smoothie operator

Who is this woman who turns down a gin & tonic, instead offering a grannie smith-roasted yellow pepper-pineapple spear-mango-banana & coconut milk smoothie?  

John's always been the fruits & veggies advocate;  I was always the pulled pork & generously marbled beef fan.  Now, I introduce him to luscious fruit/veg combos.  He is over the moon.

Me?  Having a fashion crisis.  Am looking down at my now baggy favorite heather grey sweater & my black knit pants.  The sweater I might be able to get away with to the end of the winter - maybe - but the pants are another matter, threatening to end at my ankles at any moment.  (Learning the value to belts & ties, although my ties of my sweat pants are also nearing their last bit of effectiveness.) 

We had faux spare ribs for supper, with noodles & generous helpings of my homemade Veg Pot.  Sounds super healthy, except my optimum meal would contain NO processed foods, not even healthy ones.  Currently having at least one day of all whole foods & nothing but whole foods.  

People wonder if eating vegetarian is a great sacrifice.  My body was NOT pleased when I went a bit off track, my late summer/early fall "mac & cheese and Scoogi's eggplant parm" period.  Now, it's happy.   Good lesson.  Eat wisely & feel energized;  eat thoughtlessly & feel sluggish.  

Good bye stuff that doesn't lift me up.  Hello, smoothie operator!
