    Default Impressive, Revvell

    I just polished a HUGE bowl of marinated greens, after a very large green smoothie earlier.
    Did a little dancing around the house. Now- Laundry! Lift that barge! Tote that bale!
    And then a walk this afternoon. I'm nursing this bulged disc at L5, so am taking it easy. This is the first day in weeks I haven't been popping Advil for it. Giving thanks.

    Congrats! I'm hoping that heals!

    Hi Revvell and you other Green Smoothie fans. I may as well join you here since I drink a lot of these anyway and that is all I have been having for the past couple of days. I am trying to get off coffee again by using the smoothies.

    Today I juiced beets, carrots and cucumber and added this to blueberries, bananas, 2T ground flax seeds, and some swiss chard in the vita-mix. It was just right for the whole day. Usually I make far too much. Not this time.

    This was a great idea Rev, since no one is on the "Challenge" at the moment.

    Sue.

    Hey Sue, welcome! Glad to have you on board. I'm on my 3rd glass of smoozie!

    Did some light bodyweight moves a bit ago too!

    Yes it was, thanks. It'll keep me motivated to behave myself.

    I had the green smoothie to start with-------kale, frozen cherries, grapes, spirulina, slippery elm, coconut shreds, coconut milk, coconut kefir, dates, and aloe vera juice.
    next meal, a bowl of mung bean sprouts with lime/evoo
    dinner-large salad of cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, and sauerkraut, dressing was honey, mustard, olive oil, coconut vinegar, fennel flowers, rosemary, sea salt.
    afternoon exercise was speedbag work on the bongo board, and squats on the same.
    evening....a couple miles around the hood on the bicycle

    Well, I'm too late for today, but definitely on board for the next 2 days! (And maybe I'll do it Monday, too.) My husband and I had some cooked food tonight. But tomorrow is a new day, and we've been doing pretty great. With the exception of tonight.

    I'm also thinking about trying out some yoga tomorrow!

    Heyyyy Pixie ~ Welcome! Yes, join in! I'm on my 3rd glass of the day. Thinking I "should" get out for a walk or, maybe just put some music on downstairs and DANCE!!!

    Um, wait a minute. Wasn't there a link to a YouTube vid on here? Maybe cause I'm into "reply"? Or, was it somewhere else?

    Ohhh, thank the gods for editing!! Here it is!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoaTl7IcFs8

    I noticed this thread this morning while drinking my green smoothie and thought "oh, yes!". I've just polished off my second quart of it (stinging nettles, kale, orange, banana, soaked dried apricots, and maca). Just returned from picking some chard at the community garden for a green soup (but that may not happen till tomorrow).

    My pattern lately has been to have just fruit and smoothies till about 5 pm, then I snack on a mixture of raw foods plus one or two SAD foods I'm still waiting to be ready to give up. (One of them I refuse to have at home, so I have to go out and buy my daily ration, if I want it that badly.) I can give them up for three days.

    Exercise? Oh, whine, that's harder! Okay, I'm just about to go do a few hours of yoga (after I wash that chard I just picked). Maybe I'll even also bounce a bit on the beautiful rebounder I bought a year ago and have barely used (after i first clear some junk off of it!).

    Hey Pixie, I may continue with you on Monday.

    Thanks for all you contribute here, Rev!

    Been pretty darn good today. Just smoozies and water with oj. Might have some grapes later. Very energized! Thinking I'll be up and out walking early tomorrow. I've got enough smoozie left-over which I'll have in the a.m. after my walk and work-out. Then, make more! I usually make 1/2 gallon. So, this a.m. I had a large glass from the day before. Guess I'm drinking about 1/2 gal. per day ~ give-or-take ~ this weekend.

    Not hungry. Not tempted by His food. We'll see how it goes! :)

    Everyone have a great evening/day (depending on where you are!).
