I did it!

well finally today I got up early just as I planned and went for a morning jog with Denzel,Nasser and Sasha (my doggie). I love the peaceful mornings. I feel a certain calmness from the view of the lake, the sounds of the birds singing, the smell of the cut grass and the sun not to hot. WHy is it that I do not like actually getting up? When there is so much to look forward too. The quiet part of the day, self reflection?? I don't get it? I am going to try to force myself to do it everyday! Ok , at least 3 or 4 times a week. I remember last year when Nasser and I were waking up early and jogging every morning, it felt so good!! Oh well one day at a time! Tomorrow is my long day at work so I will not be waking up any earlier than I need to. So Anyways, we joggged around the community 1 time about 15 mins. I stopped in the gym for some quick arm exercises. When we got back, I left and went to Whole foods to get some fresh veggies to juice! I made a new juice today 2 cucumbers and 4 carrots. It was good! It feels pretty amazing to put fresh veggie juice in my body right after a exercise. It is very calming but also very energizing. Not sure if that makes sense or not lol.
I got some pretty cool juice recipes from www.veganstreet.com
As for my meals today, lets see, For breakfast I had cucumber and carrot juice a couple hours later I had some mixed nuts(sun flower seeds,pumpkin seeds, almonds, peanuts,cashews, and raisins. High in protein! for lunch I had fried white rice (oops) with peas corn and chicken. more nuts for snack a few hours later. For dinner I ate Jennie O's lean turkey burger on wheat bead with cheese tomato and ketchup! Right now I am eating more nuts. I am so addicted to this mixture is is sooo good! for my last snack I am going to eat Edamame. For those of you who do not know, it is soy bean, looks like a pea pod but you only eat the bean inside, not the whole pod. It is very good. Even Isaiah loves it!
