Windowsill Goddesses
So today was a really low energy day. I think the Cleanse is getting to me. I got up and did Ashtanga with Christine and Cheryl at 6:30, came home and drank my Serious Green Juice and then fell asleep during Holosync (holo-snoozed it today). I really wanted coffee. I did 2 loads of wash, … Continue reading Windowsill Goddesses
Puzzle 2010
The annual jigsaw puzzle of 2010 has been completed. Now January can end. Here is the recap. Thanks for the memories Country Dog Gentleman, you were a winner.
Cleanse: Day 17
So, it's day 17 of my cleanse. Here is a list of what is going to stay: "Serious" green juice for breakfast. It may not be the "only" thing I eat for breakfast the way it is now, but it's going to be a major player. The big mid-day meal. This is so working for … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 17
Moosewood Vegan Chocolate Cake
On Saturday G and I went up to Ithaca to horse around. It was sunny and we were in need of organic veggies anyway, so it was a good excuse to blow this burg for the afternoon. Went to Moosewood for lunch. Moosewood was a complete treat since we haven’t eaten out at all since … Continue reading Moosewood Vegan Chocolate Cake
An Unexpected Gift
Last night I got an unexpected gift. It wasn't a birthday gift, it was better. Way better. First, a little backstory. Back in August the yoga studio was robbed. Someone took a bank bag containing my entire month's income of cash and checks. It wasn't a lot of money as these things go, especially since … Continue reading An Unexpected Gift
Gifts, part 2
So as you know, I've been on this cleanse for the past 11 days which involves 2 liquid meals a day, and one solid meal. The liquid meals are breakfast and dinner. I am doing the "book" version of this cleanse rather than the "kit." The author, Alejandro Junger, sells a "kit" for $350 that … Continue reading Gifts, part 2
Gifts, part 1
So I got a bunch of cool things for my birthday and they all seemed to follow the theme of "health and fitness." (go figure, right?) The first thing was a FitBit. It's a whiz-bang pedometer-plus! It will track your movement (walking and running mainly) automatically, and then, if you want to spend the time, … Continue reading Gifts, part 1
20,810 Days Old
Today's my birthday so I'm going to make this kinda short tonight. This is how my day unfolded: Got up and went to the studio at 6 AM and did ashtanga. I was the only one there this morning, so I was more focused on my own practice and less on "keeping up." Came home … Continue reading 20,810 Days Old
Cleanse: Day 8
I have finally turned the corner on this cleanse. So happy. The weekend was hard, only because certain celebratory rituals involve food and drink. One of the big revelations of this cleanse for me (so far), is how food is not just food. It's social. It's symbolic. It's comfort beyond physical hunger. It functions as … Continue reading Cleanse: Day 8
