My Green Smoothie Method

 I've always hated the fact that most smoothie recipes and protein shakes are usually sweet.  Just once I'd like to see a meal replacement shake flavoured "Taco" instead of "Fudge Brownie".  So when I'm making up my green smoothies I don't usually put in fruits, I have great fun combining random assortments of vegetables and use plain kefir, yoghurt or sour cream as the base, sometimes just lemon juice and water.

Today's smoothie:

-dandelion greens

-cilantro

-half a roma tomato

-3 teeny radishes

-some yellow pepper

-a stalk of broccoli

-a pinch of saffron

-plain kefir


Today's smoothie is really good. 

Our guinea pigs are really enjoying the plethora of veggies at our disposal, also!

I AM Organized

I've been putting this blog off all week, not because I'm not feeling good about everything, but because I just couldn't think of something to say.  So, I'm dipping into the I AM chalice. I realized last year that I have undiagnosed adult ADHD.  It was stupid how, lots of my friends who are diagnosed ADHD were posting memes on facebook about the condition and it was getting a little too familiar, then I saw this one: I looked back on my life and saw all the signs, from hyper-focusing on the wrong thing at the wrong time, to time-blindness, to procrastination, to executive dysfunction.  I've spent the last 20 years building up my coping mechanisms without even realizing it.   So, the last couple of months when I actually got my butt in gear and worked on my Bat'leth form, made the Bat'leth, researched it, organized it, printed and laminated it, put it into a good (I hope) order, and practiced it, tweaked it, all long before the deadline instead of frantically...

March Numbers

  I love spreadsheets. So, I'm pretty happy with my numbers.  Putting in the monthly tally's shows me that I have been letting some things slide, but the things I have been working on are now habits, so I should be able to bring more things into focus. Looking forward to being back on the mats this week. Song of the day: Press Enter to Exit by The Horrors https://open.spotify.com/track/79TbiUxFgg5HBkeXbVrwQl?si=ec9934983d8f4abf

Everything within you

 What a fantastic class!  I really wasn't sure what to expect.  I guess I kind of expected the Spanish Inquisition (👀), with a full critique after the presentation of each form.  But I realized afterwards that we have to be our own critic, and that's part of what the next 1000 reps is about.  (With, of course, helpful nudges and suggestions from team mates and mentors) In other news, I found a great quote.  I'm doing a course next week on Construction Industry Ethics, and part of the prep work was naming your own personal motto.  I had found a quote that really resonated with me in one of the mini-books I have to read for the supervisor's team (the book is Habits Die Hard: 10 Steps to Building Successful Habits, FANTASTIC book, highly recommend).  The quote is: "You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you." By Brian Tracy When things get tough it's sometimes hard to remember that you're capa...
