a much better day

Okay, it's day 2 and although it's little more than halfway over (and the start to the Memorial Day weekend), I've done GREAT today.  I must admit, I am looking forward to doing The Master Cleanse and ridding my body of some (or a lot) of stuff!  43 years of SAD is, I'm sure, the root of my health problems, along with being "fluffy".  Yesterday I didn't make it even till lunchtime before I thought I was going to pass out.  At least today, I've felt better.  


Breakfast is going to have to change for Kenny LOL.  I have been drinking smoothies this time of year for a very long time, he has not.  Yesterday was bad.  I made the smoothies better this time and with his favorite fruits, but he let me know that smoothies are NOT his thing!  He asked me if he's going to have to drink green smoothies every day now, all the while producing this twisted face that was saying "ewwwwwww GROSS"!  For me, green smoothies will work.  For him, they will not.


So I did some looking and researching.  I found THIS yummy recipe for a "raw muesli cereal" that we will have to try.  Heck, I'd sure eat it!  


So far today, this has been my diet:  large green smoothie (2 bananas, strawberries, about a cup of baby spinach, and a little stevia to sweeten) early this morning for breakfast, half a pear about 2 hours later with a good handful of yummy raw almonds, organic apple juice (with the pectin...I HAD actually planned on eating the last apple since I put one of the 2 last ones in his lunch along with a pear, but he told me he didn't like pears and I didn't see him switch the pear for my apple...boooo!), been drinking LOTS of water, had another green smoothie mid morning (this time only had one banana left so that with blueberries and spinach & stevia), and now, I'm munching on a very simple salad of baby spinach and a few croutons and a light Italian dressing.  I know, I know, the croutons and salad dressing aren't "raw", but it's all we have right now and yes, I'm hungry.


I will have to post an edit later this evening.  I'm sure my dear hubby (DH) is doing just great since he did fine yesterday!  I probably shouldn't be eating much in the way of solid food since I plan on doing The Master Cleanse starting Sunday and doing it for 10 days.  I want to get a jump start and lose about 10-20 pounds before the CNA course starts.
