GREAT DAY JUICING

Another successful day juicing.  Made up a smaller batch today.  Now that I have stopped trying to add green stuff other than cucumbers, peppers etc..  (cabbage, herbs, spinach,lettuce, sprouts etc... just don't juice well and make it taste dirty) I rather enjoy the flavours.  I almost always make six carrots, ten to twelve celery stalks, two peppers, two cucumbers, lemon and occasionally green beans.  Sometimes I add a small can of low sodium v8.  Not bad.  Today I was down another 2 pounds.  Getting close to forty pounds lost!!  I really have to stop wearing my jean shorts, they darn near fell off in the walmart parking lot when I had my arms full and couldn't yank them up.  But with the girls coming tomorrow I am pretty sure some weight will be going back on and they will fit again!!

We had to go to costco and safeway today.  The girls have suggested that on Saturday we have a lay around and shopping for groceries day.  So I have planned a fabulous brunch that we can all contribute to.  One of the things the costco here sells is a container of lump crab...1lb.  So I shall get Aryn to make a crab cake...so we had to get all the ingredients for that.  Then we needed eggs.  Since April has just learned how to poach eggs, we shall get her to poach the eggs.  I am going to make a low fat low calorie Hollandaise sauce.  So we shall have eggs benny....our style!  Oh..and I also bought some champagne and orange juice for mimosas.  Did I tell you all this before?  It feels like I am repeating myself!!  LOL!!

After Costco we headed out to the beach at the end of the airport runway.  We love it there.  We took a coffee and books and spent a couple hours watching the sunset, waves and planes taking off.  I finished my book, a really good one.  One worry.  I noticed Bill kind of breathing in and out purposefully, and kind of massaging his chest.  I asked him what was wrong and he said he had gas and his chest hurt.  Yeah right.  Jeez!  I wanted to take him in to a Dr. but there was no way he was going to do that.  Upon questioning him I discovered he had not eaten yet today and it was now 5:30.  Being diabetic that can be a problem.  So I got him a glass of orange juice which he downed.  We then went to Safeway and I made him come in with me.  He bought tums and says he feels better.  We will see.

SORRY FOR THE BORING PICS TONITE




 LOOKING TOWARD THE AIRPORT
 TURNED AROUND AND LOOKING DIRECTLY THE OTHER WAY
Now we are home and I have cleaned out the car, salted the salmon for lomi lomi, and I am going to go empty out the girls bathroom.  Move over Bill, you are going to have to share with me now!!!   We are so excited for the girls tomorrow!!  TTYL!!
