shrek in a jar. that's what i like to call it anyways.
this week has been an attempt to overhaul my soul. overhaul my mind, my emotions, my everything. ok, not really my everything, but i tend to take zero time for myself. i'm lucky if i actually shower 3 times a week. seriously. if this thing had smell-o-vision, you'd turn it off. i actually did take a shower last night though, so i smell like roses right now, but any other time .. i'd stank!
back to the point ..
i really take no time for myself. i feel gross. i feel tired. i feel lazy. i feel nasty. i feel extremely exhausted and run down. normally i'd just take a vacation. but i can't do that right now, so instead, i opted for actually taking care of myself.
enter in shrek in a jar. i've been doing great with hardly any caffeine, lots of water, lots of vitamins, and lots of fresh air, but my eating still isn't great. i never eat breakfast b/c i have 5 other mouths to feed at that time. by the time i give them their plates, they're giving them right back and it's time to move on to the next activity. so, i thought i'd try green smoothies for my breakfast. they are so super healthy and i'm really trying my best to get healthy skin and just to feel healthy.
here's what i put in it ... 2 handfuls of fresh, organic spinach. 2 bananas. 1c. milk, 1tsp vanilla, and crushed up airborne. i think it was the airborne that did it in. it had a bitter taste to it. the dog didn't even like it. seriously. i drank about half of it, well, because it's healthy. and i was hungry.

i went straight to the fridge and opened up a coke. not really what i'm going for, but i had to have something!! i think i'll keep trying until i find the right concoction. i couldn't taste the spinach at all, so it's the other stuff i gotta work on. it definitely needs to be sweeter. we shall see.

OK, so I am DEFINITELY not a good friend since I sent you a picture of the nice big ICEE BEFORE I read your blog on the Shrek Smoothies. Ugghhh, so sorry. To make it up to you, I will try your Shrek concoction once you perfect it's greatness!!! (I seriously need to get healthy too!)
