30 Day Sleep and Fun Challenge: Day 2
I am excited by all the enthusiastic response to the 30 Day Sleep and Fun Challenge and Daily commitment to Health! Making commitments to others and publicly declaring them seems to be so motivating and helps you get in touch with what really matters.
Last night I made it to the bedroom by midnight and lights were out by 12:15. My husband came in at 12:30 and said I was sound asleep! Not 100% there yet close, and I’m excited by it. Remember, instead of beating yourself up if you came close to a commitment, applaud yourself for getting close and strengthen your commitment to get even closer. Use it as an opportunity to reflect on what you could do to get even closer.
My commitments for today:
1- Shut down the computer no later than 11:30, lights out by midnight
2- drink 2 quarts of green smoothie. I have already had 1
3- Exercise for at least 30 minutes
FOR Fun: Water color paint for 5 minutes (ok, lame, but 5 minutes is easy. It will likely be longer)
What are you committed to? Post below.
Love, Health and Joy to you,
Dr. Ritamarie

Sunshine and Fun are Vital to Your Health
It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Austin, today. Before I go outside and enjoy it, I thought I’d take a moment to connect.
I encourage you to please use your weekend to regenerate your energy from the week.
Get outdoors and replenish your vitamin D stores. I am discovering lots of vitamin D deficiencies in working with people lately. And be sure to refrain from washing with soap on the exposed areas for 48 hours after you get your vitamin D sunshine dose, or you may decrease your absorption of what your skin creates fromt he sunshine. It can take up to 48 hours for the Vitamin D to be fully absorbed. That explains why iI’ve been seeing deficiencies even in sun worshipers who dont use sunscreen.
Also important for your health is having fun. What will you do that’s fun today? Comment below. Please respect the importance of fun and recreation. They are up there with fresh raw and living foods and exercise.
If you live in or near Austin, join me and my friends for a raw foods potluck tonight. Go to www.drritamarie.com/potluck for more information and sign up to be part of the action at www.drritamarie.com/meetup.
Have a wonderful day.
Wishing you Love, Health and Joy,
Dr. Ritamarie
