Day 12

9 more days!! I feel like a kid approaching summer vacation :)

  So today is another beautiful day! I decided to go full force for the last ten days. There was a major factor in this decision. *WARNING: what follows deals with "womanly issues" so if you are squeamish skip to the next paragraph. Today was "day 1" for my monthly visitor (Aunt Flo) and last week there was no indication she was approaching. No backaches, no moodiness. And today I had only minimal cramping in the evening. No extreme tiredness, no wanting to curl up in a ball with a heat pack on my tummy. It is almost miraculous. If I feel this good, during this time of the month I'm sure going to keep it up, at least for the rest of this week.

 Back to the detox basics, no protien, no snacking. Pot of soup with at least 3 servings for the day. I ate all 3 servings today, for lunch, dinner and then at 8pm when I was craving MEAT.   

Tonight we went to Menards (save big money,when you shop Menards) to pick up supplies for the chicken coup. I was left to entertain princess while hubby unloaded our supplies. I raced her around the near empty parking lot in our shopping cart loaded with 120 pounds of wood pellets. Haven't had that much energy in a long time. Anna loved it. But she liked it even more when it was Daddy's turn. He can go waaaay faster :) David said he was surprised to see me running around pushing that cart. But it really didn't seem like that much effort and my knees were fine with it :)

 I leave you with one last recipe. Again, thanks to my hubby who suggested blending rather than juicing tonight.

Almost Sonic Strawberry Limeade:
Blend: 1/2 lb strawberries, 4 peeled and cored apples, a couple handfuls of red grapes, & juice of one lime 
makes about 4 servings

so yummy

and I bet it is even better in a vitamix!!
