Mikey Likes it! He Likes it!

Went shopping and loaded up on leafy greens for green smoothies. I feel I need more green smoothies in my life :)
I made one with kale, spinach and banana. I leave the kitchen for two seconds I come back to find this:


Kodak moment! Could not let that one get away. Drinking it right out of the vitamix! You can't get any better than that. :)
I am glad he likes it. I have been trying to get Steven to eat more greens. He has not yet found a salad dressing that he likes. So this is perfect.

Got Green Smoothie?




Yesterday I had:

1 Liter of Green Smoothie
1 Lara Bar
Way to much Creamy Portabello Bisque (Ani Phyo)

I can swim in that soup I love it so much.

I am off to study Pre-Algebra...joy..joy!!

Mushroom Soup and Fish Fry

Last Friday my place of employment had their annual fish fry. Thousands of people showed up for a free fish plate. I stood all day serving fish and hush puppies to people. While my other co-workers serve cole slaw, potato salad and tarter sauce. We had 2 stations going and it was non stop. I will be honest the fish did smell good but I had no desire for any. I guess I'm not at that stage yet where cooked food smell does not appeal to me.
During my break I had Ani Phyo's mushroom soup....that recipe is awesome!! I love it. I think I'm going to make it at the next raw pot luck we have. my son who loves Campbell's mushroom soup did not like it. He does like the marinated mushrooms though just not the Brazil nut soup.
I usually eat pretty small during the day with juice, fruit and a few veggies and then have a salad when I get home. I think I am going to switch that up. My weight has went up just a little. I think I need to eat my salad during the day and eat small in the evenings before I go to bed whether it be a green smoothie or some fruit.
We will see how that goes.

Steven's Raw Lunch

My son Steven

I wanted to post this video of my son making his fave raw snack of Almond Butter, Agave and Bananas. It so cute. He had a little trouble pronouncing a few words...hey who could sat "transitioning" at 9 years old :)

Juice Day

Today is juice day! I will be having carrot juice. I will be jucing at least twice a week. Today is going to be a good day. I purchased Angela Stokes e-books how to go raw for weight loss and the physical changes when raw. I am excited to read them. I wanted to read her story. As I have said before she is a very sweet woman.
I missed the Raw Spirit Fest this year....so sad. Schall Adams was there as a demo coach. I am going to make plans to go next year.



In Health,

Done

I have decided to quit my juice feast after 40+ days. I am just exhausted. I was not drinking enough juice. It was hard to get it all down. So the lack of juice I was really tired.
I am proud that I have lasted as long as I did. Now it's back to eating at least 80% raw and getting on the treadmill.
