Today was the hardest day for me by far!
I have just been feeling out of sorts and way to grumpy. I think a really good nights sleep will make it all better. :)
Sometime this afternoon I had a slice of tomato but wasn't hungry. I was hoping it would help make me a little less ba hum bug and less grumpy. I didn't really work.
I was feeling all sort of our of it ...still thinking it's from getting so bummed over the scale this morning.
I decided to take a long walk in hope of it making me feel better. By the time we got home I was drinched with sweat and stunk like an onion. I have reached a personal best with my steps today :)
A bit later i started feeling ba hum bug again but I really wasn't hungery. But in hope of getting a boost of energy I made a smoothie.
I had a green smoothie but was unable to finish the whole thing. I think I will start making 1/2 the recipe and then if I want more make some.
Green Power Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
2 mangos
1 ripe peach
big handful arugula
big handful kale leaves
big handful parsley
Directions;
Blend all ingredients together at high speed.
Made 6 cups. I was able to finish about 1/3 of it.
This would have been better if I liked arugula better or had added a bit less arugula. It was really like drinking lettuce!
I am really missing hot soup and lemon water. I"m looking forward to the first day off my 7 day detox and a hot bowl of meso soup :) or some other veg soup.
This week I have learned I was eating much more than my body really needed and I really shouldn't eat onion. I have also learned many great raw food recipes that we will be using again. Some of them (I think) would make some yummy hot soups. I really really like hot soup. Even when it's hot outside. I like a lot of clear broth and the warm feeling of hot soup or tea. That's just me :)
It feels good to know I made it through today even though it was by far the hardest day for me. Up to now it's really been quite a breeze. (And boy have I been very happy over how much easier this has been than I had expected.)
I'm off to try and get a full nights sleep. I think I will feel much much better in the morning. :)
Keep doing a great job everyone! Our bodies will love us even more for taking care of them.
I hope a good nights sleep brings a happier day today! I also think it's okay to feel bah humbug sometimes, don't feel bad that you feel bad - our moods are like seasons and they can't all be warm and sunny!
ReplyDeleteBrenda is 100% correct!! And I think the preference for warm soup is another genetic thing--not only do I eat soup several times a week, but Gram lived off soups 75% of the time!! She nearly always had soup for supper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda :) Sometimes I need to be reminded it's really is ok to not always be up and it's ok to have a bad day. ( Just as long as it doesn't turn in to a bad week/year/ 10 years.....) I have to try and not let myself get to down or it can that a long time to climb out of the pit of ugh. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mom :) Yep...I remember all the soup you and I had when I was in high school. it was a quick and easy meal that we both loved :)
