Day 4 of 108 ~ Yesterday I ate;

Soak water from my died mangos

*Raw Mango-Tomato Soup Recipe* (serves 4 people) You can also use it a a salad dressing!
If I can remember this correctly, here it is; several medium-large tomatoes, a few scallions whole (top & bottom, without roots), lots of soaked dried mango, a little soaked dried papaya, lime juice, lemon juice, 1/2 an avocado, 1/2 a jalapeno pepper (use less if you don't like hot pepper), some fresh cilantro, a whole red bell pepper & 1/2 of a zucchini. Put everything in the blender & blend until smooth. After that, you can add lots of chopped watercress on top & a few red grape tomatoes for color.

I posted calories today so that you see how it all adds up. 

In addition to what I posted, I have been drinking at least 2 liters a day of water & I usually exercise for at least 1 hour in the morning. (Before it was in the evening, but I don't think it works as well. Exercising first thing after you wake up is key.) I have been feeling really good eating low fat & making sure I get enough exercise, water & sleep, (maybe sun too if I can). This is a big change for me. I used to be a nite owl. I was also very inconsistent with sleep & exercise. Water intake was an after thought if I thought about it at all. Now that I have made all of these a priority, my energy has been very consistent & I usually feel pretty peppy on a daily bases. :)

Today I ate;

Ahhhh.... today was a pleasure. This morning I had a whole pineapple to myself. It didn't bother my tongue the way pineapple does if you eat too much, or if it's unripe. It was perfectly sweet & very sweet to me. :) I also had a few banana salads. They were all the same. The ingredients were; chopped Candy Crisp & Granny Smith apples, chopped Medjool dates & shredded Green Leaf lettuce, & blended banana (with a few dates added) sauce, to top it off. It was yummy!

..And one more thing, 

Today I decided to eat some lettuce plain, almost half a head.
Earlier in the day I made a salad with banana dressing. But ended up with extra greens that were already washed. I took a few bites & it was lovely! I've always needed dressing on my greens. I never thought I would like them plain. But now I know, ..I do!
