Starting a Juicing Journey – Am I Crazy?
I am one of those people who ‘thought’ I ate well and took pretty good care of my body. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink (except for the occasional glass of wine), I don’t believe in fad diets, I don’t eat boxed food and I exercise pretty regularly.
I’ll be 52 this year and I’m a firm believer that your physical age has nothing to do with your mental age and that your mental age definitely has an effect on your physical well-being.
I honestly feel like I’m still in my mid-30′s because I thought I was doing all the right things.
Cleaning Eating Wasn’t Enough
In March of 2011, I started clean eating while getting ready for my son’s wedding in June. I certainly didn’t expect to look like part of the bridal party, but I didn’t want to be the frumpy mother-of-the-groom, either!
Real Life Isn’t PhotoShopped
Welcome to 2012
I don’t make a list of resolutions, but I set goals and benchmarks instead. One of those is for my health & fitness.
It’s an area of my life that is very important to me. While I love to run, I’m not a competitive athlete. For me, it’s about lifestyle. I love to hike, bike, snow ski, and most anything outdoors.
I know what my drivers license says…(51, but who’s counting?), yet in my head, I’m still in my early to mid-30′s.
To me, being ‘old’ is a state of mind. I don’t know about you, but don’t you want to still be doing the activities you love today in 20 or 30+ years? I know I do! I plan on being the 80 year old still on the ski slopes at Breckenridge!
