It Wasn't a Hangover... dang it.

I woke up the that &%$#*&%@* headache this morning. After a night of virtually no sleep, okay really the kind of sleep where you think you haven't slept at all, but probably drifted off a lot more than you realize. But I digress... after a night with little sleep, I woke to the same dreaded detox headache and thought to myself, I could have drank an entire bottle of wine by myself and felt better. But, I got up, made Boat Guy and I Blueberry Carob smoothies and to my relief the headache disappeared. I also drank 2 cups of green tea with lemon, so you be the judge of what helped the pain go away. I'll be honest, I would have drank a bottle of Calgon if it would have really taken me away!

Our menu today was new! After a small detour from the soups in the evening, let's face it I was tired of cold goopy stuff, I ventured back in with Pineapple and Avocado Gazpacho for dinner tonight. To my relief, and the joy of Boat Guy's taste buds, it was delicious. When making this however, I would recommend slightly un-ripened avocados, as they would just make the whole thing prettier to look at on the plate.

Boat Guy has now lost a total of 12 pounds in 12 days. He had a co-worker tell him that he looks like a completely different person than 12 days ago. But please don't misunderstand why we started this program to start with. This wasn't about weight loss for us, it was about rejuvenating our bodies, to be healthier. One of our final goals of this program is to have Boat Guy's good cholesterol in check. The weight loss has simply been an amazing side effect.

With that, Happy Cleaning!
