been awhile

yep, been busy again. i don't know how those momma's w/3 kids that coupon and blog and cloth diaper everyday do it!! i have one lil one and a big one and i forget to write. i know i have it but its easier just to say, 'eh, ill do it later!!'
so i am trying something new. trying to stick to it and be accountable for it. I've started a 'cleanse'. it'll last from today till monday. and i am doing it to see just how i feel. i am wayyy over weight. my foot is killing me from being so heavy. and i have absolutely NO energy!! seriously, i can sleep 16 hrs if left alone. guess that's part depression also. so turning over a new leaf and things will get better!! i want more energy, lose some weight, and just feel good. so we'll see.
I've been getting tomatoes out of my mini garden. a handful every other day or so. there sooo good. maybe next yr it'll produce more. but I'm happy w/the constant yummie lil presents i get from my lil plant. :)
so i decided to try round 2 in the garden. i planted some spinach, lettuce, and carrots. i have no idea what's up w/the pepper plants but i planted them all when i started everything else and now they finally come up!! i have two plants. i don't know what color they ll be but i don't care. I'm just happy we have two healthy plants!! cant wait to eat the lil guys!! lol
so i was reading about fruits and veggies,(of course) and learned that baby veggies have more nutrients than the full grown ones. and that broccoli, beets, and red bell peppers are the highest in antioxidants. the best of the best.
high in phenols. boosting artery function,to inhibiting the kind of cell damage that might lead to cancer or Alzheimer's. beets are full of blood pressure friendly potassium. and bell peppers and broccoli are a top source of antioxidant vitamin C. or so says Dr. oz on his real age news letter.. :)
so i wont have to wait too long for baby veggies..i wish i could find some beets to plant.. oh well good enuff. oh and i forgot to tell ya, i have two watermelons the size of footballs!!! and like 5 the size of baseballs and a few more babys commin along!!! i was sooo happy when i saw them. its like overnight!! ill have to take pix and post em next time. oh here comes the detox headache!! lol ..k ill just drink some water and it'll pass.. i can do this!!
so till next time, love and hugs. God bless!!
