Down 20 Pounds and Eating Ice Cream!

I really feel that whole foods and micro-nutrient diet style is a healthy diet style.  I am very skeptical of macro-nutrient diets. 5 servings of fruit and vegetables is not enough.  A terrific way to get enough leafy greens into my body is to have a green smoothie for breakfast.  My husband agrees.  He decided to see if he could see a difference drinking a green smoothie rather than a protein shake.  He says he does not feel a lack of protein, and he has noticed that his body feels better with the green smoothie.

I have discovered young coconuts!  They are delicious.  My favorite thing to make with them is Coconut-Pineapple Ice Cream.  It is my own recipe...1/3 of the coconut water, 1/3 of the coconut meat, 1/2 lime juiced, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Blend in a high power blender like a Vita-mix to smooth coconut meat.  Then add approximately 3 cups frozen pineapple.  Blend until smooth.  Don't over blend or you will end up with a smoothie and not ice cream.  Just blend out chunks.

Delicious!

So I am down 20 pounds and somehow I still feel soft all over.  I have 20 more pounds to loose.  How did I get so big?  I was thinking about posting my before and current picture, but I am too embarrassed.  Maybe in another 20  pounds I will be more confident.  But I did take pictures yesterday, so I have a record.
