Goals.

In middle school, each student made an autobiography and there was a section that listed your goals. I've been thinking a lot lately about how irritated I am with myself for not finishing and training for that marathon. I think I'm going to try again and I'm also going to update/publish some goals/dreams/fun things.

1. Finish a marathon.

2. Own and teach at my dance studio.

3. Graduate from college and go back for a master's degree. I would really love to study more dance. I think it would be very interesting to work on the scientific/social part and look at how and why people move.

4. Get married, be a wonderful wife and work hard at building a beautiful, respectful relationship.

5. Have babies, be a great parent and really get to know and understand my kids.

6. Go sky diving, bungee jumping, and zip-lining!

7. Do some sort of theater again, I would love to get involved with lighting.

8. Take photography, cooking, foreign language and ASL classes.

9. Exercise regularly. I love Zumba, dancing, swimming, kickboxing, yoga etc. I just don't understand why I can't bring myself to be active each and every day.

10. Travel abroad for a lengthy amount of time. I'm so jealous of you Ashley. I feel like living somewhere else will give life a new perspective and complete me as a person. Could you imagine? Dancing in other countries? Gee Wiz!

11. I would really love to stop gossiping, judging, and comparing myself to others. I feel that leaving the cell phone at home and catching up at night would be enough, let my folks know that I'm alive. We don't need the fb, myspace, and what ever. I should at least cut my internet time down to 10 minutes a day.

This is a good start. I don't want to drag on and force it but if I could accomplish these, I could be happy.

Green Lemonade

I read in Shape last year about a woman who drank Green Lemonade for breakfast every morning. I've wanted to try it for the last year, but buying a juicer hasn't been at the top of my list.

I'm at Ian's house, and after watching video games for waaaay toooooo maaaaannnnyyy hours I asked Calana to read a book she owns, "The Raw Food Detox Diet." I know what you are thinking, for some reason the crazy "fruitarian" hippie from "Notting Hill" pops into my mind... This stuff is crazy we just need to eat everything in moderation right?

I've been thinking a lot about how way back when humans survived. They didn't have margarita's and Big Mac's, they ate fruit, nuts, what ever was lying around and bone marrow. Are bodies are meant to eat REAL foods. Fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, and a little meat. Raw food diet extremists tend to avoid meats and stick to veggies. I think I can find a balance and eat a mostly plant based diet.

I'll give it a shot.
