Lost: 1 lb
Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 3 lb
Well it's not just myself noticing the weight loss but other people are now starting to comment. They particularly notice that my face is looking slimmer and I'm looking a bit younger for it!
Nothing exciting happened today...no genets or any other unusual creatures crossing my path, just the usual dogs that follow me around when I take my 2 dogs out for their morning walk.
Where I am in the campo I'm surrounded by other houses, and all of these houses have dogs. Some of the Spanish owners just let their dogs run free, so during my time here I have gotten to know the other dogs and I feel they see me as a surrogate mum for when their owners aren't there.
Very often when I'm out with my 2 dogs, I feel like the Pied Piper, going past my neighbours' houses, collecting their dogs on the way so we can all enjoy the morning walk together. Then when I do eventually get back to my front gate, they know that it's time to disappear and they have to return to their various houses.
For my smoothie today I threw in a couple of strawberries with my banana and chard, which gave it a hint of sweet strawberry flavour and very nice too!
I didn't go to the gym today. My body was tired and it needed a break. Instead I went off to a friend's house in the morning to help her out with various things.
Back home for lunch I had flax crackers with tomatoes and I also had some fresh lychees out of their shell. I got the taste for lychees when I lived at my previous house and there was a lychee tree...I would gorge myself on those lucious lychees!
Lychees on the tree
For dinner I just threw another green smoothie together as I didn't feel like having a salad. This time I was a bit more adventuresome with my smoothie and had pak choi leaves, rocket, mango, lychee and 2 strawberries...what an interesting mixture!
Now I do have to admit that it wasn't the best smoothie in the world and maybe I should've left out the lychees as it gave a perfumy taste...which doesn't go down well with greens!
I think I must've gone temporarily mad with that concoction, but hey, you live and you learn...it's good to experiment with food.
Heading back to the gym tomorrow morning and I might actually make something raw tomorrow...watch this space.
Hasta pronto
