I am feeling FANTASTIC!!! Ben and I got up this morning and exercised! We did 40 minutes of my Cindy Crawford video. It's an hour long! It's a great total-body workout. It definitely gets the blood pumpin' and the sweat rollin'! If anyone is interested, it's called: "The Next Challenge" and you can purchase it thru www.amazon.com or www.cindycrawford.com .

I am also excited because I found a really good health food store yesterday. I bought more soy milk and found soy yogurt, too! Ben and I are trying our best to go completely dairy free. (If you own "Total Health Makeover" by Marilu Henner, see chapter 8)

As quoted from the book, one of the benefits of going dairy free is: "Once I ginally got off diary for good, my face changed so much. The baby fat layer brought on and carried because of dairy consumption went away. I had bone structure I never had before. My lungs and kidneys were functioning better because they got unclogged from that dairy sludge that was blocking their function. Everyone who goes off diary talks to me about having more energy, having better digestion, and feeling less stuffy in the nose. I can't think of anyone who didn't feel a difference."

I am also trying to get back into the habit of eating more raw and steamed veggies. I've gotten away from that lately and I can feel a difference in my body. In fact, for dinner tonight, I'm going to make rice pilaf and steamed veggies! I'm going to commit to eating a BALANCED and healthy lunch. Too often, I get so busy that I just grab a bowl of cold cereal. I need to eat more sandwiches and salads; things like that.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on about my passion for nutrition and health!!!
