Letter To Myself

 Dear Kiki,



     I know that this is a bit overdue but you know how work can be. Congratulations on all of your success thus far! Can you believe it has been one entire year already? Take a moment to look at yourself. You've lost 54 lbs which averages just over a pound a week. I am so happy to see that were consistent and didn't let the glitz and glamour of diet pills tempt you. I remember when you use to say "A year would take way too long. I'll never be able to stick with it." You have always been an open book but I feel that now when you speak about yourself, it really is weighed with the intent that you may possibly help someone. I am so proud of you. Remember when we looked through some of your older pictures? Not only has your body shape changed but your face looks younger now than it did when you were in school. I know most of your "school pics" have been put up but just look at this one from last year. Neither of these pictures show you with makeup on!

     I know sometimes you want to face palm yourself when you think "If only I had know about this sooner." I'm telling you right now there is nothing you can do about your past. Leave it in the past! I know the thought may come around every once in a while because you are only human but don't dwell on it. Always make sure you stay positive and focus on moving forward because this is only the begining. So with that being said. Keep up the good work and I raise a smoothie filled glass to you. CHEERS! (>_<) Until next time.

Pinkie

2-4 bananas depending on size

1 cup of frozen strawberries

1 cup of orange juice

2 cups of water.

If you have little girl's who are insisting on a "bubble gum" smoothie. (You know who you are lol) Try adding a cup of jack-fruit for slight bubble gum taste.

I really wanted to do a PINK drink for breast cancer awareness month and the best way to fight disease is with prevention. Also, did you know cancer thrives when the body is in an acidic state? You can read more about it here http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/ph-and-cancer.html Let's get a head start by adding another green smoothie to the mix.  I owed you one from the last post anyway. (>_<)

The Popeye

6- 8 oz of frozen spinach
1 cup of water
1 20 oz can of cut pineapple in juice with no sugar added
(add frozen berries if you'd like but this will change to color a bit)

I hope you enjoy these two as much as I do! *raises glass* Let's toast to our health! \(^_^)/
