My good friend Hawkgirl suggested last week that I watch the movie Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. Well, if that isn't a sign from my friend that perhaps the storage of winter fat I am sporting might be reaching epic proportions! I watched said movie and then promptly watched the next movie Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead 2 (creative name?). If those movies don't make you, at the very least, run to the produce market and buy some shit ass kale, I don't know what will! I mean really, every single one of us knows that our bodies run better on healthy food but vegetables? Yuck. There are very few vegetables that I would just die to eat! My death row meal will absolutely NOT have a single vegetable in it (because what the hell, ya leavin anyway!) So Hawkgirl and I start a vegetable experiment: Replace one meal a day with a smoothie/juice a day that consists of mostly vegetables with the grand plan of working our way up to two a day. Three days in I am completely SOLD on this vegetable/fruit eating crap and have proceeded to two smoothies a day! This is the best way to punch vegetables in without actually eating/tasting them! By day four my oldest money sucker thought I had ingested six cups of espresso for breakfast, I had that much energy! I even think that, come summer, I might just replace beer/wine/spirits with a kale infused vodka laced beverage! Everyone will sit around judging the crap out of me and thinking I am one pair of Birkinstocks away from Veganville, all the while wondering why I am so wasted! Win. Bloody. Win.
I will report back long term findings of this experiment.
(PS - If I EVER suggest to any of you that I might want to live on a farm and grow my own vegetables PLEASE stage an intervention. That would be crossing way over the line because hello - dirt!)
(PSS - Just in case you wondered what my death row meal would be, right now it would be poutine at Zogs in Whistler at 2:00 am.)
