"@Catherine, YES!
Okay, you definitely have some challenges in finding time for yourself & family/life commitments doing the detox -- but we can do anything for 3 weeks right?!?!
My biggest concerns are being able to keep variety…"

Alexandra Lee posted a blog postAction Plan 2012??? Who's in???
I am in BAD need of this now -- let's detox our way into 2012! Last year I was ramping into a serious yoga-focused period of my life and in need of some additional health clarity. This year, it is all about starting fresh again and also mixing up my fitness regime with both the yoga (provided by my local Bikram studio, a healthy dose of Mandy Ingber, and also some serious weight lifting which I will be doing at my local CrossFit gym). Who else is in? How are you prepping? I will be taking a few…See More
Elizabeth commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Hi Alexandra,
This spring and early summer has been a mix of highs and lows... My daughter and I planted a raised bed vegetable garden, and brought home a few more baby chicks (we have six already, but popular demand from friends and neighbors who…"

Elaine commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Hi Alexandra, I have actually been thinking that May would be a good month to do a re-cleanse. I did the challenge in Jan and ended up losing about 10 lbs and have kept it off (except for a few bumps in the road) until now, but have not…"
Alexandra Lee commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"@Wynter Like Karen said -- you definitely want to stick with it especially because you're diabetic. I have a good friend who found out he was diabetic just 2 years ago and has subsequently been working on finding substitutes for everything he…"
Karen Morse commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Kaki - I grew up in Louisiana and lived in Baton Rouge 13-14 years ago. I remember there being NO recycling in my apartment building and having to drive somewhere else to recycle!
If things haven't changed much over the years, I…"
Karen Morse commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Alex - I'm actually scared of the Bikram classes because people come out so drenched, so maybe we can both conquer our fears!
Wynter - I encourage you to keep trying due to your diabetes. I knew a few young diabetics who…"
Kaki H commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Wow, y'all are all so inspiring! I don't bike or walk to work, I don't use reusable bags at the store (shameful, I know), and I routinely slip out of my routine. BUT, as Alexandra said, I try not to beat myself up about…"
Wynter Moon commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Well, my problem is, I always want to get healthy, especially since I am diabetic, and I do really well for the first 2 hours, then I am back to eating the way I always have. I will go for a few weeks eating veggies, drinking water, walking to…"
Alexandra Lee commented on Terri Thompson's blog post 'Urban Naturalist - Skin, the Body's Window'"My skin acts up seasonally too -- it has been a lot better since I started a good routine with the right type of products for me. My dermatologist has always sworn by Cetaphil as a cleanser (and I buy its very close substitute since I've moved…"
Alexandra Lee commented on Alexandra Lee's blog post 'Getting Healthy: No Easy Way Out'"Karen, thank you so much for thoughtful response. It is true - it is great that the cold weather is gone (we're still getting rain here, but the flowers and trees need them so I wont complain), but it did seem to just appear one morning.

Is anyone else horrified that it is already May? What happened to winter? Why are my legs suddenly bare and looking untanned (and not so toned) in my spring skirts? It it too soon, I was supposed to be in the best shape of my life by now. Ha.
But let's face facts: it isn't about going for the beach-ready body now, or about having the calve muscles of Lance Armstrong (well, maybe that's too extreme) for summer sandals -- it is about approaching every day with the goal of…
Read more Wisdom Teeth Removal = Easy Way to Re/think How I eat
Posted on April 15, 2011 at 5:14pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I've been "lucky" enough to have had all four of my wisdom teeth removed this week -- the lucky part being that so far, no dry socket, no really intense pain and limited swelling, bruising etc. My jaw is definitely tight and the muscles on the right side of my face are a bit strained -- but hopefully by Monday the majority of these things will pass. (I had surgery on Tuesday).
Now, what this has really afforded me is the opportunity to rethink the way that I eat. As my gums are…

I signed up for the Whole Living Challenge and made it until week 3 and then the bottom fell out of my plan? It's been about a month since that happened, and now I can't recall the reason -- lack of motivation? a slip-up that make me lose the steam? general laziness? The list could continue...
Although it is no longer WLAP season -- I view today as an opportunity to re-start my commitment ot my health, and get going once again. The few extra pounds that winter has so…
