day 37 
It's another good day. Right now it's sunny outside, which is just so lovely.
This morning, I gave in to the couch and overslept, so I was in a big panic getting ready to work. I ate my salad, check. Showered, check. Made a smoothie.
In the last couple days, I've really been experimenting with the smoothie. Yesterday, I made one with spinach, broccoli slaw, lemon, pomegranate juice and strawberries -- nice and not too sweet. Today's was broccoli slaw, lime, pomegranate juice and strawberries. It was thick and really tasty.
So I finally propel myself out the door. Put the smoothie in my bicycle cupholder, put my purse in the pannier, hitch up my skirt and hit the road. Everything was great until I got down by the river, crossing the light rail tracks.
As I'm crossing the tracks, everything slowed down. In slow motion, I saw the plastic cup that held the smoothie rise in the air, and then somersault, throwing all the contents onto my front wheel. Mmmm, smoothieeee!
I was in such a good mood that I couldn't even be upset. I know I should have a lid on it, I know the cupholder is just not reliable, I knew these things going in. So once I got in the park, I stopped and filled the cup with water, and rinsed off the bike. My evening will be spent getting all those little strawberry and flax seeds off of the bike.
There have been other changes, other than weight loss and an extreme change in the way I eat. I notice that my skin is changing color! I was really pale, like grey-blue pale, but now my face looks almost rosey. I notice that I don't seem to be bruising as easily as I did; I used to bruise if you'd look at me. I haven't gotten a bruise in weeks.
My face continues to change. Definition is coming out: cheekbones, temples, and suddenly, my chin is no longer part of a larger double chin. Not that the double chin is gone, it's not, but the chin is a free standing entity.
No one at work has said anything, but I'm not terribly surprised about that. I see it, that's plenty.
I can't wait to see how my blood work has improved!!
