Compromise...

Compromise. That is what life is all about, right?!? There has to be some version of compromise or else nobody would get anywhere with themselves or others. In getting ready to turn thirty, this is a pretty big deal, learning to compromise and truly being okay with that compromise; realizing that there is a difference between compromising for a cause versus compromising oneself and your beliefs. At the end of juicing day 3, my husband was struggling a bit with the juices, especially the green ones. This prompted a discussion about realistic goals, the future, and what this meant for juicing... the results:
1. We are going to stick to juicing during the day.
2. For dinner, we will have an overall raw friendly meal.
3. We will continue to avoid processed sugars and prepared foods.
4. We will continue exercising and working out. 
This, for us, is still a huge commitment, and we applaud anyone sticking with juicing only. This is not a cop out, for us these steps are still steps toward a healthier overall journey in life. We believe, for us, this is the best situation in making strides to incorporating a healthier lifestyle as we continue our journey together. It is also important that we are supporting one another in this journey. We just know that we want to continue to be active, in better shape for snowboarding season (72 days away), and we want our future children to be healthy and active and that will begin with us.  
What this means to you: Whatever you a struggling with, fighting about, or debating - find a compromise; sometimes this is the best thing you can do to find the right path for you. Remember, everyone is walking a different path and struggling with different things, just because your paths are different does not mean that you shouldn't find an intersection every once in a while.
