So this weekend was anything but normal. For starters, it snowed. Not just flurries, but actual snow fall that accumulated to about 4 inches. It was cold and wet and did not feel like Halloween. But, it was fun and it reminded me that the holidays are just around the corner. It's my favorite time of year. Time to be with friends and family and not to be burnt out from working crazy long hours. So my goal this Holiday season is not only to remain healthy in my lifestyle, but also to remain healthy in my social life. That means actually having a life and spending quality time with friends and family. We take for granted how important a healthy social life is to one's health. Without social interaction outside of the office, I have started becoming situationally depressed, not wanting to leave the house because I am tired and drained from the office. Because of this I have missed out on so much fun with friends, and family and doing so, made me more depressed. So it will be my job to dig myself out of this depression and regain control of my life. I have realized that things need to change in order to regain my life, and I finally have the courage to make the change.
So before signing off I leave you with two of my new favorite juices.
Spring Clean
2 Large Cucumbers
6 Carrots
1 Large Green Apple, stalk removed
2 Celery Stalks, including leaves
1 Large Beet, scrubbed
Juice the cucumbers, carrots, apple, celery, and beet in a juicer. Stir to combine and serve over ice. Makes four small glasses.
Minted Apple Orchard
6 Apples, stalks removed
3 Pears, stalks removed
1 Cup of Mint Leaves
Juice the Apples, Pears, and mint leaves. Stir to combine and drink immediately. Makes 2 large glasses.
Hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. I am going to try and post a recipe or two with every blog. Now keep in mind that I am working crazy hours again so I will do my best to post recipes. Now it is time to crawl into bed and call it a night. Meeting JC in the morning. Should be an intense workout since I had to cancel my last two sessions due to work. Wish me luck! Till tomorrow.
