Kale is my hero!

Ok so I have been doing the green smoothies and finally got some kale and wow!! Its now my hero, super food.  Not too strong of flavor for me.  I blended a half a bunch up in a smoothie, Im still a light weight, and drank it down. Yumm Yumm good. I dont know what was going on but I had to go to the bathroom every 15 mins it seemed like. Peeing a lot for how much I was going.  Well this excited me because as according to greensmoothiegirl kale will pull out 5 times its weight in toxins.  Im pretty toxic based on how lax my diet has become.  My scar is not itching and is less red still. Im hopeful it may start healing if I keep up with the smoothies.  I havent weighed myself so I dont think I have any weight lose but Im feeling better over all.  Looking forward to adding some chia to my smoothies soon. Right now Im adding seaseme and flax here and there. I dont care for the seeds in the smoothies as much but its good for my system so I deal with it here and there.

No info is my own

Sometimes I may post about info on diet food whatever. I claim no information of my own. I research a lot and information that other pioneers have discovered. I love information, now to apply it to my everyday life.  I feel like I should be a runner, rock climber, athlete yet Im not. Im your typical heavy over weight working mom trying to hang on in this busy world. Green smoothies I first heard about through the Boutenko family at http://www.rawfamily.com/ I was suggested to read a book about their life and watch a video a few years back. I love them, their story and their information. No Im not a raw foodist but I love the information just the same. I have been often looking into their websit and youtube videos for more information as well. Anyway GreenSmoothies is what I got out of this information first. Then Greensmoothiegirl came along on youtube and I have been glued to her videos too. Would like to buy her program but money is an issue with most people. Well Im hopeful for what the future brings and hope to gain health benefits from this adventure.

Little things Im starting

Im starting a new chapter in my life. I just gave birth to a baby boy that my husband and I had for another couple.  I really wanted to blog about that but time didnt allow.  A lot of people supported us but a lot of people didnt.  The ones that hurt the most were church family, being judgmental is a cancer in society that has to be cut out at the root, our hearts. Anyway that was a very difficult birth made more difficult but outside means.  My health went down the tube, so Im trying to grab back my health and apply my knowledge to my life.  Its hard sometime in this hectic society we live in. Being positive when we are surrounded by negativity is hard too. My boys are my happy place though. Just a little bit more about me.

Yesterday was good.

Its been 2 weeks since I have been drinking green smoothies, at least one a day 32oz.  I have had a growth on my stomach since 2009 its been getting bigger, basically my body is creating scar tissue because of all the extra antibodies we have floating in our systems.  Recently is been red and inflamed very itchy, sometime so inflamed the middle is white from lack of blood flow. Itchy meanings it active and growing.  Im just one week its been less itchy and the redness is calming and there is color back in the scar tissue.  Its not as hard either, beginning to get more supple.  Im hopeful that the more I increase the greens the better it will get.  I think Im detoxing because I have woke up with more bad headaches in the last 2 weeks than ever, but I have also been sleeping better and feeling better. Yesterday I went on a walk with my husband and 2 yr old, a few miles and carried my toddler on my shoulders for a good portion on the way back.  Thats never happened to me and I felt good. I kept telling my husband I felt good that day. For you who dont know me I am almost 300 lbs and have been very over weight most of my life.  Greens are not something I have ever been strong with in my diet. Im hoping for fantastic results. Practice what you preach, Im an info junky but its hard to apply that knowledge to my life.
