DAY 302 OF 365: HAPPY HALLOWEEN

So it was back to the grind for me as I started the day with a session with JC. I have to tell you, it took every bit of energy that I had to pull myself out of my warm bed and make the trek to the gym this morning. It wasn't just because it was nice and warm in my comfortable bed, but it was also because I knew what was in store for me at the gym. A week off from working out with JC meant that he was not going to go easy on me and he was going to hit me with everything that he had. Boy was I right. After our normal warm up, he put me through a circuit that worked every muscle in my body instead of concentrating on a certain muscle. JC felt that by doing this, we were giving the muscles a chance to re coup in between circuits, while at the same time giving the body a total workout. And you know what, he was right. I left the gym feeling energized and worked out and sore. Basically, a great feeling.
Now it was time to head into the office for a long day of casting. We were having a Halloween party at the office, and honestly, I was Debbie Downer. I brought a costume but ended up not putting it on. This is one of my favorite holidays and this year I just didn't have it in me to dress up. It was hard enough just making it through the day dealing with what I had to do. I know, where is my spirit? It is probably the same place as my life, non existent. But I had packed a healthy lunch and snack, and knowing that it would be a long day at the office, I even made sure to pack a nice dinner. Sad right, but at least I was prepared. But you know what? There is now a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am not talking about the challenge. I will keep you posted on that progress, but for now just know that I have a plan. Oh, and I have posted a juice recipe that I tried that I really liked. Try it out and see what you think.

Blue Moon
2 Cups of Blueberries
6 Small Peaches, pits removed
3/4 Inch Piece of Ginger
Pinch of Ground Cinnamon

Juice the blueberries, peaches, and ginger in your juicer. Add the pinch of cinnamon and stir and pour over ice. Makes 2 small glasses.

It is the perfect thirst quencher and the cinnamon gives it a great kick. Blueberries are a great antioxidant so I say anything that involves blueberries is amazing! Give it a try and let me know what you think. For now I am going to work on my charity benefit and then it is off to bed for me. Another day at the office tomorrow and I am sure that it will be just as hectic as it was today. So I leave you with this little diddy. Change is inevitable. It is the only way that we grow and evolve as individuals. Embrace it, follow it, and live it. Because after it is all said and done, we are only as good as the life we lived. Till tomorrow.
