I Love Mimi

2 Things..

1) Watch this video



2) This woman is my idol. End of story. Right now she is 73 years old. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? When I saw this video I was blown away, that is most likely the hottest 73 year old to have ever lived! I sure hope that I look like that when I am her age... Heck, I don't even look like that now, but I guess I still have 51 years to work at it! She is a vegan/raw eater and it is apparent that she has taken great care of her body (inside and out!) throughout her life. As I have grown up and started to gain my own sense of self, I have become more and more interested in healthy eating and nutrition. Ryan and I try to stick to clean gluten free and dairy free eating as well as avoiding processed foods. Obviously we are not perfect and obviously, some days I just want to down a cheeseburger and a coke BUT 90% of the time we do pretty good, and when that 10% comes around I am always always regretting it by how sick I feel after. I love the feeling of having a stocked kitchen full of healthy clean foods to feed my hubby and I! I think one of the most annoying things that someone can say to me is "Why won't you eat this? Are you on a diet? Diets are stupid!" For one, no I am not on a diet and two I am just trying to take care of my body and feed it the proper nutrition it needs! I know not everybody needs to go gluten free/vegan/vegetarian or anything, it really is all about what makes you feel great and what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. As for me, I'm gonna take a take a cue from Mimi - What you eat really does matter and it will make a huge difference in the long run!
