Hello everyone,
Today has been a crazy day. First, off both Michelle and I did not get any sleep. It was a weird night because both of could not get comfortable due to our backs hurting. Now we are not sure why all of a sudden both our backs hurt and we still had small headaches throughout the day. Michelle ended up coming to wake me up around 3:30am to ask if I had any Advil or anything for pain. We both have not taken any pain medication since our marathon in January. And we really do not like taking medication unless we have no other choice. Therefore, we decided at 3:30am in the morning that we needed sleep so we have to take some Advil. Luckily I had some at my place! We took our pain medication and went back to sleep, to only to wake back up at 6am to get our day started.
The Advil did its job and we both managed to get a few hours of sleep in us before our day started. Our Thursdays are always a crazy day now since we started doing two farmers markets back-to-back. Not sure what we were thinking when we decided to do this. Must have been when we were drinking wine. LOL. Anyways, we had a delicious coconut spirulina base smoothie this morning made out of fresh coconut water and meat. It really hit the spot since it was already a humid and hot day outside and it was only going to get worse.
The coconut smoothie really helped us feel a little bit better and gave us the energy we needed to get through the rest of the morning. Before I left for the first market we had some fresh kiwi as a quick snack.
Michelle made our lunch – it was avocado base Key Lime Pudding! This certainly has become one of our favorites!!! YUM! She also brought some fresh figs to go along with our pudding. We get our figs from a very close friend and customer of ours who has her own fig tree! She brought a whole bunch to us this morning! Thanks Joi, we love them!!! If you have never had a fresh fig you should!!! They are a great healthy snack full of fiber so keeps you full!
Here is our lunch on the go:
After both of our markets we are usually exhausted from standing all day in the heat. To make us feel better we tend to have a large green juice to hydrate us and give us energy to clean the place. Tonight’s juice will be a mixed of vegetables and apples!
As many of you know this is our 4th day of our liquid base detox cleanse. Since we were so busy today we never really got a chance to really sit down and focus on how we are feeling today. But beside the no sleep and small headache we are doing good. Once the Advil stopped working both our backs slowly started to ache again! UGH! Anyways we hope to do some light yoga and stretching to see if that helps our backs. Maybe a little Wii!!
Till next time, cheers from our glass to yours!
