Carrot Juice

Went to the gym today and I did step for an hour and a half. The instructor was late—Why? Because she thinks we (the students in the class) do not like her. Oh, that sucks! Listen this is only my second time with this step-teacher, and I don’t know what has gone on in previous classes, but I tried to assure her that it was not true. But, I think deep down it was true because people where dropping like flies. By the end of the class there were only four of us left. And, I was tore up from the floor up. I could not wait for the class to be over, so I could go home and take shower. I did my best to spread love.

Today, I want to talk about carrots. I am thankful for carrots because they contain phytonutrients lutein-helps to reduce the build of plaque in the arteries and zeaxanthin—protects against macular degenerative diseases such as glaucoma. Carrots have anti-inflammatory properties, and can help relieve some of the inflammation involved in Arthritis Since I have glaucoma and my mom has arthritis, I like to make carrot juice regularly.

Get yourself a 5lbs bag of carrots an juice! Peace...

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..
