A Green Kind of Day

Today was my first green fast in almost a year! Why do I do wonderful things for myself, then stop abruptly, because it is too much hassle, only to find out later, that the rewards FAR outweigh the 'hassle'?!?!

This morning I had a mighty green lemonade. The thing was HUGE! And one of the best I have made yet. I still think they are not yummy, but then, they are not yucky either, so I will stick with it a while longer. Maybe I can find a 'recipe' that is fabulous! Then, after church, I had a huge green smoothie and some herbal tea in there somewhere too. Then, tonight for dinner, I had a little of everything in my fridge. I had to really sweeten it up with some stevia to get it down, but you win some, you lose some! Overall, I just hope it gets this 'full' feeling I have OUTTA here. I think I might be backed up... I know, TMI. (Oh, and I really ought to take a picture of those juices when I make them. They are SO pretty before I stir them up! Very artsy.)

Still not in the best of moods, but everyday is a little better, and all the kind words are not hurting me either! Today's sermon was pretty poignant. He talked about being an exception. I think that is kind of why I am so frustrated. I have always wanted to be the ONE mom, wife, 30 something, in a group that was fit, healthy, kind and happy, with Christ's love oozing from my mouth. And somehow, I am just one of the same in the group. And then add all the humanness that is in me, and well, you get the garbage in my head. *sigh* God and I will work it out. He has a perfect (did you know the translation of that word in the Bible is better termed as complete?) plan for me... I just gotta quiet the heck down and LISTEN!

makes me wanna make a green smoothie a few times today :)

do you get a "rush" after drinking one? I did the other day.. it was cool!

I have decided that NO ONE is ever there for good..( on the "be the fit one in the group) .. even those who look fit struggle.... thats part of the adjustment that I have had to make is that I will "NEVER" be there.... its a journey with its ups and downs ... the only thing i can control is to start over when i start go give up.....:)

keep on truckin!

I would love to see photos of those smoothies.. if you have time :)
