Detox for Vegans

Sometimes we are on a healthy streak and sometimes we are not. Last weekend we were not. Too many fried foods, M&Ms, and doughnuts led to some major stomach aches in this house. Man, once your body gets used to healthy food it REJECTS the bad stuff. So I decided to put us through detox yesterday and today. It's been fantastic. Green smoothie for breakfast and split pea soup and whole wheat rolls for dinner yesterday. Today we had homemade spaghetti but we used spaghetti squash instead of noodles and had a side of broccoli (I don't know if you noticed but that meal is made of ONLY vegetables, except for the small amount of turkey meat in the sauce, I have never been more proud).

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I'm not so exhausted and grumpy and fat and blah. I have energy and actually feel normal. I think my body really likes veggies and fruits! Now we can go back to normal, well balanced meals and I'll try not to buy the supersize bag of peanut butter m&m's again....that was the death of me.

Teagan decided to go get his leftover smoothie and drink it last night. He decided to lounge on the couch and drink it which lead to him dumping it all over his neck and chest, lovely. It looks like nasty baby food, but in reality it tasted like pineapple-peach-banana goodness.

Teagan wore his Halloween costumes for about 3 days straight. He loves helping me transfer flour from the wheat grinder to our wheat bucket.

This is his batman as of late, in case you couldn't tell. My mom made him the hilarious hat with the huge ears, we were all dying laughing when he wouldn't take it off. The backwards bib(cape) and sunglasses were natural partners with the hat. He wore this outfit for a number of days as well and all the people at the stores and parks got a real kick out of him. One little boy at the park kept calling him "meow" because he thought he was a cat. haha!

Loving his grandma. We will miss living so close to my mom. It has been a blast seeing her so often while we've lived so close to her! I think I'll sneak her in my suitcase and try to convince her to come along!

Speaking of moving, Zac interviewed at a few clinics in Las Vegas last week, but we weren't super excited about living there so we're hoping that his interviews in the southeastern Idaho area next week go really well. We have our eye on one particular clinic, hopefully they offer him one million dollars so that the decision is easy. :)

Seven weeks from today will be my last night in this apartment. I think I might cry when I leave this place, which is VERY strange for me because I am not at all sentimental about goodbyes. I guess it's a little scary to move to a new place and have to make new friends, mostly exciting though. I will be sad to leave a really great ward at church and some really great friends that I've made. I'll mostly miss being able to take a short 2 hour drive to see my mom whenever I want. Today a friend told me, "you guys are really moving into the grown-up stage now, how does it feel." I think it feels good. We are ready, I'm sure I'll laugh hysterically at this in 20 years, but I honestly think that we've really matured a lot while we've lived here ... in some ways, other ways we might be digressing. :)

Maybe my next post will be announcing our future town of residence...any predictions???
