De-Tox!

My best friend from college, Cheryl, finally got a chance to come and visit me. Her last trip here to the US was about 4 1/2 years ago. She stayed over from Monday and left yesterday. Her son, Sean, who had formed a bond with my son, Iggie, was also here so the two had a marathon of gaming and whatever teens do on the internet these days that don't get them into trouble. Needless to say it was endless chatting for Cheryl and me, trying to catch up on the latest news. We had marathon chit-chats from early mornings till late nights with the usual eating binges and glasses of pinot grigio, reisling, cabernet sauvignon and morning mimosas!

Today, I'm trying to be good and put my eating back on track. I got out my juicer and citromatic. I juiced the oranges and the apples, strawberries and grapes went into the juicer. Heavenly breakfast!

For lunch I had homemade hummus (I'll share the recipe later this week), avocado, broccoli sprouts, lettuce, sesame seeds and tomatoes in a whole wheat wrap. I didn't think of taking a picture of that one, sorry :)

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and Mike wants to take me to my favorite Italian restaurant so the eating will take another step back but it will be worth it!

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there!
