Mango Blues


I loooove mangoes. They are probably my favorite food. But they have to be just perfect- the kind of taste that makes you think you are in heaven- and this time of year they might look the same as they do in summer, but they are NOT the same! I mean yeah they still taste good, but I get myself so excited over a mango in the middle of winter, and they just don't live up to my expectations. I should remember that and stop spending $2 on them (each!). I'll have to go with frozen mango in my smoothies for now and wait for the delicious, perfectly in-season mangoes to eat plain in the summer.

Anyway, I am feeling wonderful today. I have so much energy and just feel so happy and buzzing! And my clothes keep getting looser! All this after less than a week of eating 100% raw!

Food today:

-green smoothie w/ 2 bananas, frozen mango/strawberries/blueberries, kale. 2 bananas + 1 apple.
-Lara Bar, 2 bananas, 2 clementines
-banana, handful of baby carrots
-big salad w/ romaine, baby greens, carrots, red pepper, red onions, tomato, sprouts, vinegar
-mango & banana fruit salad

That's 1500 calories and about 10% total fat. Nice!

No real workout today but I didn't stop moving all day at work, as usual. Tomorrow is my "Friday!" Looking forward to 2 days off. I'm thinking of eating only fruits/veggies on those days.
