Smoothie art

Well, this is day 7, the last day of my chip and beer free challenge.  I am happy to report that I succeeded in not consuming any chips or beer this last week.

 In fact I'm feeling so good, that I don't even have a desire to eat chips or drink beer .  I don't feel  like I lost much of my "beer belly", but I'm on the right path.  I will post the after picture tomorrow.

 This coaster is hand woven by my boyfriends mom.  Want one? The smoothie is in a wine bottle that has been made into a glass.

This is my coffee table that I painted this winter.

7 day challenge

I'm taking my own 7 day- beer and chip free challenge .  There are many websites that offer programs to raw food diets and support with a fee of some sort, but I have decided that I can do it on  my own. 
  I will be posting what I eat, or should I say what I don't eat or drink, for accountability. ( Even though there aren't many readers here).
 
  Today is officially day 1, even though yesterday I started off with a green smoothie.

I didn't follow a recipe, I just dumped in some frozen  dark cherries, frozen crushed pineapple, spinach, kale, and 1/2 of a cucumber, a little bit of razzleberry juice, and a tsp of spirulina powder.

I saved this giant straw from the milkshake shop, ( cause I'm all about RRR, you know) and it works perfect for thick smoothies.

 So far so good, I woke up at 6:30 am this morning....that NEVER happens.  I'm feeling better already.

My goal is to gently detox, and to loose a few inches of beer and chip flab.  With a happier liver not having to work so hard, I think I'll be a happier person, and will be better able to do my job in helping people feel better.

Oh, and since I don't have a scale and don't know my starting weight, I took a couple pictures.  Yuck.
