Day 5 started out with chamomile tea with lemon in it. Yum... Then I made Green Drink with a red beet, 32 oz and drank it.
I went to my favorite BEST produce market, 1 mile from my home! I bought a lot of great food. A pineapple, avocados, granny smith apples, strawberries, bosc pears, swiss chard, spinach, cucumbers, lemons, plum tomatoes, kale, 2 stalks of celery, I think other stuff, but can't remember. Anyhow, the total bill was $32!! I got great prices on these primo items.
Late afternoon I made Tomato Florentine, using all fresh ingredients, except for the vegetable broth and almond milk. I have a feeling that I will be making vegetable broth from the juice pulp... I cut up onion, garlic, celery, put in sauce pan with small amount of olive oil, chopped tomatoes, cleaned and chopped spinach and set aside. Anyhow, to make this very simple, I don't want to give a recipe... After the stuff was cooked I used my stick blender for a smooth soup, added the spinach and almond milk, some balsamic vinegar, and small amount of hot sauce, etc. It was a little too hot, so I will go easy on the hot sauce next time. It was nice to have a warm something in my stomach, and that's what is so comforting about the chamomile tea.
I put on shorts today (79F here in FL today) and used my same ol', same ol' belt. I was in hole #2, and today I was in hole #4. I think I lost about 6 lbs since Jan 30, but I will make an official announcement LOL when I weigh in on Sunday.
I am so excited about going to my doctor in April. I can't wait to get the blood work results to see how I have improved. I don't want high blood pressure, I don't want high cholesterol, I don't want to be obese, I don't want an out of sight BMI, I don't want to take medication... Gaining my health through diet (and exercise) will have a benefit of losing weight....
Juice On!!!
