Down the hatch

My adoring (amazing, loving, hot) husband got me a Ninja Kitchen system for Christmas and it has become a beloved part of the household in just a couple of weeks. Every morning I am blending greens and fruits for my breakfast and love every minute if it. When we are honest with ourselves hardly anyone is getting all of the vegetables they need. Once I admitted this, we turned to juicing last year. Loving it at first it become bothersome to know we were losing nutrition by means of pulp and that greens hardly yielded any juice. Normal blenders do not obliterate the chunkiness enough for me, which is where the Ninja comes it. I can use 75% spinach and it turn out creamy and a texture I can actually enjoy.
As for other food, I refuse to eliminate anything completely but there is no reason the hubby and I should ne feasting on an entire loaf of garlic bread, or rating double starches several times a week. Refocusing on the fresh foods and flavors I already love is allowing me to explore even more meal possibilities while maintaining the ever important yummy factor.
I am severely reducing the processed, crack infused yumminess I ingest and I feel great. Not so much in a "OMG I have so much energy and am no longer bogged down" way, but I feel amazing for sticking with it and actually accomplishing something. It has been five days, but that is five days closer to being healthy than I have been in YEARS. I am taking my motivation by the horns and running with it. Every step an accomplishment. Every green smoothie a sip in the direction of health. Every time I put on my tennis shoes, I am accomplishing.
