july 15 endcap

i used to have nightcaps, now i have endcaps. you know, you grow.

so you might think that eating a diet of nothing but fresh fruit and veg would leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied and, i dunno, sumthin. wanting something. but it's not doing that. not yet, at least. i feel wonderful. it's been 3 full days since i quit junk and got back on the wagon, and today i couldn't even finish all my goodies! here's what i ate today:

awesome smoothie - kale, banana, celery, aloe vera. totally digging the aloe right now. a big 2" slimy chunk of it, cut from the leaf. yum! so good for your skin and hair and eyes and digestion and metabolism and blood sugar. great source of MSM, anti-inflammatory, just good stuff. makes me happy.

one of those funky flat peaches. never had one before. being from north carolina, i am a peach SNOB and won't really eat those nasty things from georgia or california - peaches should be warm from the farmer's market and you should have to battle the bees and wasps out of the way and drape a towel over your arm because it's going to explode with warm peach juice the minute you touch your lips to its fuzzy fur. real peaches are sexy. grocery store peaches are like cheap porn, even the ones from whole foods. NC peaches are so fragile they can't be shipped, so only the locals know about them. my only regret about not living there anymore. sigh. but i digress.

the funky flat peach wasn't bad! it wasn't orgasmic or embarrassing, as a real peach should be, but it was kind of fun.

a few grapes.

a cucumber.

a lot of water with a pinch of himalayan crystal salt. i've been avoiding salt for awhile and last night stumbled on a David Wolfe video where he's talking about salt. and he's so damn charismatic and sexy-man, i'll still do just about anything he suggests, so i put salt in my water. and wouldn't ya know. made a difference. made my water more drinkable. made me drink more of it. i sweat A LOT during the course of a normal day, and that little pinch really helped.

so much so that i barely touched my limonada! i'm stunned. i've still got most of a jar of it left. who knew?

and then i had an avocado when i got home.

and that's it! that's all i ate today. not hungry. not tired. not grouchy (aside from the things that grouched me off, but that's irrelevant). quelle miracle! we'll see how tomorrow goes!

oh yeah - my yoga today felt awesome. it hasn't felt good in a long time - i've felt really stuck. but today felt warm and stretchy and hurt so good. it was awesome.
