Last night I attended a great lecture on reducing stress that highly recommended meditation - something I've gotten away from over the last few years.<br /><br />The food takes a bit to get used to but there are fruit baskets everywhere here. Lots of chopped or tossed salads which tend to become the basis of every meal. For breakfast I had an egg beaters omelet loaded with potatoes, onion, asparagus, tomato and peppers. It was delicious. Then a bountiful bowl of colorful fresh berries.<br /><br />Last night we had a cooked fish sushi, spinach quiche, ravioli with roasted vegetables, veggie burgers and other choices for dinner entrees. This is a slightly expanded menu for the first week that helps one adjust to the Pritikin diet a little slower. I personally am enjoying all the fruit and vegetables but only miss things like cream and butter.<br /><br />A few of us did a short walk nearby, I took a yoga class, lifted a few weights and before long it will be lunch time.<br /><br />Many guests are here for months as they get serious health and or weight problems under control and quite a number return time and again for "tuneups". The Pritikin staff is seeing more families and have several programs designed for long adults, teenagers and younger.<br /><br />Next addition tomorrow. <br /><br />Mary<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6267637288529578029-6058605397283125320?l=gallagherstravelshealthandbeauty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Gallagherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951302092942073007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267637288529578029.post-7503884217551983152009-08-23T21:41:00.000-07:002009-08-24T14:48:37.252-07:00Hello:<br /><br />Just to let you know I'm off to the <a href="http://www.pritikin.com/">Pritikin Longevity Center and Spa</a> in Ft.
