There are many many ways to slip antioxidants into your lifestyle. I've read that blueberries, green tea, moderate alcohol consumption, eating fish and exercising are a great way to ramp up your diet. But just because some things are good for you, doesn't mean they can't be fun.
FUN
Blueberry beer, Blueberry pancakes, blueberry schnapps, blueberry pie, having a best friend named Violet Beauregarde, chasing after Ryan Gosling while he's wearing bike shorts and has liberally applied oil to his amazing upper body...sorry, getting off track here....fishing for salmon off the back of the Queen Mary, and hiring Jillian Michaels as your personal trainer.
NOT FUN
Avoiding saturated fats (onion rings), taking statin drugs (side effects include memory loss which can make it difficult to find blueberry beer in the liquor store), balloon angioplasty (anything to do with balloons reminds me of clowns), nitroglycerin (I don't think I could be trusted with anything that sounds like TNT), bypass surgery (the only time I want my heart stopped is when I run into Ryan Gosling getting out of my shower).
I can do this, high cholesterol, see you later...
The reason I started this blog...
Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!
