My diet & detox journal

Yiperoosky! Is that a word? Ha. My sister will understand, the woman who has always encouraged my extemperaneous vocabulary development!

So, more news… In a few short days I leave behind the COLD snowy west, and will be driving back to Florida solo! Can you imagine that we have had 7 snows in 7 weeks here in Boulder, and one more is headed this way next weekend? That is kinda why I have decided to move up my roadtrip so that I will head out on Thursday instead of the weekend that follows…

Is this a beautiful picture, or what? This is a picture of the FlatIrons, but unlike the previous shot I included in my last blog, this is in the snow, and I owe Colorado University credit (thanks) for the shot. I’m not so talented as to capture that kind of image, especially when you consider the closest thing I have to a camera right now is my Razr phone! I will say that I have had a gorgeous view from my condo balcony, though. It faces directly west, and is right up against some unincorporated portions of the county, so there is nothing blocking the view of the mountains. I have spent many a morning looking out at similar vistas as in the picture here. I have made that a priority, actually, to not take the chance for granted. It is truly amazing to see such creation up close.

Snow snow snow snow snow. Its beautiful yes, but how many days of ice can this Florida-Caribbean loving girl handle before her fingers and toes become ice cubes and her lips turn blue? I suppose I will never know, will I?

Anyway, what I am trying to say is Hurrah! I’m headed back east to Florida! It was just decided, last week actually. So, I am returning to FL for a new job title, a new way to collaborate with Renew Life Formulas, and a new way to find my joy in life… Meet the new Marketing Education Manager~ As always, the title is meaningless really, it kinda just means that I will direct report to the Marketing VP, instead of the Education Director, but I will get to work with some really cool new projects, like Webinars, and Online Education modules. Sounds pretty good to me. And I have never been one for titles, anyway, as I think that the more hats we wear, the greater the chance we have to benefit those who we work for. I’ve served as salesperson, sales manager, educator, teacher, curriculum developer, division manager, etc. I do believe that my experience will serve me well in my new position.

The mountains are wise and tall, and have showed me much. I will certainly come back for a visit again one day soon. Especially to get an opportunity to SKI!!!! I have had plans to go skiing mid February, next weekend to be exact, and that was foiled by need for the upcoming roadtrip. Probably for the best, anyway. Knowing my tendency for accidents, I’d probably fall down on the lift, and break an ankle! LOL!

So my latest food fad is frozen pineapple. Can you imagine eating frozen fruit when it is four degrees outside? But for the first time, I have encountered a frozen fruit that doesn’t rip up my belly. I chalk it up to the naturally occuring enzyme in the pineapple which is able to assist my digestion. As we well know, my IBS goes batty when I eat things like frozen berries. But, the pineapple is a party, and my body is loving it. Yum! It is just as good as the fresh stuff actually. And, for some reason, eating it frozen, it doesn’t burn up my lips. Go figure.

So, I best be packin’. This gal has miles to go before she sleeps. (Ok, ok, I know, departure is still three and a half days out, but you know what I mean!)

See ya all on the beaches… Caz
