What's In YOUR Smoothie?

1 head of red lettuce
half a cucumber
1 ripe banana
1 pear
2 tbs ground flax seed
water to blend

MMmmm. not too sweet.

I got my hair cut today. It's been about a year, I think. I haven't cut it this year, I'm pretty sure.

She didn't say anything and I didn't mention the no poo...

She did notice I lost weight and asked me how. I told her, "no meat, no cheese, no milk, no eggs, no grain. That means no rice, corn, wheat..." She said, "no tortillas?" "No tortillas. Only fruit, vegetables and seeds.

Wow. She was impressed. She asked if I was going to keep it up. I told her, yeah, I don't have any cravings anymore, I don't want to eat meat or milk or bread anymore. She told me she has been trying to quit eating rice and is having a really hard time. I told her, "well, you won't want to hear this, but it's hard to quit eating rice because you are addicted. It's like a drug". She didn't like hearing that. I knew she wouldn't. But maybe it will make her think.

The subject was changed, gracefully. She's a hair dresser, after all...

I told her I'm moving away. She's been cutting my hair for years. I'm really gonna miss her.

  1. The changes you've made are amazing! You look fantastic, girl! After reading a few more entries, I feel like a walking chemical factory. I wonder if I'd have the guts to try the no 'poo thing... I just might. *gulp*
    I know I don't have the willpower to change my diet drastically just yet, but you've given me (cliche coming) LOTS of food for thought with this blog. Heh. I guess a start would be shopping at Trader Joes more often! But today...alas I am having RICE for lunch. I. Just. Can't. STOP. HAHA!
    Thank you for sharing these healthy tips!
