Restocking my emergency chocolate via vegancuts.com

I love chocolate and was super stoked when I saw that vegan cuts.com was having a deal on 40 mini bars of chocolate for the price of 20.I was extremely happy when the mini chocolate bars arrived and after eating one of each bar, I was definitely impressed.

These chocolate bars were made from Newtree natural born chocolate company in Belgium.


The flavors are as follows: Blush contains cherries, Refresh contains mint, Renew contains blackcurrant and sexy contains ginger.



Here is a photo of all of the Newtree mini chocolate bars

Starting a juice fast

Yesterday I watched the documentary "fat, sick, and nearly dead" on Netflix's streaming channel. It was an inspiring story of Jim Cross, an Australian man who was tired of being sick (on medication) and overweight,who decided to go on a 60 day fast of nothing but juice made from fruits and vegetables. Seeing this documentary has inspired me to do a 10 day juice fast starting tomorrow. I hope that doing this fast will help break my addiction to junk food and processed food. Wish me luck!

Just ran my first 5K!

After several months of training, I'm happy to report that I just finished running/walking my first race in a time of 1 hour and 11 minutes! When I did run a race several yeas ago (2004), I didn't train for the race at all so when I ran 2K, I finished third from last in 29 minutes. Today me and Den participated in the 3rd annual Conquer the Bridge race in San Pedro, California which was actually a 5.3 mile run/walk. I alternated between walking and running and although I had planned to finish within 1:10, I am proud of my finish time today (1:11) as well as my pace during the run (13:31) and am definitely making it my goal to finish within an hour next year.Den also walked the course and finished in 1 hour and 30 minutes. We're both really proud of our achievements today.
is super excited that we conquered the Vincent Thomas Bridge in 1:11 (tam) and 1:30 (den)!
