This morning I had to take my daughter to the dr's for her school physical. I love when people look at me crazy when I ask for an immunization exemption form. She hasn't had shots in over 3 years and is healthy as a horse. Shoooot, the girl is 8 and only 9 inches shorter than me.
I changed up my morning routine just a tad for today. Instead of starting off with the lemon water mixture I had some coconut water (pasteurized boooooo) that I had pre-feast and wanted to use. Plus I had seen an interview from Raw Foodist Aris La Tham saying that when you drink coconut water first thing in the morning it's like showering your body from the inside out; flushing out the toxins. So I drank that while at the dr's office.
When I got home I was soooooooooooooooooo tired. If I could get one good night's worth of rest I know I'd feel better, b.u.t for some reason I woke up and my Sun was not in the bed. He was standing next to the bed...doing what I have no idea. I think he may have been sleepwalking because he didn't make a sound. I told him to come to bed and he did. *shrugs*. Well anyway I attempted to take a short nap, b.u.t that was impossible since my Sun was up watching Dora, Diego and Umi Zoomi. After I laid there semi conscious for about an hour/hour and a half I got up and made some juice:
I call this Buddha Juice...
the one on the left is plum, mango and strawberries and the one on the right is my usual favorite green concoction of spinach, parsley, cucumbers, apple, lemon and this time with some added pineapple for 'volume'. I'm running out of fruits; only down to lemons, limes and a handful of blackberries. I'm good on the greens and carrots b.u.t I need to get to a store tonight and if no one takes me then damnit i'm walking.
I feel sexy today though. I did not get on the scale last night nor this morning...I don't want to fall back into that terrible habit of letting the scale dictate my day. B.u.t I feel like a change is slowly happening...is it because I'm not on my moon cycle anymore? Is the idea of juicing and my 'lady time' ending a combination placebo affect for making me feel this way? *shrugs* I would like to see how it changes next month....
You know what's hard? Not to nibble...not to taste test when I'm preparing food for the babies. That's like a 'mom habit'...testing to food to ensure it's not too hot, or to get them to eat....it's been really hard, b.u.t I'm doing well. Normally when the family is eating, I'm in my room...the further away, the better.
Paz!
