I can't believe I sat for 2 whole minutes just trying to come up with a title for this blog. Don't you just love it. Not much to blog about. I am now into week 2 of the extended cleanse and feel much better than last week. Some nice warm sunshine and fresh outdoor exercise would be very welcome. Dennis and I were talking with some ward members tonight about going snow shoeing. That sounds like so much fun. I will have to dust off the snow shoes we got for Christmas a year ago and haven't even used yet. Anyone want to go with us! We are looking at going on January 22nd.
I am so proud of myself. I have thought of what to have for dinner before noon 4 days in a row now. Now if I can only keep it up.

Helpful Hints that I found work for me
1- I try to make 50% of the food I eat each day raw fruits and vegetables. Most of this comes in the green smoothies and lettuce salads.
2- Eat only foods made with whole grains. Stay away from processed foods like white flour and white sugar.
3- Do not drink anything with your meals. Try not to drink at least 15 minutes before either. The body seems to absorb and use the food better without being diluted with liquid. I even take my pills with food now instead of liquid.
4- Exercise, exercise, exercise. Do something that gets your heart rate up. Doing it with someone else makes it more enjoyable and encourages you to keep at it.
5- Get out in the sunshine. Take a walk, rake some leaves, read a book, just do something. It is amazing how much better you feel after 30 minutes in the sun and fresh air.
6- Drink plenty of water. A good general rule is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink 60 oz of water.
