Pulping

 


Speaking of weight, I’ve gained a few pounds this calendar year.  In a tiny effort to adjust towards health priorities, I decided to start Pulping.  Its the gray area between eating fruits and veggies and juicing. 

To juice or not to juice is the question.  Big time juicers cost a big time price tag.  I don’t really want to pay that and I’m not fully persuaded.  This could just be a summer of 2023 thing. (lol) 

So we landed somewhere in the middle. Meet the Nutribullet.

Now, I’m incredibly late to the party, as this appliance took the world by storm ages ago. However, I am here for a revival. It is the unadulterated truth.  Weather you are juicing, pulping, or smoothing, it’s an easy way to accommodate the lifestyle pivot, at an affordable price.

My goal is to eat cleaner, add the veggies, and accomplish reasonable meal replacement.  Weight loss isn’t the goal, but I do think it’s the right point to pivot me back to the gym and into better, healthier, and sustainable routine.  I think it’s the most reasonable expectation for weight and dietary management there was.  It’s been an adjustment to shopping for frozen fruits and veggies along with fresh fruits and veggies.

 I’m so new to this, I’m still experimenting with recipes, and veggies that I may not normally eat.

For now, my staple go to is Apple, Celery, Cucumber, and Lemon.  Its simple, light and refreshing.

My goal is to keep the pulp veggie heavy so there will be stomach filling pulp.  I understand that juicing alone on fruits will make your sugar spike and have you hungry all the time.

It’s a different kind of meal prepping, but necessary to do in advance because its not the type of thing that “excites me” it’s the type of thing that is a practical progression of preventing food waste.  Its also ensures that I actually consume the appropriate amount of veggies.  I’ve admitted that it is really easy to avoid them completely if you aren’t willing to consume them raw.  Making salads take time, and or the purchase of prepared foods. All the rest of the veggies require cooking.  This solves both of these problems.

 Do you have a good  balanced health system or solution that you are new to?  Have you committed to pulping/ juicing? Tell me your experience in the comments.  

Abundance Always

Sing Unto the Lord

  Sing Unto the Lord This was the name of the songbook in the Pentecostal Church I grew up in. It was my favorite songbook.   It was the only songbook I knew. During COVID, I ordered a copy of it to teach my children the hymns I grew up singing. To my dismay, the organization changed the songs that were listed. It was an abbreviated version of my childhood memory. Singing has always been one of my favorite things.  It makes me happy.   I love music, and I love to sing. I always wanted to be a jazz soloist. I don’t have a strong soloist voice, but I can carry a tune.   I’m an efficient backup/choir singer. It never stopped me from grabbing the mic in church or at Karaoke. Most of my adult life I’ve sat on the back pew and absorbed the goodness of God.   During covid, we weren’t going to church at all. No one was. I was inspired to sing and write like never before.   I’ve written so many poems and songs over the last 4 years. Most of whi...

The Universe

  This week I had a conversation with a friend.   Our paths have intertwined on various levels and paths over the years. We both have always subscribed to manifesting and abundance.   I discovered recently that she too is renewing her faith in Jesus.   We are both being revived in the faith. We discussed the layers of “new thought” and it's   place in God’s plan. She shared with me some revelations about several conversations that we’ve previously had. I thought back over my entire journey.   I grew up underneath the church pew.   As a young adult I got distracted but returned to my faith in a fringe capacity.   I permanently occupied the “backsliders’ row” on the church pew. When I was far from the cross, I missed the discipline of faith.   I missed the inspiration,  promise of abundance, and prosperity that results in   being sprit filled.   When I was introduced to meditation and  manifesting,   I found gre...

Make Hay

  This summer I took two courses.   Math and Business Ethics. I felt drained mentally.   The last 8 weeks went by like a slow-motion blink. I had joy.   Good things happened, but it just felt exhausting. One positive thing that occurred was my involvement with my new church. It’s in its infancy stages and everything is new and exciting.   The people, the passion, and the mission.   It has rekindled faith and promise in me that had solidified on a back burner somewhere. This week I was inspired to write.   I wrote a song.   I wrote two poems.   I wrote a presentation for a motivational speech I will soon deliver. I returned to my blog. The irony about taking Math and Business Ethics is that I really do know math conceptually, and I do have ethics, figuratively.   However, after fundamental applications were required in the processing of both math and ethics, I was struggling. Literally struggling.   Thin...
