Day 19

Good evening all.

Well, how was your day today? Mine was uneventful, I am very tired today...can't seem to snap out of it. Right now I wish I was still drinking Coffee! My kingdom for a Starbucks! For now a decaf tea will do. Have you ever made your own tea concoctions. I have a book with some recipes and I make a homemade Chai tea that is almost better than coffee.

I just can't believe it is Day 19 ( and by the way I have lost 9 pounds already! ) I can't believe it! Today I made my first salad for myself with a new lettuce I haven't tried before, and really liked it. I think that besides the banana...lettuce was my most despised food. The Lord does miracles though, and now, I am eating Lettuce! I know that this sounds crazy...but I am so excited to be able to eat vegatables!

I made a fresh juice with lots of green, and my 4 year old son asked for more. It make me feel good to be able to give my kids something nutricious for them to eat AND have them like it.

I also had some avocado chocolate pudding. This is a great treat for the kids and they don't even know what is in it. Even daughter ( who is as nutrition-challenged as myself! )liked it!

1 Avocado
2 heaping/very heaping Tablespoons of Cocoa powder
1 Tbl coconut oil
some vanilla powder or extract
Agave to taste

Optional: some cashews soaked for 20 minutes, or a green powder for extra nutrition.

Thank you for keeping me company on my journey!

love
