I was taking this test: http://quiz.ivillage.com/cgi-bin/diet/tests/dietdestiny.cgi

and I realized why I always go back to yoga: because it's challenging but also soothing.  Can't beat that!

I love Pilates too, for the same reason. Both amazing disciplines!

First day of the challenge!

Here's the Week 1 assignment:

Good luck to everyone

---------------------------------------

Me, for this week I pick #2 and #7 from my to-do list to get done this week.

Here's my food journal for today:

On awakening: cranwater + fiber supplement

Breakfast: 2 raspberry-whey "cookies" (no sugar, no flour - sweetened with stevia), cranwater

Lunch: bell pepper creamy soup, pan-cooked veal, mixed cooked veggies (cauli, brussel sprouts, carrots, leeks), cranwater

Just as a note: the plan is not for the list to get done all at once. It's to implement the actions gradually, one by one so that we gradually improve our habits without disrupting our routines too much at once.
