Food for Thought

(Homemade Nori's - This picture doesn't even begin to describe how good they were)

I've finally gotten over my 'green fear' and have actually come to enjoy my daily dose.
I recently started to make my meal times just a time for meals. No television (not like I have one anyway), no internet, no reading...just eating.
I find that sometimes I'll get a little impatient and eat quicker so I can get on with my day, but I should get over that soon. Eating is slowly starting to give me enough pleasure by itself.

These last few days have been excellent in terms of my diet.
I've been downing these monster green juices and they just get easier and easier to drink the more I incorporate them in my diet. I feel so much cleaner after I take in a large amount of greens. My stomach isn't getting as upset as it did last week, so maybe it's finally starting to appreciate what I'm doing for it!

For breakfast today, I actually didn't do my tea and Emergen-c...I went straight for the food.
My thinking was that since I woke up late today, I would eat first and then do my usual drinks.
I guess I just got so caught up in eating that I forgot to go back and take in my liquids. I'm probably still going to grab a tea and an Emergen-c, but probably closer to bedtime.

So what I ended up eating was a grapefruit and half of a mango. Let me tell you, I stocked up on some more grapefruits from Trader Joe's recently, and theirs are really the best I've had.
I'm not 100% sure if they're organic but I can definitely inquire about that the next time I
shop there. I bought the mango from there also. It was pretty hard when I first got it,
so I threw it in one of those Trader Joe's paper bags overnight and it was ready to be eaten the next day.

One last Trader Joe's comment...I would advise anyone who goes there to not be afraid to
ask for a discount. I went to grab some cantaloupes and since it was the end of the day, there were only two left. I'm not even completely sure if it was damaged, but one of cantaloupes had a light circular portion on it. All I did was ask the cashier if I could get a discount because it was a little discolored, and he gave it to me for free!
The power of asking is really amazing.

I'm finally feeling more settled in to my daily nutritional routine...and posting on here really helps keep me in check. Keeping myself in check is really my key to success on this journey.
