Do Something Refreshing. Eat thy grapefruit!

Good morning, loves!

Drinking my coffee and gearing up for the day. Looove my morning coffee. Yesterday I drank at least 90 ounces of water. It was awesome. My co-worker was complaining of headaches as he sat drinking his Redbull. I understand the addiction people have for that but it dehydrates you so bad and in the end does much more harm than good. I kept saying "Get a big water and guzzle it down!" Unfortunately this is often a lesson learned with "age" and gaining some wisdom. He's 22. Not saying younger people don't know how to be healthy but this particular guy is not really too worried about it.......yet. ;) 

Now on to my newest obsession. Grapefruit! 

I love pretty much all fruit and vegetables and consume many daily and recently a friend was talking about grapefruit a lot. And it got me craving it. I have tried the organic grapefruit and...wow! So good. Organic is expensive in general but I think it's worth it to go organic with certain things. There are even lists of the best fruit and veggies to buy organic. I was looking at grapefruit at my local Stop n Shop and first picked up the non-organic type. Then I walked past the organic table and noticed they seemed smaller. When looking at them side by side, it really left me feeling disturbed at the thought of what exactly was being pumped into the non-organic ones. It really is scary. And horrible that the better ones are more expensive. I grew up in Oregon where most of my family had gardens of some sort and eating out of the garden was a way of life. You ate fresh all Summer and then in the colder months you ate the ones you had canned. So so good. 

But my favorite way to start the day lately is with instant organic oats, which I actually found the 360 brand at Whole Foods to be reasonable for this and really good. And organic grapefruit. When I was a little girl, I'd sprinkle sugar on it. It kind of defeats the purpose! haha. Now I eat it fresh with nothing on it and actually really love it and how refreshing it is. It kind of hits the spot for me. Grapefruit has been one of those foods that has always been promoted when someone is dieting and it is a good one to incorporate! 

                                                       Why wouldn't you want to eat this?? 

I hope you all have a lovely Thursday. And I apologize for making you crave grapefruit. Not really because I want you to crave healthy things!! haha!

Enjoy this! I love this song! Avicii "Wake Me Up"
