Day 25....Indulgence

sweet temptation

Last night, for reasons left unsaid, I was feeling a bit antsy, emotional and pinned. While I will freely admit that I gave in to the urge to binge when I knew full well I wasn't hungry; I also want to toot my horn and celebrate how I did it. My "binge" consisted of choosing to gulp down a glass of ice water and 2 handfuls of blueberries.

I'd really love to get to a point where I do not eat for emotional reasons. But I absolutely love that my choice (without any self scolding or see-sawing) was health above all.

Thank You thank You thank You Jesus!

old barrel vs. the new barrel

Recently, I had to purchase a replacement barrel for my juicer. We had been pushing hard root veggies through our juicer without cutting them up small enough to be nice to the machine. The consequence was the barrel is what gave way.

It still works but with each use the seam spreads just a little bit more. I didn't realize it when I ordered the replacement but it is even better than the original. It has grinders all the way around the barrel and I love it. We are finding that it is maximizing our juice volume even more. That is really awesome because it maximizes our dollar as well. Goodness our compost was already so dry. I didn't know there was any more liquid to be had.

This morning I made a volume of juice to last me most of the day while I do all the things that need my attention. Here is what I juiced. It made over 6 cups of juice and will hold me until dinner tonight.

1 english cucumber
2 oranges
2 carrots
1/2 cup of pineapple
3 celery
1 granny apple
1/2 red delicious apple
4 handfuls of spinach

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Celebrating God's goodness!
