Day Nine....

Well, yesterday I walked 4.8 miles!!! I thought initially it was only 3, b.u.t after clocking it in Google Maps, what a nice (b.u.t sore) surprise. :)

I went to the store yesterday. Alone. The children were with grandma; one was taking a nap and the other was online playing Webkinz. I really just needed some time alone. It was just my iPod, re-usuable Publix Breast Cancer Awareness bag, and me. It was a nice walk and not hot..warm and breezy (like me *smile*). And to be honest I really didn't even NEED to go to the store b.u.t I'm realizing today as I'm juicing that I'll need to tomorrow. So guess who'll be lacing up her sneakers again. This time I'll have to bring my Sun b.u.t we have the stroller so it won't be so bad. I think I'll go early after I drop my daughter off at the bus stop because it's still cool at 8am.

In the next couple of weeks I'm going to be saving up for a sewing machine. I love those long shoulder bags, and would like to make some for myself and to sell. This should be fun since I haven't been on a sewing machine since 7th grade and I'm 30 now. O_o

Here's my Day 7 video:

I gotta be honest here, I'm really homesick. And it's tempting to want to stay down here with these foreclosed and short sale (gorgeous) condos on the market, b.u.t I know a lot of my business will be in NYC where it's flooded with culture. I miss hopping on the subway or bus and I'm in Manhattan in 20 minutes. I miss my honey...I miss my friends and monthly Parliaments in Harlem. *sigh*. I told my King that in 3 years I'll be back permanently. You never know, I may buy a condo down here and just be a 'Snowbird' and hang down here in the Winter. As long as I'm selling my goods online, I can sell them from anywhere, b.u.t in NYC there's so much more opportunity to vend at events and weekly artist markets. The Florida demographic down here is more geared toward Nature, the NYC demographic is more geared toward Culture and Truth.

This should be interesting.

Green Juice=Zen

I decided to make some juice today to see how much I would need to fill up one of these Mason joints.

Well....one of my favorite green juices was made at this place called Nutrition S'mart, which is like...my Utopia here in Florida since Whole Foods is not anywhere nearby. It'd been a few years since I been there, b.u.t always remembered the recipe for their green juice.

Apples, lemon, cucumber, spinach and parsley. I did add a pear at the end because it wasn't quite a quart's worth....it was SO DELICIOUS. Lemony and fresh. I don't know, I can't describe it, b.u.t it's very refreshing and not 'greeny'. My children actually drank some and liked it...and they're very picky. Well...my Sun not so much.

This was the end result:

And I'm not even hungry and it's been a couple of hours since I made this...if I was on my feast already it'd be just about time for another juice.

Only thing really left to do is do some light grocery shopping on Friday and on Sunday it'll be game time.

The only thing I'm torn on in terms of this process is the protocol of a daily enema. I'm not equipped for that, and even if I was, I can never go to the bathroom without an audience (my children) and do I really want to be caught lying on the floor with a tube up my butt? 'Eliminating' has never been an issue for me, and I don't anticipate it being an issue in the near future, b.u.t I do not want to hold in any toxins that cannot be released on their own. I was contemplating a lymph drainage massage during the journey, or a colonic to help with that...

??

We'll see what manifests...

Peace.
