Fwi, fish oil, turmeric, and glutamine keep my joints happy. All 3 offer benefits beyond anti-inflammatory too.

Welp got back into the running after a few days at a client's. And K and I are returning back to a vegan lifestyle this week. I actually splurged on a Vitamix 5200 (I always think of Lucille Ball's skit on vitavegametin. LOL). Anyways I should be able to make fresher juices and better mixed smoothies. And get my diet closer to a raw vegan diet. Later today or tomorrow I'm going to put my bikes together and clean up the beater bike to use next week to bike to and from the facility I'll be teaching at (30 min ride based on Google maps).

And once I start unpacking I should (hopefully?) find my P90X DVDs and I can start doing that. I did get some pushup aids as well as some power blocks. So it's all coming together.

I use the glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM combination, it really does work. I have MAJOR arthritis in my left knee and shoulder.

Well I made high protein pancakes this morning. You can find the recipe on the previous page.

I can't say enough about P90x weight loss/muscle building program.
I integrated it in my weight lifting regimen. I'm on a mission to lose weight and P90x's
core synergistic and yoga routines are amazing. They hit muscles I didn't even know I had.

I love P90X. This will be my forth week coming up.

Does anyone have any juicer recommendations?

I was considering the Omega, Champion, and Greenstar (because I usually drink vegetables) juicer, but then someone who has used all three over many years has been talking me into getting a higher end Breville model because the payoff in time/ease of cleanup is greater than the payoff in yield/efficiency.

I have a Breville under 100 bucks amazon and love it. Over the years I've spent hundreds of dollars. I love it and it is easy to clean. If you spend too much time cleaning you are less likely to juice. I juice daily.

I also have a vitamix and make smoothies but to be be honest I'm more likely to juice. I dont always like the texture of some veggies in a smoothie

P90x looks brutal. I hate to workout but I love my ab circle and started doing QiQong which is like tai chi. Maybe because my week is so busy picking up stuff, cleaning up after dogs, yard, garden, etc.

I have discovered something recently about myself that took many moons to "get"... that my obsession with my body and my thinking around food needed to change. I stopped dieting and stopped freaking out about it. I used common sense and my focus was more on nutrition and healing. Then I did things that helped me move and over time I moved more. I think a big problem with people today is that they dont play enough, move freely without stress and effort. Add meditation and your entire life begins to change.
