HLNB Summer Challenge - Day 22
Healthy Living Natural Beauty
June 22nd Day 22:
Exercise:
Yesterday I walked 3.5 miles and watered my garden. I also did some house cleaning and got some exercise running around the house and up and down the stairs. Wow, it's so hot out now that summer is here. I love it!
Just for fun:
Did you catch Duran Duran on Good Morning America last Monday? Well don't worry, if you missed it, I'm attaching a video of them singing "Reach Up For the Sunrise"! And there's a portion of their interview too. They were great, can't wait for the next tour and the DVD!
Note: You can turn off my blog music with the iPod player on the right hand side before watching the video.
Food:
I ate the fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast (Breakfast Jewel Parfait from Julie Anne Rhodes website), a tuna sandwich and shrimp tacos. I also drank 100% fruit juices with all three meals and drank some Peach Green Tea and 8 oz of green smoothies. I've also added some Stevia leaves to my smoothies. I've started growing the Stevia plants this summer. I really like the sweet taste, I like that they are natural and I also like that they won't give us cavities!

Items to note:
See my contact information on the tabs above if you want to send me an email with any questions or suggestions. With my "HLNB Challenge" I'm logging my daily activities of how I keep moving. I'm not offering any medical advice or making any guarantees. This is meant for fun and if you want to follow along I hope it will be fun and encouraging for you too. I'm also not logging everything I'm eating, only listing the healthier items. I'm trying to convert my family's food choices to more healthy options and fresh foods selections as well. On days I'm listing more it means I'm replacing less healthy foods with healthier choices. This is one of my personal healthy living goals. One day when I look back, I hope to see improvements on my activities and on my eating habits. Thanks for following along in the journey.

That peach tea looks heavenly. I didn't know that you could grow stevia, but the peaches make drinks sweet enough for me.

Oh, yes, this summer they had the plants on sale at our local grocery stores. They are annuals because they are very sensitive to cold weather and don't usually grow back. But you can get them in small plant form and if you water them regularly, they will spread and get very tall. You can add them to any foods. I also pick some and let them dry out then add them to baked foods. You can take the dried out leaves and grind them in a small blender to make them more powdery for baking. Great stuff and so much better for your teeth and blood sugar levels.
