping track of my efforts on here daily, so I hope to inspire others, and show people the benefits of mono fruit dieting!! And no - eating one type of fruit for around a month will not cause any unusual health conditions or deficits (in a healthy individual). It simply isn't long enough for that to be concern. That being said, the fruit must be ripe, and organic. And you must eat enough of it to maintain energy. I will be taking vista shine vegan vitamin d, because I have been low, and I am mostly in doors during the winter!
Along with my diet, I will be attempting to be more mindful of my emotions, and actions, with my loved ones. Gotta pay attention to these things when raising toddlers! Really looking forward to making a few positive changes in 2013.
