Scrub a Dub Dub!

Hey All!

Thanks again for all the support and feedback on my last post. I can not express how grateful I am to have wonderful friends like all of you! HUGS!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter already know that I've started green juice fasting. I decided to give it a go again to clear my mind, heal my stomach pain, and help me get all around centered again. Last summer I did this and I lasted 4 days, this time I am not putting any pressure on myself, I am just going to go for as long as I last.

Before I made the leap into fasting I had a few great meals that I will be posting today. Here is a cucumber salad with red onion, avocado, tomato and raw kraut and a roasted sweet potato. Perfect outdoor summer meal! Ginger like to sleep a certain way when it's hot outside. It's pretty funny! She sleeps in our bed with us at night but during the day you'll catch her lounging like this. Look at that belly! No more avocados for you Ginger! ;)Before my fast I made this juice for lunch one day. It was zucchini, cucumbers, lemon, celery romaine and an orange. Similar to some of the concoctions I've been drinking on my fast.
Another pre-fast meal was another Buddha bowl. T and I shared this one. It was millet with all raw veggies: dandelion greens, red onion, scallions, red peppers, green peppers, avocado, raw kraut, broccoli, sorrel. T enjoyed it a lot, I guess I will be making this again!
One morning for breakfast I wasn't feeling like my normal green smoothie so I had some raw raisin bread. This tasted just like the cinnamon raisin bread I ate as a child. The only problem was that I am so use to a light smoothie or juice for breakfast that this was really heavy and I felt "off" all day. No more changing it up for me!
