Transition

Baby steps. I'm slowly moving toward my green goal one step at a time. Mornings are good. I've replaced coffee with wheat grass and feel much better. I've craved caffeine but realize it's an addictive drug and prevents your body from naturally waking up. That was step 1.

 Step 2 was cutting out the sugar including fruit. Now that I look back that was a big part of the problem. But I love peaches and had a dozen from Susan's Fruit-of-the-Month birthday gift. When those are gone I'll be more on track.

Step 3 no more beer or wine. Well I went to Terribles Pool Party tonight where all that stuff is free and was proud to have a plate with just celery, cauliflower, carrots, pepperchinis and olives. No fruit. No cheese. Just a small but modest desert or two and only a glass of white and half a glass of red. Transition. Even though I'm comped to the next 8 weeks of pool parties I don't think I'll attend anymore.

How can my blood sugar be high when I'm not taking in any sugar? Exactly! I'll just keep testing on the test strips and looking for the dark green result of optimum health. Between checking my blood sugar, blood pressure and pH levels I'm more dialed into my body than any lab specimen.

The trouble is that you think you have time. JACK KORNFIELD
