What is the point?

The last few months have brought on some life style changes for our family. We are trying to eat healthier and more naturally (but not be freaks about it). In order to provide my insides with more fruits and veggies, I have been trying some new tricks. One of these tricks is that I have started making daily smoothies (100% fruit and the healthy yogurt only). Tonight I decided that these smoothies aren’t doing anything for me. I tried to open a new bottle of 100% pomegranate and blackberry juice to put in the food processor and it was just an embarrassing situation. I could not get the bottle open. I felt like such a wimp. It was just a regular bottle with a plain lid on it. How sad is that? What’s the point of all the fruits and vegetables if I am still going to be a weak sap? Sure, I could start pumping some iron but I not concerned about huge muscles right now. I just want the small muscles I use for my fine motor skills to work. You know... The same muscles I am trying to get my 1 year old to use. Is that too much to ask?

Haha how do you be so funny?! Hahaha I like you posts a lot. Maybe you should consider bench pressing Rees! Small motor skills just wont cut it sometimes!

hey, we do the smoothie thing too and our most recent trick is to blend up some spinach with the juice in the beginning (for some reason this makes it blend smaller). I swear, you CAN'T taste it. I know, weird, huh? But you know how picky I am and I really cannot taste it. And I feel super healthy after I eat spinach in m smoothie. :) So there ya go, add spinach and be like poppeye! :)

Hey, actually do that sometimes! (My friend Mandy introduced me to the whole Green Smoothie idea about a year ago). You are also supposed to be able to use kale and swiss chard. Crazy, huh?
