Principles

Kimberly Snyder 's  Principles are listed here. 

I think my main principle that I practice everyday is drinking a green glowing smoothie. I follow this religiously, because has become my practice for about two years now. The energy I feel from drinking it is like a little child on a sugar high, the only difference is it last longer and it is healthier of course! It is best to drink it in the morning on empty stomach, sometimes I put lemon for detox reason or because it just taste good. This is the original GGS !!! I however switch up my greens a lot when I can and I always love putting banana to make it sweet. When I can I put parsley or mint, refreshing and very energizing. Besides it being ideal, don't forget the amount of vitamins and minerals you are putting into your body already. Therefore, you are starting your day right! Just to add to it all remember you are also getting your protein and fiber. Just know drinking a green smoothie in morning is best thing you can do! When I first started, I actually loved it. The only thing I had to deal with was withdraws of sugar and pretty much headaches at first. But, once it is part of your lifestyle you might actually want to drink more!

Other principle that became second nature for me when I started this lifestyle was eating for fruits and vegetables overall. I only eat meat once a day, unless there is some special event in my life. However, I always usually drink the GGS so I don't guilt trip myself about it.  Now, if I stay over someone house this a little more complex of a matter. Regardless, I ALWAYS eat light to heavy no matter what. Another thing is if I don't have enough vegetables or fruits in my system let us just say you won't want to be around me. Sorta like the average "typical" American that don't have their coffee in the morning. Also, compare to how I use to eat, I learned more about other cultures and foods over all. For example, I love bok choy on my soup. Something I might never looked into if I did not change my way of thinking. I am also more open about other things like quinoa and different salads. 

In the past, I have cut out dairy completely, however this principle is more challenging because I have to eat out a lot and don't know what has dairy or not. But, I try my best and I can't remember the last time I had actual cow milk!

As they always say perfection does not exist!

A lifetime bucket list and a Wish come true

I did a similar blog in my other blog, which was short and sweet. But for Kim's assignment I will share more.

This summer as a graduation present my mother gave me a gift of a lifetime. There was two places I always wanted to go Paris and to London. However, I only wanted to go to The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre , which was like about almost three hours from our hotel!

Many people that read his books, might not know he was a fighter pilot in World War Two. This the helmet he used.

If you ever watched or read Matilda, this photo is something that you will find interesting. Blake here describe how Dahl wanted Miss Trunchbull to look like.

This is the front the museum.  Next door was a knitting shop and they sold fabric (all that stuff). They even give lessons to near locals as well.

This is a food blog, so I will share what I had healthy or not. So I had the Jacket Potato with Chicken ( they don't have corn that day bummer) but that salad had to be organic because it tasted so fresh and good! And my mom till day says that the potato was too, because she swear it grown in their farm which honestly can be true! I order a Presse , so good I wanted another one! 

We walk outside a bit and  yes it was narrowed, but we got lucky it was beautiful out that day. The amount of green was really breath taking!

If it where for me I would walk in a place like this everyday, but I love the city too. I went to this museum because growing up and till this day Ronald Dahl is one of my favorite authors. The adventures I have taken with his book as young child can't be put into words! But going here was like meeting him it was truly beautiful. To be honest, it truly touch my heart when I was eating and I saw a lesson going on in their classroom. This man was a true hero, to many in my generation and still is today. If you ever go to London, I really encourage anyone who has children to go or even you if you loved his book.

Another Romaine Wrap

 In my other blog you got to know a little about my eating habit and some progress I made with food. One thing that is always in this house is Romaine Lettuce.  Just so you know, this is a simple and not artsy blog and do this when I have time. Therefore these food blog are very simple. So lets start, as always I worked with what I had at home.

There are five leaves of romaine and half a cucumber. As always I have the process of cleaning it with apple cider vinegar.

These are actually organic carrots they look funny (hehe). I used two carrots and used a grater. Avocado a whole one, some red onion just for taste (raw) and half a lime.

With the ingredients above I mixed them up in a bowl, feel free to add more color or even spices for taste! 

Here is fun and last part you fill them in with the filling, don't overload or once you roll the romaine letter it will crack in half if you do. That is pretty much it. Warning these will fill you up I promise! I should know I am a heavy eater.
