I'm running a bit late today, I got tied up in my morning meditation. Actually, that's a rather good thing, it's positive for my mind and body, but I still have to get to the swimming pool this morning (since I missed Tuesday's swim) so I'm on a time schedule on this - a "day off".
 |
I'm NOT someone who schedules everything. I tried that when I was younger and it just didn't work well for me. I have friends who do this religiously and it works very well for them. But it's simply NOT me. |
The only thing I have on my kitchen agenda today, however, is making my next batch of "Ogre Juice" so that I'm set for the next week. After so many years, I have this down to a fine science, and it takes me about an hour to get everything blended and into the refrigerator. When I first started WildFit almost four years ago (my next anniversary arrives next month), it took me all afternoon sometimes to get my alkagizers blended and into the refrigerator and freezer.
 |
The key to a successful alkagizer is to work with what's available and fresh as much as possible. I've learned how to work with it in my life over the past few years, and when I don't have my "Ogre Juice" for several days, I really feel the lack. |
I try to save time by making four portions at a time. It is a time saver in some ways, but I learned quickly that it was an equipment nightmare and what I wanted and didn't want to spend my time on to get them made. So, instead of buying a lot of raw veggies, I get some different salad mixes to add with a select amount of fresh veggies. I always make sure there is some of the good stuff in the mix - things like kale and cabbage, carrots and celery, hot peppers and fresh ginger. But I also buy salad mixes that already have the kale in them because it's really time intensive to do the prep work on a bunch of kale. Those photos of veggies scattered all over my stovetop are a thing of the past, but my alkagizers and my WildFit lifestyle is very much a thing of my present and future.
 |
When weeks compress, the way my holiday season did, I sometimes don't have the time to actually have my Ogre Juice. My body really missed it, and I was delighted to get back into the rhythm of Alkagizers once again. |
But today, I'm running off to the swimming pool because Tuesday was a "day off" for me and I allowed myself to sleep in on Tuesday morning. As it turned out, that was a good thing because the pool's chlorine levels were off and they weren't able to open until later in the day. So, it all worked out - LOL. I got my Tuesday sleep, and I'll have a Friday swim. I'm not sure who in the "gang" will be there - Rosemary will be, for sure, along with Connie and Karen, and maybe Mark. But my friend from down the street, Meg, is somewhere on a warm island for a week with her family. Her dogs and chickens are being cared for by a pet sitter. She's far more trusting than I am. I don't allow strangers to live in my house for a week.
 |
My friend Meg, who lives two blocks away from me and has two dogs and several chickens, is on vacation for a week or so in a nice, warm place with her extended family. She has a pet sitter for a week. The pet sitter has three dogs of her own, so currently there's one person, five dogs, and however many chickens are in the coop in the house, but only a single human. LOL |
So, I'm off and running. I hope all of you have a truly wonderful Friday and I'll be back tomorrow to wrap things up for the week. Please be kind to a stranger today, smile at a child and/or an animal, and allow peace to reflect from your heart. It's one infectious thing that we WANT to pass on to others - love, kindness and happiness. Slava Ukraini and חיים לישראל.
