I got measured again today, the 37th day of my 99-day challenge. I’d made hundreds of choices the last 37 days and the result was a loss of four damn inches on my bust, midriff and waist. Terribly disappointed, I immediately thought to slack on the workout and grab a chicken salad with my $12 bucks, go home and eat. Why was THAT my first thought? Good question…working on that. But that would have been a normal, Dedee choice. And of the hundreds of choices that I made today, I’m most proud of the choice that I made to stay on the elliptical for a full 15 mins and the stationary bike another 25 mins; then go to Aldi and purchase, (2) bags of granny smith and fuji apples, a bag of lemons, (2) stalks of celery and (4) cucumbers. Exactly $12 bucks. Sipping on my afternoon Mean Green juice….., just a few of the many daily choices. This was a good choice!
Until next week.
My Mean Green Recipe
(2) Granny Smith Apples
(2) Red Apples (Fuji, Red Delicious, Empire or Gala)
½ stalk of Celery
(1) Whole Cucumber
(1) Stalk of Kale (usually comes tied together in most markets or grocers)
(1) Stalk or (4 or 5) large handfuls of spinach (usually comes tied together if organic or you can buy it in large bags)
Slithers of Ginger (your choice)
(1) whole Lemon (no skin)
This yields about 32 oz. I drink this for Breakfast and Early Lunch.
It’s refreshing and you can taste any of the veggies slightly, the apples, lemon and ginger overpower the kale & spinach.
