Here's to the Christmas season!!

 Hello to all of you..wanted to share a few pics from this weekend..it was super busy and I must say..today I am totally wiped out..trying to catch up on all of my homework for this week and get ready to head to Kaiserslautern once more this weekend..great this is my son will be speaking with the recruiter while we are there so it will most definantly be a productive weekend. First..cheers to you all, I hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving had a good one with family and friends, we had counting us.. 11 people for our feast, it was good but you know how in every family you ALWAYS have to have a couple of people who are alomst just flat out unpleasant to be around?? Well, this was no exception, I had to break my no alcohol rule for the wekkend and just said Prost! to the whole thing, forget that it took about 3 days of preparation and some only ate maybe a half a plate of food..whatever..5 star restaraunts have nothing over what came out of my kitchen this weekend..so..their loss! Below is the bird..no, I did not indulge..kept true to my Vegan standards but it was almost like

food porn it was so pretty!! Do not know that I will be repeating such a production anytime soon..maybe if my family comes for the holidays. We spent the day yesterday at Schloss Gödens for the annual Weihnachts event..fond a fabulous purse..well, lets just say it was an early Christmas present to myself..but..rest assured ladies, it is drool worthy!! The day was good, we came home full of spiced wine and goodies..found some great Vegan spreads in different flavors there too..cannot wait to dig into them! Happy to report the sun is tryingto shine this (almost) afternoon, maybe I will find my energy source..settiing a goal to reach 63 kilograms by

 end of December, will once more concentrate on eating along more of a Raw line..not so easy and I keep falling off of the wagon but try try again..as of this morning I am going be try and begin everyday with 2 cups of hot water with lemon juice and cayanne pepper as a detoxic drink..it does not taste as bad as it sounds, will begin today also to try and drink 1 green smoothie everyday..I can not commit to everyday as I am often gone during the month and have no kitchen available but when I am home..will have to restart the cleanse that I started last month..what was I thinnking trying to initiate all of these crazy things right before the holidays?? I guess I figure I do not have enough stress right now..why not make drastic food changes right along with it all?? Even the critters are all laid out infront of the fire today..I think they sense my complete lack of motivation..but ...I refuse to be lazy and will at some point hop onto the treadmill and sweat it out and feel super happy about doing so..but for now, enjoyed seeing you all..back to page after page of homework....Happy Monday, be blessed and share a smile!!
