Monies been really tight, so I haven't had the variety I like, but it hasn't been bad. Ate a lot more spinach than I usually do as I like kale. Mangos have been hit or miss as the crop isn't totally ready. On the good side, the hog plums have been great. They don't really work in the nutriblast since the seed is so big and the fruit so little, but they're great off the tree. This year is the biggest yield I've had since planting the tree almost ten years ago. I think that's mostly due to the hurricanes in 2005 that removed many of its branches.
Still not exercising and I know I need to. It's so hot in the mornings. 5 am the temperature is already in the 80's, sometimes even over 85 degrees. Still you'll see a great surprise in the weigh-in section.
Weigh-in
Week twenty-four--156.2 pounds. Week twenty-three--158.3 pounds. Beginning weight 188 pounds. One week loss--2.1 pounds. Total loss--31.8. Average loss per week--1.33 pounds per week.
See what I mean? I guess the weight fell into the 157 range enough over the past few months that it decided to go into the 156. This was yesterdays weight as well as today. That's a good sign.
Benefits moment:
Strawberries--This sweet favorite is loaded with heart-protecting, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory phenols. Strawberries have wildly versatile flavor and compliment a wide variety of other flavors and textures, making them perfect additions to your Nutriblast! (They've been well priced for several weeks and they've been part of my nutriblasts many times)
Smaller to medium-sized berries generally have more flavor than their larger counterparts. Make sure to choose plump, firm, bright red berried attached to green spotless leaves. Strawberries are very perishable and susceptible to mold, so remove any moldy or damaged strawberries from the container prior to eating, and enjoy within one or two days. To freez, follow the same process as outlined for raspberries.

Week Twenty-three
Okay, I've been out of town and a bit discouraged about the weight-loss. I've seen 157 several times between weekly reports, but the weight always seems to go back into 158 and bounce around the low end.
I took my Nutribullet with me, but was able to make an average of one drink a day. I really need two or three. Often I preferred the offered food rather than make my drink. I had plenty of choices for the Nutriblast, so I can't use that as an excuse. We went to the grocery store the first day and purchased a good selection. Now I'm fighting to get back down due to putting on two pounds and knowing the only way for greater loss is to exercise. I've done what I can with the drinks alone. I know that's why my weight has stayed pretty stable over the past few weeks.
Weigh-in
Week Twenty-three--158.3. Week Twenty-two--160.4 pounds. Week Nineteen--158 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. Weight gain from week nineteen--.3 pounds. Weight loss from week twenty-two--2.1 pounds. Total weight loss--29.7 pounds. Average loss per week--1.29 pounds.
Benefits moment:
Raspberries--Who can resist the delightfully soft, sweet-tart raspberry? These little fruits are cancer-fighting powerhouses full of free radical-blocking phytonutrients and antioxidant ellagitannins unique to the raspberry.
Like all berries, raspberries are extremely perishable; so only buy them a day or two before eating. Look for berries that are firm, plump, and richly colored. Avoid berries that have been packed too tightly if you're buying them prepackaged. Raspberries freeze very well and can keep for up to a year if stored properly. Freeze the berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and then transfer to an airtight plastic bag. and a squeeze of lemon to preserve color!

I love raspberries. Miss my patch we had in Virginia. Couldn't get them to take down here in Florida.
