gulp.

it's official... lovebird has gone off the deep end.
he's jumped into the sea full of greens.
aka: he's juicing.
you know, the thing that all celebrities swear by?
or what vegetarians promote?
or what extremely healthy people do for all three meals?
or what half the nation is doing right now, thanks to new year's resolutions
of eating healthy and slimming down?
regardless, he's jumped on that band wagon.
and, i hate to say it, but he loves it. 
on the other hand... i am not so in love with it.
why?
1. i typically haven't been a good "eat your greens" person.
2. i can't cook a dinner full of meat, carbs, starches and all things i love. 
3. the juicer is a pain in the butt {excuse my language} to clean. 
but, that being said...
it is growing on me.
if i chug it down in one sip, the aftertaste can be cured with a piece of gum.
my body does feel different and better.
and i can finally say i'm somewhat of a healthy eater. 
we'll see how long this healthy kick lasts.
{we are both hoping to last longer than the push from it being a new year}
i'm feeling it might be a permeant thing for lovebird.
as for me... it might just be a trial run. 

one things for certain:
eat your greens
whether juiced, raw, cooked or covered in ranch. 
you will feel better.
and that's a promise.
