I love my job. With that said , it was great taking a week of and enjoying time with my family . My son is eleven and my daughter is eight and they still think that I`m cool . I`m doing my best to take advantage of this now while they`re still eager to spend time with me . We hung out at our cabin near Lake Tahoe , skied, watched movies and just had a great time. For the last several years I have started out the month of January by either going on a raw diet or fasting for a predetermined length of time. A few years back, after being inspired by Ernie Reyes Sr., I ate only fresh fruits and vegetables for 35 days. This year , I am fasting for three days , then eating only fresh fruits and vegetables for the next four days, followed by four more weeks of a modified vegetarian version of Bill Phillips "body for life" .I`m already a vegetarian, I haven`t eaten meats, fish, or poultry since my first Tony Robbins seminar in March of 1989,so the vegetarian part is a no brainer, but the current fast I,m on is proving to be a great challenge . I continue to be impressed with this amazing group of people that on his put together . Bye for now
