Blogs and Breakfast

This is it- my first blog entry. Special thanks to Amy Prokop for getting me going. So, I'm wondering about you, fellow blog readers. What brings you here? And what makes a blog worth your time? Surely, it is not to find out what people had for breakfast. However, I would like to ask for your input on a breakfast challenge I am currently facing.
I have been dealing with a few health concerns and I'm longing to do everything in my power to heal in a natural way. I'm on a major health kick right now, which (as with every health kick I've ever been on) I'm hoping will last forever. I'm exercising regularly. Oh! That brings me to an important aside...I secretly long to have an "S List", like Oprah's "O List" in her mag. So, I'm going to post things here from time to time that I would put on my list of "things I think are just great". "S List" item number one: online personal training from http://www.gymamerica.com/. You input your goals, your current ability (like how many push-ups you can complete) and boom- it gives you a calendar with a specific training regimen tailored to your needs. I'm doing the 28-day women's toning program right now. I'm in week 2 and so far I've only missed one day (it's a 7-day a week workout). It's tough getting to the gym on travel days, but Ron and I are doing our best. We are at home in Jersey right now which simplifies everything. Ron (my husband) is on a health kick as well, but his is more about his waistline. Though I am as vain as the next person (almost cried yesterday when my hair was cut too short...ridic) I am motivated more by pre-cancerous cells and my tendency toward depression, particularly in the colder months. So, back to my health kick and my breakfast dilemma. One of the things I have been most excited about on my wellness plan is getting into the whole juicing thing. Did any of you see the awesome documentary "Crazy Sexy Cancer"? (Check out the website and read Kris Carr's fantastic blog.) I saw Kris, who has Stage Four cancer, on Oprah and immediately ordered her book "Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips." (Put that book on my "S" List, too.) Kris investigated every possible remedy to heal her body and one of the things that is working for her is drinking vegetable juices in the morning. Dr. Oz just talked about them this week on the Ops, too, as part of his "aging well" program. Well, I quickly ordered my Breville compact juicer and this morning I whizzed together some kale, parsley, celery, cucumber, apple, and lemon...YUMMY! It really tasted surprisingly good. Ron even drank a glass. I feel like juicing is essential to my reaching the level of optimum health that I'm after. So, here's the problem. We're leaving home tomorrow to hit the road again. Ninety percent of the time, we are in hotels. Even if there is a mini-bar (which is not always the case) it's pretty hard to stuff a bunch of kale in one of those little boxes. The juicer takes up a lot of space in a suitcase, and where do I go to get organic produce in each city? Ron thinks I am absolutely batty for even contemplating traveling with a big ol' juicer. What do you think? It would be a giant inconvenience to schlep all that stuff around and try to juice veggies in a small hotel room with two adults and two big dogs. But, as I keep reminding Ron, chemotherapy would be a bigger inconvenience. Let me be clear: I do not have cancer. But shouldn't I (heck, shouldn't we all?) be doing everything in my power to stave off the bad cells? To pack or not to pack the juicer? That is the question. Tomorrow, we shove off to Cleveland. So, respond pronto! And what would be tops on your "Your first initial List"?
