Changing My Life

     Hello again. I know it's been a while. Life got really busy. It always seems to get away from me. I have been thinking that I do need more blog starter ideas that will get me into the habit of writing. I noticed that I make a lot more excuses of why I can't do things then I should. I tell myself I don't have enough time yet I know it will only take a couple minutes to type something up and really half the time I was probably just sitting around anyway.
     Take right now for instance. I was just sitting here in my family/dinning room watching Isaac play well I drank my cappuccino perfect time to blog! I guess it also helps that I have something to blog about. But usually I would have just said I'll do it later and then later I would find something else that was more important...kinda like what I do with my house cleaning...I'll do the dishes later...I'll sweep the floors later...Now I'm to tired I'll do it tomorrow. I don't know if I just don't have the energy or if I'm just that lazy....more likely a little bit of both. 
     Which in turn brings me to why I'm writing today. I am going to go on a 10 day green juice fast to clear my mind and body of all the crap I've put into it and done to it. Of course this is just an test and we'll see how it goes...I might only make it to day 2 who knows! you're about to find out though. my husband Nathaniel has agreed to do it with me so I'm excited. I wanted him to do it because he has eczema which is believed to be attached to the things you eat. I want to know if clearing out his body will actually help him. In theory it should work but like most people he wants results right away so it will be interesting to see if you can wait the 10 days to clean his body before he gives up and says this doesn't work cause I'm still itchy and now I'm hungry too. 
     So I was looking up green juice recipes online and thinking I would have to go out and buy a juicer...which is one of the reasons I have been putting this off because I hate spending money...I'm really cheep but that's another post all together...perhaps my next post! Anywho, so I didn't want to have to buy a juicer but caved and well I was reading a post someone mentioned that they used their Vitamix blender instead of a juicer and I was all*bing* I have one of those!....like really, am I that blind?...not only do I have one it came with a binder of whole food recipes including a section on green juices! I've even read the section but here comes my lazy low energy self doubting self that promptly wiped that knowledge right out of my head under the ejection notice of: when will I ever have all this stuff in my fridge. To much work...delete!
     So when my husband comes home from work tonight we are going to clear out the kitchen of all temptation and stock the fridge with veggies...I'm going to be smart about this though. I am going to write up a list of drinks for the day for the ten days and buy what i need per drink for 3 day periods...That way if I freak out and give in I don't have a bunch of spinich and what not rotting in my fridge because the amount it takes to juice is a lot, I've never be able to eat the veggies before they go bad, because like most westerners, I don't eat enough veggies and fruit, so my usual side of veggies wouldn't cut it. The funny thing is I actually like veggies. I've never been a veggy hater. Lazy Confession Alert: They just take more work to make then opening a can of soup, a box of fish sticks or what have you. Dear lord I hate myself sometimes. when I write it down and am actually face to face with it, I hate myself sometimes.
     So here's my plan: Drink Green Juices and water for 10 days. Then I am going to start making meals that are more focused on Veggies and fruit and less on meat and pasta (which will be the death of me). I made a really good meal loaf last night, it was a zucchini and beef loaf. I was thinking I would try this again but instead of beef I was thinking I would try to make it with mashed white beans. It might be my first meatless dinner once I'm done the fast because I gotta tell you..That was the best meal loaf I've ever had! I'll comment the recipe later. That will give me a reason to get back blogging. I know I can't go meatless all together because I just plan ol' love meat but cutting back one meal a week until I am just eating meat dishes on the weekend is the goal.
