HEALTH KICK

REMINISING THE DAYS WHEN THE MOST PROCESSED FOOD I CONSUMED WAS TOFU, WHEN MY HEALH OBSESSION WAS BASED AROUND EVERYTHING GLUTEN FREE, SUGAR FREE, PRESERVAIIVE, SALT AND ADDED ANYTHING FREE. I HAD SO MUCH ENERGY IT WAS AMAZING, I BELIEVE IN EATING FOR MY BLOOD TYPE (WHICH IS BLOOD TYPE A) SO I'D START MY DAY WTH A FRUIT PLATTER CONSISTING OF MOSTLY VARIETIES OF BERRIES FOR THE HIGH CONTENTS OF ANTIOXIDANTS, I HAD ALMONDS, WALNUTS AND GOJI BERRIES TO SNACK ON. LUNCH WAS EDAMAME AND MISO SOUP OR HALF A TOFU SCRAMBLE WITH LOTS OF VEGGIES FROM BLISS, MORE FRESH FRUIT IF I WAS REALLY CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET, USUALLY ORGANIC DATES, STRAWBERRIES OR FRESHLY JUICED PINEAPPLE JUICE (GREAT FOR A BLOOD TYPES) DINNER BEFORE MY VEGAN STINT WAS FISH BAKED WITH GINGER AND LEMON JUICE WITH AN AVACADO SALAD ON THE SIDE OR A LIGHT HOME MADE LENTIL DISH. I'D ALWAYS START THE DAY WITH LEMON JUICE AND HOT WATER, LOTS OF FRESH GINGER TEA, CAFFIENE FREE HERBAL TEAS AND RAW JUICES. ORANGE, STRAWBERRY AND PINEAPPLE FOR SOMETHING SWEET AND BEETROOT, CELERY, CARROT, GINGER, APPLE AND LEMON ON A DAILY BASIS. EXERCISE WAS 12KM OR MORE ON THE CROSSTRAINER, WALKING THE DOGS AND AN HOUR AND A HALF PILATES ROUTINE MIIMUM SIX DAYS A WEEK. READING THIS IS REMINDING ME OF ALL THE OTHER THING'S I USED TO DO, TIME TO GET BACK INTO MY HEALTH KICK AGAIN. 1KG TO LOSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF AWESOME ENDORHINS TO ENJOY!
