Keeping it Clean & Simple

Originally Published April 27, 2012


Yesterday I had the great fortune of being welcomed into a facebook group of medifriends.  It is an active and chatty group of ladies that are really working their journey - wherever they are in this process.  Some are very new, some are in transition and some - like me - are returning customers.  This is what inspired yesterday's Find Your Happy Place blog post.

Well, this group is taking on a challenge for the weekend - we're keeping it CLEAN & SIMPLE today through Sunday...longer if we're inspirted.  No extras in our meals, sticking to our water, adding in some green tea, and staying true to the program.  I love it!




Sometimes, we need a reminder of what it is that's going to get us to goal - and through goal into the healthy lifestyle that will keep us going and active for the rest of our lives.  It's good to review the program and sharpen our focus.  Not that we purposefully let things loosen up - but life gets a hold of us and sometimes, the picture is a little blurry, the scale is buried under a spaghetti squash (yes, that is the case this very moment), the measuring cup is in the pile of dirty dishes.  

Well, this weekend is the time for us to put on our glasses (maybe I should clean the lenses...), bake that spaghetti squash for another day and do the dishes!

If you're inclined to challenge yourself to clean up your routine, I welcome you to join me and would love to hear how it goes for you.  You know where to find me.

Happy Medifasting Weekend, my friends!

Go get 'em, tigers!

Ode to My Water Bottle

Originally Published September 20, 2011 - And I love it today, just as I did then.


While I may fill you up and dry you out at a rapid pace
I am happy to always have you staring me in the face
Your green body and sturdy top are strong enough to take
The path of destruction I leave in my wake
I drop you, open you, close you and wash you
You feed me, hydrate me, nourish me and heal me
I keep you in front of me from morning to night
You are my favorite tool in this crazy fight
Together we are journeying to a healthier me
And I cannot wait for the world to see
What we can accomplish together, my water bottle and I
There is no hurdle we cannot pass, no obstacle we cannot get through, no problem we cannot solve
Because with enough from you, it all disolves

I'm happy to report that I've since added to the Camelbak family in my house.  My lovely green bottle has been joined with a delightful blue bottle.  They are happily enjoying cohabitation and have plans on expanding their family soon.
