Renewal

People,even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, andredeemed

 ~ Audrey Hepburn

That Ms. Hepburnwas such a graceful and wise woman, wasn’t she? A friend shared this quoterecently and it really hit home.  Duringthis move to the farm, I have really lost my routine.  Actually, It seems like I have been on anextended vacation of sorts and we all know what happens on vacation, right?  Yes, lazy days....filled with eating foodsthat are a bit decadent, as you explore the unfamiliar and stay up later.  I have really enjoyedgetting familiar with my new hometown. It’s very quaint, historic and has aslow southern charm. However, I apparently thought I had fallen deep into aBlue Bell Ice cream commercial or at least a few gallons of it.  You fellow southerners know what I am talkingabout.....the serene ads with the "heavenly"cows walking through the texas bluebonnets, on the farm, mom in her apron andeveryone enjoying a bowl of Bluebell at the picnic table, under the big oaktree.  OR maybe it was the purchase of Pioneer Womans new cookbook.....Yes, the Dr.Pepper Pulled Pork was fabulous. And, forget my nature based workouts and barefoot runs.....ummmm, justtaking easy strolls on the land with the goats is not cutting it. I caught aglimpse of myself in the mirror the other day and nearly gasped. Who is that? Andhonestly, I could live with the increase in size my derrier but the fatiguethat has been creeping in....especially after my recent love affair withhomemade sourdough bread. A real yikes,from a girl who is a bit sensitive to the grains.

Well, aswe know out of despair comes motivation. I am revamping my schedule to get mybooty back in top shape. I have a future ahead of me at Three Goats Farm; of farming my goats,growing my food, starting my chickens and leading others to a REAL food lifestyle. That requires someserious energy friends. So, over the next few weeks, I will be sharing somemeal ideas, workout plans and motivation.  Diva’s, I would love some company. Are ya in? Justcomment below IF you want to hop on this ride to Restore, Renew and Reclaim ourhealthy and strong bodies. Off to clean out the pantry of some insidious itemsthat have invaded my healthy world, in the past few months. Sorry, Blue Bell. Ipulled out my five fingers and will hit sole to soil tomorrow.  I will do a mini Reboot over the weekend ofjuicing and the meal plan will be posted on Monday. Have a GREAT weekend Diva’s.
