No unprocessed food has been great so far. I have fallen into a smooth rhythm. Most of the time I am not even thinking about food at all. I hope to fall into the same kind of rhythm with writing and shooting again too.

In the morning we have fresh juice from the juicer: pineapple, green apple, red apple, pear, carrots, celery, kale, spinach and beet.

For lunch it is usually a salad and leftover soup from the night before.

For dinner, I have made a fresh soup each night. I love just looking around at what we have and making a soup out of it. We have had lentil, pumpkin-peanut butter, pinto bean, black bean, vegetable, coconut curry and peanut in the last couple of weeks.

Last night we had deep fried kale with our silky black bean soup and it was heavenly!

I have also kept on track with my turtle step workouts. I have increased the walking and stretching. I have also added some slow core workouts: the ball and shooting with a macro lens in pre-dawn and twilight.... don't laugh at that it is hard as hell to hold your whole body still with that big lens and very little light. I am also doing a lot more dancing while doing housework.

I have lost almost 40 more pounds since mid-June. I feel alive, very few body aches, very clear headed and tons of energy. My flexibility is coming back and feel stronger. I know my clothes feel different too. It was a crazy feeling to put on a pair of pants that were 14 sizes smaller than pants I wore just 3 years ago. Even my shoe size has gone down!

I hope our journeys with food help inspire you guys to make turtle steps in your eating and movement routines.
