I’m going to
start up the blog… even if it’s just for a couple of weeks.
I’ve been meaning to write more – and now that I’m acclimating to my
new position, I believe I’ll have time to get back to writing.
Writing
is a great release for me and I guess it will be pretty cool when my
grandsons get older that they’ll be able to visit my blog and see what
was going on in my life – captured in 500 word essays.
Do you guys
remember The Honeymooners? I’m sure if you
had a 13” black & white TV in your room as a kid, you will
(that, and The
Odd Couple). I used to like The Honeymooners –
Ralph always had a “get rich quick scheme” or some type of “action”
going on.
Sometimes I feel
like Ralph.
I guess you’d
want to know why?
I am always
getting into some shit. Not necessarily to make money or some
“get-over”… but, more like trying new things (until I get bored with
it). I like to think I have an entrepreneurial spirit and I’ll try
(almost) anything once. Some things I enjoy more than others… some
things I’d like to forget.
Kind of reminds
me of a picture I saw on Facebook that said “The
great thing about being in my 40’s… I did all my dumb shit before they
invented the internet and cell phones with cameras!”
So, what has
lasted for a while is couponing and juicing.
I like couponing
because of the sense of accomplishment and the rush I get at the
register when I’ve saved over 70% on my purchase. It’s a game and it’s
also a way to make me get out of the house.
Juicing is an
acquired taste. Aboy started long before I did. He
used to have the house smelling like barnyard (and I’d let him hear
it!)… but, after I watched Forks
over Knives and Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead…
I became serious about changing some of my eating habits and
incorporating juicing into my diet. Sometimes I’m more dedicated than
others – but, for the most part – I do it pretty consistently and can
feel the difference in my health.
I know, I know…
you’re sitting there reading this and thinking… so?
Well, this is the
lead in to tomorrow.
I will begin a
juice fast starting tomorrow morning. I’ve been prepping for
it over the past few weeks by cutting down on my meat intake, drinking
lots and lots of water and upping my produce intake. It kind of makes
the fast easier to adjust to.So, if you’d like to follow along – I’ll
post the link to my blog on my Facebook page… OR, you can come
back every few days to find out what’s going on and how I’m faring.
