Already down a collective 8.1 pounds and it's only day 3!!

Wow what a day!


We started the day on a high note when we got on the scale this morning on day 3 of 21 and saw that I lost 3.6 and John lost 4.5 pounds.

So we were off to keep a good thing going with breakfast of eggs, steamed kale and whole grain toast.  John also got to have some mixed berries. I was so tempted to snag a blueberry as I was making it for him, but I stuck to plan and remembered that I was going to be having some raspberries with my yogurt and cinnamon for my snack later in the day so his blueberries were safe!   

Lunch was a lime and lentil salad that was actually pretty good and the microgreen salad that I and I think John too could totally live without.  Its a good salad and we both ate every bite.  But I have a love hate relationship with salad and salad greens and I love my salads, when I am in the mood for them and so for me the best part  are the cucumbers, tomatoes and jicama. John not so much, the jicama is his least favorite part.  And we both love the roasted pumpkin seeds.  But the best part of lunch was the face time from my beloved who called so we could have our lunch together.  That was fun and I am not sure why we have never done that before!!  And I guess he really liked it too because he followed that up a few hours later with another face time visit and chat as we drank up our power green supplement.  We are both grinning and bearing it, it's really not that bad.  We have been taking them for two years mixing the boost into our shako.  This is a bit different as there is no shako to combine it with, but its not bad.  Seriously the power greens is a combination of six powerful greens, kale, spinach, cucumbers, celery, spirulina and chlorella and it helps to support the body's acid/alkaline balance and we are all for that so we can take the power green cocktail for 21 no problem.  And if we face time when we do, well all the better!!


Dinner tonight was sushi, miso soup and Japanese cucumber salad. It was the first time we made suchi and John did the rolling, I say he dis an excellent job and sushi was good too!

There is so much to share but its getting late and rest and a good night sleep is all part of our healthier routine.


So I will fill you in on some of the deets as well as some of our insights, takeaways and what we have learned the past few days soon.

Christmas Eve

  Our Frist Christmas together in Texas - 1982 It's Christmas Eve morning and I am excited for whatever the day brings especially the coming of the birth of Jesus and the blessings and grace that await each new day.  This morning I’m also reflective with emotions and thoughts about my dad who died 23 years ago on Christmas Morning and my mom who died 27 years ago in November. In my heart I know that they are together in heaven celebrating with Jesus and all those I love who have gone home to glory and that brings peace and comfort to my heart. My heart is also filled with so much gratitude because my parents left us with so many wonderful traditions and family memories, family was everything to them. They always instilled in us a spirit of gratitude and unconditional love, and I am so grateful that never was there ever a time that I talked to my mom or dad that I did not tell them how much I loved them. I was by mom’s side when she drew her last breath and I saw the lov...

Spine Surgery, Faith and Gratitude - A Long Road to Recovery

It's been awhile since I've shared on my blog, and this post was not at all what I had planned to share about, and certainly not as much, its long, yet here it is...... and so I'm hoping that my story may resonate and bring some hope to others who may be gong through something similar.  If it strikes a chord let me know, I'll do my best to share the journey.....because for me anyway, it's just beginning.  In August, I underwent emergency spinal surgery to remove a fractured disc between L3 and L4. The disc had shifted and was pressing directly on my spinal cord, leaving me unable to sit, stand, or walk, and in excruciating pain from my back down the right side of my body—all the way to my foot. It was terrifying, and the pain was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I had surgery on a Sunday morning, and that moment marked the beginning of a long road to healing. Anyone who’s had spine surgery knows recovery isn’t quick or easy. But I’ve been so incredibly blessed a...
