Today is a good day

Today is a good day. I went to the gym. I had a pretty mellow workout even with my leg. Yoga released tension that I have been carrying around for a longtime. The snake pose was liberating; my back stopped hurting. When I was meditating in this pose, it felt like air entered my body and made space.
After yoga, I did the zumba with weights. My arms are blown. I’m glad that tomorrow I have class at 9 am, so I won’t go to the gym. This semester, Thursday will be my day off from the gym.

I've almost completed the first week of my 8 week raw vegan plan; look at what I am eating and drinking today.


Toppings for a spinach & basil salad that I am eating right now. There is avocado, mushrooms, olives, orange bell pepper, and cucumber.


Today, I made a cucumber, carrot, jalapeno pepper, and celery juice. It was refreshing. I can really taste the cucumber,and cucumber is good for the skin. And, I need help with my skin right now because of that gigantic zit on my left cheek. Why do zits have to be on the cheek why not the side of the face near the ear where not one will see? Ah, me, anon (hehehe).

I want to give a shout out to Celery. Yes, you beautiful tall, lean, slightly green, vegetable. You are full of nutritious life-water, and are an excellent source of fiber. Celery is a good source of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. I also want to thank orange bell pepper for its lutein, a vital nutrient for people with glaucoma. Like me..
