Well, I missed you.
After the race I really needed to spend some time re-grouping. You know, you hold something as a Goal in front of you for so long and then when you achieve it, you have to stop and think “What will I do next?”
But while I was trying to decide my next move, my husband decided to surprise us with a family vacation to Greece! So off we went, totally spontaneous-like.
Love-struck at the Parthenon
We had our Passover seder with Chabad of Athens (and 200 other Jews from Greece and all over the world!). The vacation was awesomely fun, but eating was a bit difficult for me. Not only was it Passover (no bread or flour products etc), but Greece is not really such a vegetarian-friendly place! In fact, I found that just asking “Do you have anything Vegetarian?” was a remarkably effective way of getting rid of the restaurant hawkers that follow you down the street trying to convince you to eat in their taverna. They dropped me like a hot potato every time I asked that! I ate A LOT of cucumbers, tomatoes, and french fries and not much else!

Now that I have had a few days at home, mainly spent sleeping for hours and hours and eating MY FOODS, my plan for my next goal(s) is solidifying. Here are some of the things I will be working on here on the blog for May:
Goal #1: Blog Every day! I want to blog mostly food and recipes, because quite frankly it has been about 2 months since I have done much interesting cooking and my family looks sad and malnourished. If I know I have to blog something interesting, I will have to cook it first!
Goal #2: Do a blog series about getting into the exercise habit, especially about running and training for races.
Goal #3: Run a couple of workshops in May, probably a 30-Day Detox and also a cooking class. Let me know if there is anything you’d like to see offered or any times and days you’d like to request.
Goal #4: I’m teaching a family nutrition workshop at City Kids in Tel Aviv on May 16th at 20:30. You can read more about that and City Kids HERE.
Goal #5: Personally I am also working on a few things: I’m going to be back in the gym after a hiatus, justa working on my fitness. I’m doing a gigantic project with my coach to help me gain some clarity in a few areas. And additionally, I want to have May be totally Vegan. I’ve been eating lots of eggs and dairy in the past 3 weeks or so and I want to cut them back out. I feel better without them, not to mention how much better my skin is without dairy, Holy Cow, literally!
So that’s where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. I hope you will be here reading with me and leaving me your comments and feedback.
