Getting Organized

Book: I’ve purchased the 40 DAY TO PERSONAL REVOLTUION book from Amazon.  This book provides the concepts for the program.

Workbook: As I’m embarking on this journal alone without any workshop or structured program to guide me other than the book, I also purchased the 40 DAY TO PERSONAL REVOLTUION WORKBOOK to help supplement the program. 

Food: The book doesn’t contain specific meal plans and recipes for “balance dieting.  Just concepts.  There’s an phone APP available for a small fee which provides meal plans and recipes.  I opted out.  Although I might not always eat healthy – I definitely have that concept mastered and am not short of meal ideas or recipes.  Some of my favorite recipes come from my favorite collection of healthy eating books:

•          Clean Eats
•          The Beauty Detox Solution
•          PH Miracle
•          The Kind Diet
•          Crazy Sexy Diet
•          Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen

Journal: I think I have enough old notebooks, so no need to buy a new journal.

Yoga: The programs calls for yoga practice 6 days a week. My plan is to follow the yoga practice in the book, and supplement it with a yoga classes at the gym, and Kimberly Snyders’s new yoga DVD.  Love this new DVD and guidebook!

Minor Concerns:

1.  A few book reviews on Amazon indicate the program is difficult to follow on your own.  After reviewing the material, I somewhat agree.  The Workbook will help guide you as it contains the Weekly Theme & Readings, and also a Weekly Log.  If your motivated, have the Book the Workbook – I think this should be the bare minimum requirements.  Ideally, the perfect scenario is joining a structured program with a support group and weekly meetings.
2. The book contains references to GOD and quotes from Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi and others.   I’m spiritual and not religious.  I’m OK if references are made to learn a concept and lesson, but hope they don’t come across as “preachy” and religious.
