This is my one hundredth post at Baltimore Bliss. It was around this time last year that I became a vegetarian. Its funny that I took a step further recently by transitioning into a vegan diet. I am dedicated to continuing this journey. Next year, I'll be writing my 200th post and remarking upon the new healthy lifestyle choices I've discovered. It just keeps getting better.
Thank god for blogs. Sometimes I get a little blue, unmotivated, blah, whatever you want to call it. After reading a few entries by bloggers like Kris Carr, Bueller, LolaBloom, Bunny Berry, the crew at We Like It Raw, and many many more, my mood lifts and I feel motivated to get off my butt and do something productive (or at least be more positive and thankful)!
I think there is a Vitamix in my future...My hubby knows that it is at the top of my birthday wish list, so I'll let you know in a few weeks if he delivers! Hopefully, I'll be in Green Smoothie heaven soon:)
It is my fourth day on Natalia Rose's 21 day Life Force Energy Plan. So far, so good. I am keeping a food/mood journal and I hope that this exercise will help me realize patterns in eating and how certain foods and habits effect my well being. I am sticking to Rose's food combining guidelines, which has helped with digestion and general comfort throughout the day. Although breathing exercises are something that I became familiar with through yoga, the fact that these exercises are part of her plan help me to make time for them throughout the day. I am also paying special attention to my sleeping patterns and the amount of time between meals. Overall, my diet has become more raw and vegan over the past few days. I have integrated 70% organic dark chocolate into my diet because Rose states that 50 grams per day is ok...we'll see. Its difficult for me to stop at 50g! I am eating more fruit in the morning also.
Its too soon to tell how this new lifestyle has effected me, but I'll let you know over the coming weeks!
ps- Oprah is doing a 21-day vegan cleanse, check it out!

Happy 100th post!!! That's awesome!
Happy 100th post, this is so great! I am very happy for you and all of the changes you've been making. It's been a journey very similar to what I see myself going through and it's SO fantastic to know that there are other folks out there experiencing the same things.
And thanks for the shout out btw! I wish I had been a better blogger girl lately but I'm back at it with way too many ideas that I just have to get out!
Congrats again, you also inspire me to continue on my path, I know I'm finding the way, slowly but surely!
oh...and I'm wanting a vitamix SO bad, it's on the top of my list too ;)
