My new cup of coffee

I'm kind of a coffee snob. I love coffee. I don't mean I *love* it, I mean I ** LOVE LOVE ** it!!! Well...I have a new love...

GREEN SMOOTHIES

They are my new coffee! I jumped on the green smoothie band wagon a few weeks ago. Since I've lost 31.2 lbs (yes that .2 matters!), I've been on a health kick. I no longer eat meat and I CAN'T eat dairy. I mostly eat raw fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Can you say energy?! I feel great. I no longer get that full feeling. My skin is clearing up. I have a good attitude. I haven't had a headache in a while. I feel so much better about myself knowing that I'm not eating crap out of a box anymore. I'm not saying that I haven't indulged in the occasional treat :o but I don't have the cravings that much anymore. If I had chips in the cabinet before, I would have an overwhelming urge to eat them. Seriously, it was all consuming! I couldn't concentrate or stay on task because I was thinking about those darn chips!!

We'll see what happens with weight loss. That would just be an added benefit at this point. Even if I don't lose a pound, this is still gonna be my new way of eating.

Look what I got!

I just got this...



and these...




The shoes are sooo stinkin' comfortable and cute too. I needed shoes to wear with jeans. Let's be realistic people...I'm not trying to to wear heels everyday!!

I got the perfume to replace my Escada that I just ran out of. Hubby got them for me yesterday. (early anniversary presents!)

I didn't post the kitchen pics because my little offspring came home from school and made themselves snacks...enough said.

Still loving the weather. I need to try to make it out to the apple orchard this season. We picked raspberries last year and I vacuum sealed them (duh, see my profile)and we just finished the last of them in a smoothie.

The kids have been having green smoothies everyday. Shocker I know! I'm glad though cuz they're full of greens that that they wouldn't normally eat. I put kale in mine and hubby's today and it was spicy. Not spicy bad, spicy good!

Over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house we go (tomorrow). Now I'm off to check out all of your lovely blogs and get some fall decorating inspiration.

Clean Smelling Kitchen

Loving the fall weather!! If I could wear jeans and turtlenecks all year I would be a happy camper!

Today I cleaned out all the kitchen cabinets inside and out with Murphy's Oil Soap. Love the stuff! Ummm I have alot of appliances...
*Bread Machine
*George Forman Grill
*Toaster
*Stand Mixer
*Vegetable Steamer
*Blender
*Vacuum Sealer

The funny thing is, I still want a Food Processor?!? I'm starting to transition to a Raw Food Diet. (That's a whole 'nother post!)

Pics of the bright shiny and clean smelling kitchen tomorrow.
