I have an admission to make, in the idea of being faithful to the thread will help me do the hard stuff. Last night my room mate returned after shopping at Costco with a large box of crap for me to carry in. right off the bat she started telling me how she had got something for me that I better appreciate. Box inside, right on top were three new dog toys. Letting the dogs work out which went to who, and tossing them from room to room for a while, she mentioned a few more times how I better appreciate what she got for me. Told it was at the bottom of the box, I started to pull things out. A 4 pack of garden gloves - no, a mega pack of sponge scrubbers - no, A two pack of hand lotion? Was this it, I asked? We can share it, I was told, but no not it. There it was a mega pack of 2xA's batteries. Oh, way cool, I exclaimed! (I was out and had to get some from her just the day before for my camera.) No under that I was told. There it was, a large Flan pie. I am a big fan of good flan. There must have been some telling tone that didn't ring true in my thank you. What you don't appreciate it, she asked? No its not that, it's just that I am on this diet, I replied. She questioned, you started that already, well what are you suppose to eat? Until my juicer shows up, I'm only suppose to have liquids and fresh fruit and vegetables,,, and Flan, I said with a grin.
I had one slice last night, cutting a larger one for my Room mate. Again just after noon I cut her a slice to have on her way out to work, and I eat a small slice. That left about half a pie, that I cut a small slice from, wrapped and put in the fridge. What was left i carried next door and gave to the neighbor, explaining the reason, for obvious reasons. It was accepted with gratitude, as both her and her BF like Flan.
I am just off the phone with the buddy who was to have the scale here yesterday and he says in just an hour or two he will drop it by, having forgotten yesterday. I will report my weight ASAP, and that will make it official. Aside from the flan, I have stayed to it, and think I will soon need to blend some of the frozen Strawberries from T,Joe's that were fresh but more than I could use before they went to mold. I will blend in a little banana, and some fresh pineapple. I have also had a handful of raisins, guess that isn't fresh produce?
Also, it crossed my mind, that corn was never mentioned as an ingredient in juicing? Would it have to be cooked to juice and therefore not be fresh, lacking so much goodness? Is it possible that uncooked corn is less digestible than cooked??? Wow frightening thought.
And it resembles a well-made Long Island Iced tea. lol win win.
