Kabocha

Kabocha - take that auto-correct.

I tried it a couple of months ago as part of MHP list.  I thought it was okay.  I bought another one specifically because my stomach was wonky.  Suddenly, I LOVE it.  BTW it was the same flavor.  I bought a sampling of flavors and plan to get more this week.  The idea is to drink one per day for the healthy benefits.

Here's why I love it.  It tastes like a cocktail.  Fizzy, tart, sour ... with a vibrant mouth-feel (really - try it!).  It's also suppose to be a healthful drink with enzymes, probiotics, etc.  It has 60 -100 calories per drink - not too bad.  I have my morning drink routine and this is a nice afternoon addition (stops the munchies).

Here's the downside.  It has 60 -100 calories per drink.  I don't like to drink my calories (except alcohol).  Now I drink the collagen and the Kabocha.  Daily, that could be up to 200 calories.  But both have good health benefits so I'm making an exception.  The other downside is the cost ... about $3.50 per bottle.  Combine that with my daily Starbucks and OUCH.  I might try it for a month and see if I notice the benefits.  I could start phasing my Starbucks to "occasionally."  (at least until I go back to work)

Anyway - family left this morning.  I'm up bright and early (and hungry - good sign I've been eating healthy).  First of many sheets already in the wash.  Even thought the cleaning ladies will do a lot of the work tomorrow, I have a day full of clean up first.

I'm taking back-to-back classes this morning. Yoga HITTS and lifting.  We'll see how it goes.  It's the beginning of the month so classes are easier.  I miss the yoga, but still want the lift.

Then home cleaning and washing sheets (it will take the entire day - 5 bedrooms and towels).  I won't do hair or make-up ...  I love those kind of days.  No one is home, house to myself - deep breath of joy.

Yesterday was good.  Garage door seems to be okay.  The refrigerator is on the fritz.  It leaks sometimes and now the interior light burned out.  I need to call a repair for next week.  It's still cold - knock wood, fingers crossed.  Grocery stores were heavenly empty.  Nice to shop without the crowds.

I visited work too.  Very fun catching up with everyone.  On one hand, it made me miss it all ... on the other hand, I was glad of my current non-work situation.  No going back now.

That's the scoop.  Heading into what should be a fun, busy, crazy weekend.  Once the prep is done, I can sit back and enjoy.  HAPPY day!
