Peace.

Went to the store.

I bought pineapple, papayas, bananas, persimmons, oranges, a pomegranate, and in the fridge are apples, dates, a honeydew melon, spinach, romaine lettuce, carrots, beets, and celery.

Breakfast - Pineapple
Lunch - Celery, Carrot, Beet and Apple juice
Bananas
Dinner - Salad with Romaine and Green Leaf Lettuce, chopped Dates, Cilantro, and a squeeze of Lemon

What I juice

Celery, Beets, Beet Greens, Carrots, and an Apple





I make this juice or something similar almost every day during the winter. It's rich in vitamins and minerals, and adds variety when not so many fruits are in season.

Need to focus on healing.

Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving. There are so many blessings to be grateful for. I don't even need a holiday to be reminded of that, but it's always nice to have a day to dedicate to being thankful.

Day ??: It's a Date Part II

So I haven't been great at keeping up with my blog. But I'm doing very well and enjoying fall's beauty and cooler days.

Each season brings its abundance. Right now it's apples, tangeringes, grapefruits, and dates. I got a box of dates from the Bautista Family Date Ranch. All their dates are organic and raw. I ordered the Honey dates and the Khadrawy dates, 2 of their many varieties.


They are so good. Heavenly. I really like to have them around along with bananas in the colder months.


Yesterday:
Breakfast - Honeydew Melon
Lunch - Green Juice (Celery, Kale, Cucumber, Cilantro Apple)
2 peeled Gala apples

Date plate
Iceberg Lettuce

Day 4, 5 and 6

The past few days have been pretty much the same.

Breakfast - Green juice (kale, celery, and apple)
Peeled apples
Lunch - Mangoes and papayas
Dinner - Black grapes and bananas
Sometimes a salad or wrap with red pepper and celery.





I had a good weekend. Even though I was social and went to a lot of parties and dinners, I ate my fruit beforehand and wasn't tempted.

I watched the film Supersize Me tonight. It's a documentary, in which the subject eats only McDonald's food for 30 days. In the beginning he is very healthy, but over the course of one month he gains 20 pounds, his health severely declines, cholesterol and blood pressure skyrocket, and he feels depressed and lethargic all of the time.

Eating fruit makes me feel like the opposite of Supersize Me. Everything gets better.

Day 3: Running Free.

Breakfast - 4 peeled Gala apples
celery juice
Lunch - 2 chopped bananas, dates, and 2 apples


Dinner - 3 Bananas
10 Black Mission figs
red pepper

Exercise - 3 x 1 mile interval run, 1 mile walking. Best run I have had in a while.

I am inspired by life, inspired by everything. This morning I loved watching this video by The Fruitarian, aka Michael Arnstein, an marathon runner whose diet is all fruit! The first 5 minutes are just a rant, so skip them if you like, but after that his message really resonates. Live true to you, and listen.

Day 2: Attracting Abundance

Breakfast - Juice of 4 Valencia oranges
2 peeled Jonagold apples
Lunch - 4 bananas
a few pieces of Jackfruit
Dinner - Celery juice
2 peeled Jonagold apples
1 bunch of black grapes

Exercise - 1 hour of yoga

Amazing how much abundance and good things we can attract when our minds are tuned in. I am so grateful. Blessings be to all. Goodnight. ♥
