As promised, our smoothies this morning were delicious! Definitely the best thing we've made so far. The recipe was actually from the book that comes with the Jack LaLanne bad-ass juicer that Jerry has. I have to say, since dating a chef, I have inherited some pretty cool kitchen appliances.. :)
Anyways, I've been feeling like crap for the past three days. Whining, complaining, threatening to quit and go get pizza when I'm by myself tomorrow, you know the drill. But I can't help it! I've had a headache, I've been nauseous - these veggies just don't seem to be doing it for me. In fact, for someone who normally loves veggies, I've been very turned off by them all of a sudden (I know, I know, it's only day 3, suck it up). The big surprise of the day, however, came this afternoon during our run. Now, lately I've been having a really tough time with this favorite pasttime of mine. It's either my asthma, my IT band, or my legs feel so heavy I can't seem to get them off the ground for very long. But today, I felt GREAT. I don't know, maybe my problem lately has been all the crap in my body and now that I'm finally getting it out, I'm going to see benefits in not just my energy levels and sleep, but also my exercise. I sure hope so at least.
I hear that tomorrow I'm supposed to start feeling great. After a very filling dinner of roasted veggies (mushrooms, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potato "fries" and crisped kale - yum!), I'm actually not starving going to bed, for once. Hmm, maybe this is a sign of good things to come.
