March On!

Happy March 1st! Boy did February fly by fast! Being the shortest month probably has something to do with that! LOL! Even though there is still snow on the ground (dirty and blah looking now!) I feel that Spring is on it's way! I have been making lists of what I want to plant this year. Tomatoes (always!) Squash, Cucumbers (for David) lettuces, and probably some mini pumpkins (for decorations at Lisa's wedding in October) I may pick up some other things as I browse the garden center sections at stores who knows!
I am continuing my quest for more activities. Looking out I se the sidewalks are mostly clear now and I may try out my new shoes. I bought a pair of L.A. Gear Walk-n-Tone shoes. They are supposed to help tone your leg muscles more then regular shoes. Not sure about that part yet but they are more comfortable on my feet then any other shoe I have had the past few years so that in itself is a plus! I'll let you all know how they go!
This morning I tried Dr. Oz's "Green Drink" Well--it IS March! LOL! I didn't have everything in the recipe but most things. Here it is if any of you get brave enough. I thought it was "ok". It is probably an aquired taste LOL! But I will have it again and maybe tweak something here and there.

Make the breakfast drink that Dr. Oz swears by! This "green drink" is high in fiber, low-calorie and rich in vitamins.
Ingredients
2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. This makes approximately 28-30 ounces, or 3-4 servings.


Well, that is all for a Monday morning! I have to have David take my March picture in the next couple days so I can post it. I am losing about a pound a month I have figured. It is time to step it up again. I need to be walking more to ready for the Komen Race anyways!

HUGS! Have a greta Monday!

  1. wow, you're brave drinking that "juice!" i dont know how i'd like all the pulpy stuff. those are almost exactly the veggies and ingredients we like to use in our juicer occasionally (altho i must say i LOVE broccoli juice!!). many times we wont add in any fruit since it's higher glycemic without the fiber (once you juice it), but Dr Oz's take keeps in the fiber so that's awesome. sometimes we'll stir some of the pulp back in, but not all.

    i tell ya tho, if you keep drinkin that you will be a CRAZY HEALTH machine!! i cant believe the difference in nearly everything--my energy, skin, appetite, cravings--when i get max nutrients like that. GO VAL!!

  2. HA HA! I could not bring myself to drink it this morning though! I think I used too much lemon/lime juice since I did not make a full recipe. I just ate my veggies today instead of drinking them! But I will tweak it some for my tastes tomorrow!
