And this post has little to do with training, oh well! I spent my weekend enjoying my family, playing with the kids, working out, reading and thinking about a new bike. My focus was mainly on how we eat and how I am working very hard to "clean" things up. I am having pretty good success so far, we are pretty close to meat free, I am feeling great and I think JP and the kids are coming around too! JP actually commented to me tonight that he can't believe how good everything tastes, score one for me! I have to say this and you can believe it or not but since I have switched to organics and fresh ingredients my food bill is actually going down, processed food is expensive and when you count the cost of what it does to your body, it is really expensive! I will get off my soap box now, I am just really happy with how I am feeling, physically and mentally-it is an excellent feeling, no pharmaceuticals anymore for me. Tonight I made some spicy tofu, and spring rolls, I didn't quite have my chili garlic sauce to soy sauce ratio correct, it was REALLY spicy, it even made me sneeeze after my first bite; luckily it was just that bite that was super spicy! I took a picture of the dinner because I thought it was pretty, the photo didn't come out nearly as good as I would have liked!
I am owning the fact that I am going to buy a new bike, it was a conspiracy all along between my dad, brother-in-law, and husband they ganged up on me and knew that I would cave in, turds! It is going to be nice to ride a bike that fits me and my dad is going to buy my old bike to park in Kona, the bike that he currently rides while basking in the run is REALLY old so my old bike will be a step up.
It is going to be a good week, not really anything too exciting happening, I will be swimming tomorrow and embarrassing myself with my awful flip turns but I figure I have to practice to get better like anything else, I just appreciate that the lifeguards wait to laugh until I have my face back in the water :-).

The food looks yummy! It is amazing how much the food bill can come down if you cut back on some of the take out. I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Good for you for making a healthy switch for your family. I grew up on a dairy/beef farm. You would think that like my family I'd love all that stuff but I sight of red meat sickens me (on judgment on those who love it). I mostly eat fresh and local. (Most) everything in moderation...red meat and alcohol excluded. Someday I might get my hubbs to follow along but free will being what it is...
You are setting a great example of being more aware of what we are eating.
Good luck with those turns!
