So far today I have stayed true to my word regarding my renewed commitment to healthy eating practices. I made a kick-ass green smoothie for breakfast.
Jump Start Smoothie
1 cup pure cranberry juice
1 cup water
1/4 cup coconut kefir
1 shot glass (2 fl. oz) E3 Live
3 big collard green leaves
4 frozen bananas
Place all ingredients into high speed blender. Blend. Serve with love.

I’m very prone to injury (loose tendons and joints I’m told). I really need to be careful that I heal fully and prevent further injuries. I know that Iyengar yoga can help me with this, but I’ve yet to put that into practice.
I will be writing my goals and objectives down. Making commitments is one thing but in order keep my initial motivation, I need to get SMART. SMART = Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-framed. That means formalizing exactly what I’m going to be doing.
