Grass Root

I stopped by Tampa's only raw food restaurant--Grass Root and had the most fantastic hour chatting with the owners Sabrina and Spence. I had a great green smoothie called the Incredible Hulk, big dose of greens and fruit, with some added Hemp Protein powder---Delicious and amazingly energizing---just the perfect cap to a stressful day of limo driving and Tampa traffic.

They are big on wheatgrass there and offered to let me try a shot of wheatgrass juice for free---wow. I thought it would taste horrible, but I actually liked it, the taste was refreshing, earthy, green, vibrant...AND...even better, was the way it made me feel...even better than a shot of espresso! Its almost as if I felt it absorbing into my body through my system. I am hooked. Something to look at starting to do on a much more frequent basis.

After I was home for a few hours, I was a little hungry again, so I made a pseudo-guacamole and ate it with some flax crackers.

I say pseudo because I didnt actually have the ingredients for typical guac so I improvised....one avocado, some chopped onion and garlic, a bit of cumin, some celtic sea salt, and a splash of raw apple cider vinegar...still delicious---but I like the original with the lime and cilantro.

Had a pretty decent raw food day today. Not 100% but pretty damn close. For lunch, Kyle and I went to Sweet Tomatoes and I did pretty good there, had a small bit of cooked, but mostly raw salad stuff.

Kyle said he likes Flatwoods so hopefully, we can meet up this weekend, saturday morning, if all works out well, and can go riding through flatwoods. That would be nice. Actually, Kayak Shabbat is this Sat. But I don't think I will be able to afford that, and biking is free...

A good day overall. Looking forward to tomorrow...driving my fave clients first thing in the morning...should start my day off good.

Ohh...I forgot to mention, last scale reading was exactly 280. That brings the total to 24 lbs lighter!
