Superbowl Hodgepodge

1. The NFL playoffs were held this past weekend and this year's Superbowl lineup will feature The New York Giants versus The New England Patriots. How do you define 'patriot'?

Off the top of my head:  One who is faithful, dependable and one who would die for what he believes in.

Having said that, I’m for the Giants!

2. What's something in your life right now that feels like a 'giant'?

I’m only on day 3 of a 9-day cleansing fast, so knowing I still have 6 days is a Goliath for me!  I am determined to follow through with this, to be as healthy as possible, and to conquer the huge giant that food issues can become if I allow it.  We’ve been doing good with our eating now for several years, but the holidays just scream baking which screams more sugar intake and all around unhealthy foods.  But, I take full responsibility--I opened my mouth, I chewed and swallowed and now I’m reaping the consequences.  So when this is over, I’ll be back on track and my ‘giant’ will be a thing of the past!

This cleansing fast I’m doing is not to be mistaken with the “Don’t Toot Your Horn” fast found in Matthew 6:16-18.  Though I look forward to the spiritual benefits, this fast is primarily for health reasons.

{the fast:  3 days raw veggies/fruits, 3 days liquids (which includes veggie broth)and 3 days raw veggies/fruits, as well as continuing to take my multi-vitamin and green drink}

3. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think back to being 18?

Wow, that’s a long time ago!  18 hmmm…how immature I was, but thinking how mature I was!

4. Coconut-mashed potatoes-vanilla ice cream-mayonnaise...which white food would be the hardest to give up? 

Never liked coconut, hardly ever eat ice cream or mayo, so my answer would have to be mashed potatoes, though a baked potato is my preference.

5. Describe an incident or a day you remember as the coldest you've ever experienced?

I’m a weenie when it come to cold weather, so there have been many cold days in my life.  9-11 would be the coldest day I have experienced psychologically speaking. 

6. You're hosting a brunch...what's your favorite dish to prepare and serve?

Green Chili Quiche.  Yummy!

7. How do you combat negative thinking?

two words:  THE WORD!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I’m hungry!

It’s All see answer to #8 Good!
