This morning...I meant to put an entire 9 ounce bag of spinach into my green juice. It didn't all fit at first, so I threw in a handful with the intention of smooshing the apples & cucumber in, then adding the rest of the spinach. I totally forgot until I took a sip of the juice and realized it didn't really even taste like a green juice. At that point it was way too late to start the rest of the spinach/strain/deal with additional cleanup. Annoying, but I'm over it. I just kept thinking about my Omega Juicer. :)

So, today I'm sitting in the teacher's lounge and my co-workers were talking about teeth whitening...I'm just sitting there listening, not saying much. One of them is like, "Haha, Alison there's probably a juice for that, right?" and I (half-jokingly) say, "Yep, there's a juice for everything!" Then one of them was like, "MERH, there isn't a juice for everything." I just looked at her.

It never fails to astound me when people absolutely can't even acknowledge the connection between diet and health! Its so frustrating, especially when these same people (and their poor children) are drugged out, miserable, broke, and in pain because they're still subscribing to the SAD & Big Pharma mentalities!

At the same time, I'm so blissed out on green juice that I can't really get too mad about it. Good times.

I just stopped at my local grocery store because I don't have time/money for "real" groceries (aka organic food, haha) until tomorrow...so I dropped a total of $6 on a 3lb bag of gala apples, 1.5 pounds of (unwaxed) kirby cucumbers, and 3 pounds of kale. If you don't consider the carcinogenic, planet destroying chemicals they've been doused in, its not a bad deal! *grins* I made my last juice of the night, apple/cuke/blueberry with conventional (though unwaxed) apples and cucumbers, and organic blueberries I had stashed in the freezer. I was fairly surprised that I could tell a SERIOUS difference! Interesting.

Oh, and I'm ditching the tea with honey habit I've fallen into the past week. I'm drinking WAY too much of it, and as a result am consuming entirely too much freaking honey. Its sending me on a blood sugar roller coaster! Also, I'm anxiously welcoming back my AM water w/lemon & MSM.


T-minus 2 days until I get my Omeeeeeega! Wooo!
