Nutrition

If there is one thing I would change if I could go back and do it all over again, I would have eaten better! You see I have a mean sweet tooth, coupled with an awesome set of genes. Those to things put together, means I can sit down and eat an entire box of cookies without blinking an eye. So even though I don't gain weight, I do feel the effects of a horrible diet. It has shown itself in achy joints, tightness in my chest at times (scary). I just dont feel as good as someone my age should feel, 7 children or not.

I used to be invincible, up until I had my 5th child...then slowly I have felt worse and worse. SO, I decided enough is enough. If I am to continue having more little ones and be around to raise them, I need to change my ways. So for the next month I am going to safely clear my system and flood it with nutrients, while still nursing Ava. Here's what today's menu included:

Breakfast: all of this in the juicer.

Lunch: A spinach salad with red beans, sunflower seeds, cranberries and tomatoes. I love Spinach salads!!

My lunch buddy, who enjoys a good spinach salad as much as I do.

Dinner, well it will probably be smashed up garlic in some honey and Echinacea. About mid morning I started coming down with my monthly Mastitis infection ;-( Which makes me feel like I have the flu for 2-3 days then its gone. Ugghh...Its worth it though, its ALL worth it!
