- a handful of Spinach/Kale/any dark green leaves you prefer
- 1/4 cup of water
- one frozen Banana
- a couple of blueberries/strawberries (Optional)
- a tsp of ground flax seed (Optional)
I enjoy a 16 oz glass of this green smoothie every morning. It is so smooth and creamy. I tend to make it with only Spinach or Kale and banana. It is the best way to get your vegetable quota in effortlessly.
So needless to say, I have been rather neglectful of this here blog and it just might be time to return to business as usual!
So summer is officially over and autumn is upon us like a fly on blue cheese. The awesome part of this season is the beautiful color change we get to enjoy for the next couple of weeks - more so for us in the heartland. What is the worst part, you might ask? the emninent danger of the looming mounds of snow that are bound to fall any time after thanksgiving or who knows even sooner - yikes!
So much for optimism!
So in an effort to contain my rumblings and trying to keep in context with the subject of blog, I should perhaps give you all an update on my health and physical well being.
First things first, am now a member of a gym (which btw I haven’t been to in like 5 weeks or so
Second, I decided to give the Master Cleanse a try and can you believe I stuck it out for 11 days? Yes 11 days of just the lemonade mix and the most disgusting flushes ever. I lost 15 lbs and my skin was unbelievably clearer than I have ever seen it. The only glitch was when I returned to regular eating I was hit with crazy acid reflux for days which I suppressed with licorice. After the cleanse I have maintained a diet of mostly raw food and the occassional cooked meal at an indian restaurant. I have continued losing weight with minimal exercise as the only exercise I get is walking my dogs and occassionally a stroll around my work campus after lunch.
Third, I have also altered what my dogs eat to try and avoid as much unnatural food as possible. I had them try Nature’s Variety Instinct line which has no grain and that only lasted 2 days before they turned up their noses at it. So now I have them on the Prairie line which they still seem to enjoy. Some of the things I have noticed that I like is they have less poop and less stinky poop (TMI). So let’s all cross our toes and fingers that they will continue to love this food:-)
So that is where I am health-wise…..
Oh yes - I splurged a little this summer and bought a vespa - Yay! I will post pictures shortly. I don’t have a name for her yet so perhaps you all can suggest some cool names for my fire red hot ride….
Hey how about this freaking financial mess - my retirement account is nose diving like crazy…I guess I can kiss it all goodbye 
I told you I would be rumbling…..How was your summer?
