Day 14-Population Me

   Howdy!

             Who's sick of this gloomy depressing weather? Because this girl is, I'm ready for summer...I think. I've pretty much decided that I'm doing camp this summer but I'm still pretty stumped about which camp I want to do...there's a lot of choices out there, yeesh hopefully I'll be able to make the right choice for me!

Memory #14

           On another note today after class I went grocery shopping but instead of going to HEB I went to a locally owned primarily organic store because...why not? It was pretty nice since there was almost no one there. Seriously no one except some elderly folk, no bumping into people and no lines. It was fantastic. Anyways it kind of reminded me of when my mom got into a big health kick. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer she got more into researching what she was buying. A lot of what I know today about organic, GMO foods...etc. come from my mom.
     
        She would drive out 30 minutes to go to the Whole Foods in Austin just so that she had more organic options to buy. She tried a lot of different types of nutritional approaches to fighting cancer now she didn't always follow through all the time but its kind of hard to stay completely organic when your kids and husband want to go down the street to get a hamburger. For the lifestyle my family had evolved into it was difficult and that will always be one of my biggest regrets that I didn't do more to help her stay on track.
 
         One of things that my mom bought while on this health kick was a fancy smancy juicer. It was awesome! Whatever fruit we had on hand she would just stick into it and out would come this frothy yummy juice that was apparently good for you. My favorite ever was when she would make apple juice, which was a lot since she knew I was sort of kind of obsessed. Seriously the best stuff ever. I always find it strange how sometimes people get on this health kick and then it kind of just fades out.

       My message to you is to do some research. Find out what exactly you're putting into your body and find easier alternative ways (Even if they're small) to be healthier, not only for yourself but for your family.


Love Always,
