Good news and good food.....

I weighed 225.5 on Wednesday morning. This morning I am down 3.5 pounds to 222. I've gotta believe that this is about letting go in deep, energetic ways and changing my story. Yay!

I just got back from a bike ride with my husband in the beautiful South Florida summer morning and we are sharing a fabulous smoothie with:

• 2 cups baby coconut water and meat
• 1 banana
• 1+ cup frozen strawberries
• 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple
• 1-2 T agave syrup
• 2Tflax seed
• 2T hemp seed
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup water for consistency

Blend all in VitaMix. (I reserve a little of this and add some water, 1 T maca and 1 T raw cocoa powder, blend and drink. Got my superfoods in that way and still enjoy the pure goodness of the fruits in the smoothie.) I'll make another one later for lunch with the rest of the coconut water and meat. How lucky can a girl get!

Living here in Miami, we hit the motherlode last week when our neighbor was trimming his trees and had dozens of green coconuts he wanted to get rid of! We've got so many we're thinking we can't use them fast enough so will open a bunch and freeze the water and meat in ziplocs.

After I write this I'm making my famous guacamole and pico de gallo.

Guac:

• 1 medium Florida avocado
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• juice of one lemon
• 1T cumin
• 1t ground coriander
• sea salt to taste

Mash avo with a fork, mash in the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy with flax crackers or raw veggies, or on top of taco 'meat' or marinated veggies, etc. Or take it with to when you go out to dinner and put it on top of your restaurant salad for a great dinner.

Pico de Gallo:

• 3-4 medium tomatoes or 2 cups grape tomatoes,
• 1/2 medium white onion
• good handful of fresh cilantro
• juice of one lime
• jalapeno pepper to taste
• sea salt, optional

Chop onion in food processor, add tomatoes, cilantro and the other ingredients and pulse til desired consistency. Sometimes I eat this like gazpacho, it's so amazingly good!

I make these so often I could do it in my sleep. lol

Today my mantra is: EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT'S RAW.

• I love being alive
• I see that everything is working out for the highest good of everyone
• I am patient with life's process
• I am letting go of fear and control in favor of trust and peace
• I have a brand new story about food, weight and bodylove
• Today is a brand new day and I'm grateful for new opportunities to love
• I am live in my body and love the buzz I feel
• I am eager, conscious and open
• My life becomes whatever I want it to become
• I am blessed beyond all imagining
• I have all I need and all I want

enJOY this new day!
