My sister is a registered dietician, and has been having articles published on the food website epicurious.com. I have to say I’m quite proud of her, she’s spent years exploring food and nutrition, and has spent a great deal of time this past year taking additional nutrition courses, and writing food reports on literally thousands of recipes for the website, as well as starting to give lectures on sports nutrition and individual nutritional counseling.
I am looking forward to committing myself to good eating and physical activity ini the coming months. I’ve been fed a healthy dose of Israeli salad, pita and hummos, yogurts and fresh fruit, and fresh herbal tea, in the past 2 weeks in Israel, and I will surely make fruits and vegetables a significant part of my diet when I get home. I also plan on growing fresh herbs on my apartment’s roof.
I haven’t done much running while abroad, and I dearly miss it, and my body definately misses it. I recognize that running significantly improves my quality of life, and plan on running my way through NYC.
Tom. I fly home from Israel to NY, and I know I have a small window of opportunity to carry on the momentum I’ve felt while abroad. If I had another month here, I’d spend a good deal of time in the North, where the rockets have stopped falling and there are many beautiful hikes, wineries, and beaches. I’d also talk to more people about their political views, as everyone here has them…when I return home, I plan to keep my eyes open for new things in my own backyard.
One last afternoon to piss about in Tel Aviv…more education writing to come.
