A journey starts with one step and relating a healthy life style begins at birth. I have never been competitive though I am athletic. So, when I haul my boys, 8 and 10, out for hikes, rowing, swimming, tennis and the play ground I am passing on my life long habits. All the things I enjoy are free and can be done for a life time. I leave the organized sports to my competitive husband.
Any pregnant woman pictures their child at every stage of life. I pictured my sons walking, biking and generally active. I have walked to keep in shape and would tear up when I saw a family on a walk or a mother running with a daughter. Oh, boy. My kids had been in runs with me but never with their feet on the ground. I dreamed of enjoying a 5K on an equal footing.
Thanksgiving Day we walked the Turkey Trot, a five miler around Austin Texas. We joked and laughed and decided we could not have another Thanksgiving with out this experience. The boys loved the pre race excitement, music, food and just wild atmosphere. We've already planned our next race the Jingle Bell Run. And I see many more races in our future. Darn where are those Kleenex.

Cleasnsing
I did a cleanse early this year and loved it. It was a 21 day purification with supplement to help detoxify my body. I ate raw veggies and fruits; three times more veggies as a rule. I had been on long fast before so I was not intimidated. The hardest part was doing with my partner and two kids in the house.
I learned three major things during the process. I am a better cook than I believed, I don't need copious amounts of sugar in my coffee and you are what you eat. If you have to eat veggies and only veggies every day you will make them taste wonderful. I grew up in house with three squares; you know, meat, vegetables and starch was supper. I'd know the last rule before but how often we forget.
My Body, the temple that it is, must be clean and that starts with what I put in it. My eyes are bright, pores smaller, and hips narrower with a natural diet. After the last fast we bounced just about every precessed food out of the house. Organic is the watch word. Not just for in but on our bodies and home as well. There are plenty of great products for all. We can't change the world but I can my little part as bright and safe as possible.
Keep in touch I'll tell you how the latest feast is going with a juice, cleansing six months after. http://www.rawreform.com/
