2 numbers away
We won $100 on a powerball ticket from Saturday's drawing. I'm happy with it...cuz it's $100 we didn't have before. But we had matched 4 of the 6 numbers: If we had also matched the powerball number, we would have won $10,000; if we had matched the 5th regular number, we would have won $200,000; and if we had matched all 6 numbers, well, you know....
I have been trying to eat better and have been working out regularly for about a month now. I feel so much better, I can hardly believe it. I think I have lost some weight, but I haven't gotten on a scale, so I can't say for sure. I know my clothes are fitting better, and my face is definitely thinner.
The remarkable part in all this, though, is how I feel mentally. I attribute a lot of this to the almighty spinach smoothie I have for breakfast. In fact, I would love to get someone to take the Spinach Smoothie Challenge to see if it improves their mood as well. But everyone says it sounds gross. It's not! Maybe tastes a little grassy, but I find the drink quite refreshing. Here is the recipe, in case anyone reading this wants to try it:
Spinach-Orange Smoothie
About a cup of juice or Crystal Light
1 orange, peeled
About a cup and a half fresh spinach
one third cup frozen blueberries and/or raspberries
2 or 3 ice cubes
Place everything in a blender and blend it all up until smooth. It will be a gross color (rosy greenish brown), but it tastes pretty good!
