What a glorious day. I actually slept in until 5 today. No 1am interruptions. Sweet. Since I slept in soooo late 🙂 decided to have water for breakfast instead of coffee. After downing about a quart of water, it was time to do a little bookwork before off to the lawn. I have a thing about not starting up the lawn mower before 7am. Just not kosher. After 7 I went out to prep the lawn for mowing. This basically entails a clean sweep in the yard for doggie doo and tennis balls (tennis balls don’t stand up very well to a lawn mower). After the sweep it was time to mow. Sargent (my sugar pie German Shepherd) loves playing with tennis balls. He knows exactly where the lawn mower is going next and places a ball strategically in my way. I have to admit mowing the lawn with the dogs in the kennel is definitely easier.

Once the lawn was done I was so ready for breakfast. Alas, a shower had to come first. I felt a little dehydrated after the lawn thing so I asked Randy to open me up a coconut. Raw young coconuts are so full of electrolytes and the most excellent thing to have after a good workout. Breakfast came after the shower and started off with 4 oz of fresh wheat grass. I don’t think I mentioned this in the previous posts and if I miss it in the future it is simply a given unless my grass suppliers are out of product. Today we had steamed spinach with a soft poached egg on top. For a compliment we had Canadian Bacon and I had a piece of sprouted grain bread topped with coconut oil and raw honey.

I got a good session at my desk and lunch finally came around 2pm. That’s what happens when you eat such a good breakfast, you forget it’s time for lunch. We started out with stuffed jalapenos (leftovers from Sunday) then it was Buffalo NY Steaks on the Barbee and Asparagus. For a side dish we had bread sticks with 2 dipping sauces – pesto and marinara.

Next it was time for an afternoon nap. I love my naps – especially after having a very productive day.

Dinner was a potpourri of delights consisting of steamed artichokes complimented with turmeric mayonnaise, and leftover coconut curry soup. For dessert we went all out and enjoyed one of those Chocolate covered macadamia nut caramels from Costco.
