Running in the AM and then spending a whole day in DC wore me out. On the drive home – the lull of the road can put me right to sleep — and that carried over to our arrival back home. We got home and within 30 minutes, I snuck upstairs and went to bed – in my clothes, full make-up. I didn’t get up until almost 8a this morning. Over 12 hours of sleep — and it felt great.

I’m taking it easy today from working out — Spring Break is upon us here in Loudoun County!

I was talking to my brother this weekend about overall nutrition and food this weekend. One thing he advised me to do – buy Organic Strawberries!  Because they do not have thick outer skin, strawberries should be something you don’t scrimp on — they are full of pesticides when you buy regular ones. So while they may be more expensive organic – health-wise it’s worth it.

Read about what foods you should ALWAYS buy Organic from Dr. Weil.

Also I found this really good article in the LATimes about Organics:

Some consumers are more than willing to pay higher prices for organically grown food and other products. But is the extra dollar worth it? The answer may depend upon personal priorities.

By definition, organically grown foods are produced without most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge. Livestock aren’t given antibiotics or growth hormones. And organic farmers emphasize renewable resources and conservation of soil and water.
