Good morning, ma dear ladies! How are you all today? I continue to receive such fine wonderful emails and look forward to highlighting them in future blogs! Keep talking to me, my girls! I love to hear from you!!!
PHOTOS ABOVE
Above are scenes from Grants Pass, Oregon, where i stayed with the wonderful Morris family.
The first is a photo of adorable Johnathon Morris. You can check out his mom's new blog at http://www.mydailyrind.com/ Shawna is a raw mom and documenting her journey!
Next you will see one of Shawna and John's poodles! This is Dillon! He is apricot colored. There are 2 other poodles, Bonnie and i can't think of Bonnie's brother's name. Is it Zoe? They are all rescued dogs, so sweet! I would have NEVER thought poodles were such great dogs!!!
Next you will see the 'Sunshine Cafe'. Never say you can't find good raw food wherever you go. You must seek it out! The Sunshine was a wonderful wonderful resource. A health food store with a salad bar, yay, and a juice and smoothie bar, yay. I had it made. i got a fresh salad, they even had nutritional yeast at the dressings area, wow, i sprinkled yeast, lemon juice and cayenne and lemme tell you, yummo. i ordered a huge carrot juice with greens and other veggies and a banana and blueberry smoothie, no milk, no nothing, just fruit and water. it was fine. really great!
The last shot is a vista of beautiful Grants Pass, Oregon. Southern Oregon is gorgeous! I highly recommend a trip there!

I awoke at 4:30a.m. and have not been back to sleep. Oh well!
MY DARLING CLIFF
Off for a walk very soon and to meet my darling Cliff on Main Street after his bicycle ride. This supportive exercise relationship has rocked our world and is the BEST thing we could have ever done. Cliff even is renovating the house, too! He finally has energy to do it!! My new blue bedroom is looking gorgeous and i'll soon show pics of what a great job he did. He ripped up the linoleum floor last night and exposed a beautiful wood floor beneath. Exciting!
FOOD AT WORK - WHAT'S THE PLAN, STAN?
I work today, so the question of the day is: how will i handle the food at work? Okay, here is the plan:
a) i will not restrict bananas,
b) i will keep the fat low and keep things salt free, fruit and veggie based for the bulk of the day
c) i will probably make a green smoothie
d) if i feel i need a gourmet meal, i have several options:

b) i will keep the fat low and keep things salt free, fruit and veggie based for the bulk of the day
c) i will probably make a green smoothie
d) if i feel i need a gourmet meal, i have several options:
- i can add more fat or a little salt to a meal i make
- i can have a bag of kale chips (under 400 cals)
- i can have one awesome foods meal
- i can have ONE gourmet arnolds way meal (pizza, cheesesteak or cheeseburger or wrap or soup or raw dessert, seated, eaten slowly, savored and enjoyed. I will sit with this and experience anxiety and panic, BUT will keep calming myself. it will not escalate into a binge. I will report back.
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!
