So there's that.
The juicing yesterday was great.
So good.
I did leave the rind on my citrus which I won't do again. Too bitter.
For lunch I had a kale, celery, apple, pear and carrot. Really good, and one I will repeat for sure.
For dinner I made a huge pot of vegetable soup (I'm not sure if that's reboot or not). Celery, carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage, a huge can of crushed tomatoes and some vegetable broth. Again, so good and I will eat it for a few days. After my soup I had a big fruit smoothie with strawberry, mango, pineapple, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and spinach. I was so full for the rest of the night, I felt like I had just finished Thanksgiving dinner.
Interesting fact: I was not hungry at all through the night, and I am known for my midnight kitchen tours. Sandwiches, bowls of cereal, half a cake, a dozen cookies, you know, something to hold me over until 5-6:00 AM when I wake up.
Let me tell you another benefit of this juicing business, Wyatt is REALLY into it.
Who would have thought he would be interested in something healthy, I thought he was a straight up frozen burrito kind of guy. I guess I shouldn't say that, he has been really interested in cooking the last few weeks and has made some pretty amazing meals.
Something that came to me yesterday after I posted, was that I just got over having strep throat, so this was an easy time for me to transition my eating habits. I had already lost five pounds the week I was sick, so to just keep riding that train was a lot easier than buying the whole railroad.
I just want to make sure that I don't come across sounding like this is all a walk in the park. I liken it to quitting smoking after being pregnant, you quit because you just don't pick up a cigarette again. I had already quit eating all the crappy carbs and sugar (and everything else) while I was sick and then I just didn't start again.
Another important thing to point out, is that I spent a good amount of time in the bathroom yesterday. so If you're a flagger or professional ice skater, you may want to wait until you have a day or two off to start this. All that juice really goes through a person.
Now, since this is the Fat Bottom Farm Blog I'll tell you a farm story.
We have a huge problem with coyotes around here. Huge. So every morning I take a head count to make sure that everyone is safe and accounted for. I have already lost two lambs and last spring I lost a peacock and quite a few geese. Three mornings ago I kept coming up a sheep short. Every time I would see them in the pasture I would count again and still one short. I did a quick walk around and still, one short.
The next morning, same thing, and all through the day, one short.
I leave a light on in the barn along with a radio to try and help detur the coyotes and yesterday I realized the radio had gone off so I walked up to see if it had come unplugged or just worn itself out. Once I was up there, I decided I would take a walk to the pasture back behind the barn to see if that little sheep had found a hole in the fence and slipped through where he wasn't supposed to be, but as I walked down the length of the barn I heard the little bugger calling out from one of the side rooms. Behind a closed door.
Somehow, he pushed through a loose board to get into the barn and then walked into the side room and when he turned around to come out he closed the door on himself. Let me tell you, that was one happy sheep when I opened that door! He took off to the rest of the herd with quite a story to tell, and he started telling it the minute his feet hit the grass!
I'm sure glad that story had a happy ending :)
Peas.
