Books, Books, Books!



Well, since I'm going for my annual visit to the states in just 5 weeks (WOO HOO!!!), I've started my annual book ordering-for me to pick up at my brother's house.

My first order was made straight off of KELLY O's site. I like to give credit where credit is due-and since I probably would not have heard about these books if it wasn't for Kelly-I probably wouldn't have bought them-so I figure, she should get the commission!



Those pics ended up a bit smaller than I wanted....but I think you can see it's "MASTER YOUR METABOLISM" By Jillian Michaels, and "DETOX FOR WOMEN" by Natalia Rose.

This is just the beginning! Like I mentioned in a previous post, I've been interested in a more whole food and balanced way of living for years. I've basically maintained that with a few hiccups-but now I really want to go more full-throttle, not full vegetarian-but definitely more vegetarian meals and for the first time-I'm thinking of adding more raw food recipes into our meals (not just salad-though I do make a damn good one! LOL) I thank Kelly for re-opening my eyes.

There are sooooo many blogs and sites out there chock-full of info about whole foods, raw food, vegetarian meals etc. I spent a good part of the weekend just pouring over them-and I barely touched the surface! I can't believe how many vegetarian and raw food recipe sites are out there-it's fabulous! I generally cook vegetarian once a week as it is-but now I may start twice a week realising there is sooo much more variety out there than I realised! I have put a few of the new links in my side bar-with more to come for sure!

I feel more energy just talking about it-LOL! Funny, how a little inspiration can just change your whole outlook. I've always said it's about balance-and that means regular fitness and good, REAL food! Throw in some meditation, yoga and of course a bit of personal pampering and I think it's a winning package!

Cheers!

I hadn't stumbled across those links as yet but thanks for posting about them. I like the look of "Detox for Women", it's right up my alley with where I'm headed with my adrenal fatigure recovery program as I'm calling it. Thanks Raechelle, you're a real gem for posting these books. My credit card thanks you. LOL!! ;o)
