A New Approach To a Healthier Me
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? (Quoted from Marianne Williamson)

My husband and I are planning to return to Hawaii next year, and I want to be slimmer and fitter for that trip. Going mostly vegan has made a huge difference in my over all health and greatly improved medical tests. I still eat wild fish, but I eat mostly legumes, nuts, vegetables, and fruit. I also try to stay away from caffeine.
In Kauai, my husband and I had a wonderful time cooking up wild mahi mahi and wild salmon, along with trying out fresh pineapple, papaya, mango, canteloupe, oranges, and other fruits from the island. That was the most fun either of us ever had cooking, and we looked forward to every meal. (For lunch, we would buy a veggie sub from Subway to split at the beach or other adventures.)
I now want to build on that by learning at least 20 new vegan recipes this month and creating my own personal cookbook. I am paying much more attention to my diet and trying to go organic whenever I can.
Fitness continues to be a major goal. I am continuing to build my fitness levels. My goal is to be able to run 7 miles by March 2010.

My Goals:
My goals include getting healthier and fitter. I have recently changed to a mostly meatless (except fish), dairy-free, caffeine-free, sugar free. I've begun learning to cook my own organic lentil and bean soups. I would like to drop four sizes in clothes by the end of the year.
My Program:
Treadmill for one hour per day, alternating high-low from 4.5 range down to 3.5. My goal is to get from 5.0 to 6.0. Add 30-60 minutes of ellyptical most days. Running 3 to 4 miles 3 times per week.
Strength training is Jari Love Extremely Ripped with two eight-pound weights.
Personal Information:
My husband and I both live in the city, and we love the convenience of it. I miss the ocean, as I grew up in Maine. We try to get to the ocean any chance we can get.
Other Information:
My husband and I plan to return to Hawaii next year. I am hoping to be in much better shape in order to hike ancient Hawaiian trails.
I also hope to return to St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands and to some day hike the Himalayas.
