birthday day

given my feelings about the numbers 13 and 31 it shouldn't really be surprising that many of my dearest friends are born on these dates.  today is an especially good day, not only because it's shay's birthday but life has brought me a new hilarious, amazing, scorpio, besty also born on this day.
happy birthday shay!  my deepest root.
happy birthday lauren!  my new main squeeze.  
i love you both so much and i'm so happy about you being born. xxxx  i hope i get to see you guys soon.  in nyc and australia.  respectively : )

radical health challenge:  instead of carb-loading with refined wheat, or rice, or some pre-game sports mix; before your next workout eat some raw veggies instead.

raw red cabbage offers cardiovascular support, digestive track support, it's anti-inflammatory, it's chock full of anti-oxidants and it's a cancer preventative.  just add some olive oil, some apple cider vinegar, some salt and pepper and it's also delicious..... oh yeah, and it's pretty.

food is medicine

after laying over bolsters and icing my shoulder all day i decided to concoct my own home made v-8 type drink;  mostly because almost all the ingredients are anti-inflammatory foods and clearly, i am inflamed.  i was so excited about this, certain that it would be awesome and delicious and great to share with everyone.  in my mind it would be so good that on a day when i didn't need the anti-inflammatory properties - i could add vodka!  it would be like a healthy cocktail.  so i set to work;  i used a half a clove garlic, a sprig of basil, a slice of onion, a bowl of spinach, a few sticks of celery and most of a cucumber.  then i blended the resulting juice in a blender with a tomato.

it was disgusting.
i should have just made a salad.

however, about an hour and a half later - the inflammation, along with the pain, had gone down considerably.  so i still consider this a success story.  (the moral is, drink your veggies.)
