1 Week LEFT

I survived the ice storm!! :) I lived in West Virginia for many years. We had a lot of snow days and what you do on a snow day is nothing that I can do on this cleanse.  A typical snow day with my gal pals was:
1. Bloody Mary/Mimosa
2. Start cooking comfort food (the big breakfast, brownies, casseroles, chilis and soups with homemade bread, etc...We cooked it all and then we ate it all day.
3. Get the games out. The long games like monopoly and/or phase 10.
4. Switch to beer cause it's gonna be a long day of fun.
5. Eat more. 
Changing my snow day routine was tough. Thank goodness Texas 'snow days' don't last for days! My purification snow day was very relaxing. I cooked whatever I had leftover, which made me turn up the creativity. By the way, I love artichokes! YUM! I snacked on veggies and fruit. I watched movies and cleaned out my fridge...again. It's that time again to head to the store to restock for my last week of this cleanse. LAST WEEK! Changing my habits and routines, one day at a time! 
​

 So, I have decided I like these shakes and I don't want to stop drinking them. I hate eating first thing in the am, always have. I love having the shake to lean on. I also like it as my mid afternoon snack. I still haven't tried that many variations. I am happy with whatever frozen fruit I have on hand and the juice of the half of grapefruit I cut up for my mid am snack aka breakfast. I had a veggie shake Monday and it wasn't bad. It just wasn't as good as my berry shake. 
Veggie Shake:
2 scoops of SP goodness
1-2 carrots
2 celery stalks
Cucumber
handful of kale
Minced ginger root
I feel like this could cure some serious illness or a hangover. I had more chew to it too, which could be good if your really hungry and need to fix a craving.
Tonight is Butternut Squash soup. Easiest recipe in the world! I roast all the veggies in the oven (butternut squash, onion, celery, carrots, garlic cloves (secret ingredient). Then add to blender with veggie/chicken/bone stock. The roasted garlic gives it a sweet taste. I usually finish it off with half and half but that will have to wait 1 more week :). ONE MORE WEEK!
