I can't do this losing weight thing...it...it just isn't in my power right now. I am WEAK, I tell you...WEAK! My officemate loves food and adores cooking. She's always bringing in yummy things for us to try. This morning she brought in some avocados and brown sugar to make some ice cream. Yes. Avocado Ice cream. It's deeeeeelicious and so very easy to make!
~1 Ripe avocado
~1/3 cup milk
~1/4 cup crushed ice
~1 tablespoon brown sugar
Cube the avocado into a cup. Add milk, ice and sugar and mix it all up until mostly smooth. There will be little lumps of ice and avocado, but it just makes it better chunky, in my opinion. Then place the mixture in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. Stir it up once more before you enjoy. So so so sooooo yummy. Did I mention how delicious and yummy it is?
Oh yes, and I've got good news and bad news...
The good news is that I think I've found a counselor for Ron and I. He and his woman partner work with couples separately at first, and then together, with all four people in the room. Melanie found him.
That's where the bad news comes in. Melanie found him because the bottom is falling out of her relationship. She's moved out and is currently at an extended stay hotel. Poor dear, but we both knew this was coming. Wanna know how she found this great counselor? One of her coworkers had a tragedy. One afternoon she gets a frantic call from her husband saying that he'd just found their 23 year old daughter DEAD in her bed. Hysterics ensue...workplace emotional counselor is called.
It's been a very difficult six months or so for both Melanie and I. We've both had our share of work and relationship problems. I visited her last night so she could catch me up on the sordid details of the last two weeks of her life. Not good at all. Turns out she's most likely going to be laid off in the next 4 to 6 months as well. Poor, poor dear. But hey, that's what friends are for. She's always been there for me and I will always be there for her. We will help each other through this. I am so thankful for friends like her.
When we get back from vacation, I am making an appointment with this counselor. I don't give a shit what it costs, it is IMPERATIVE that we get in there...and I mean WE.
Now ya gotta check this shit out... HAHAHAHA!!! I LOVE IT!
M'kay, now I need to go take an aspirin for this SCREAMING headache.
Later...

That ice cream sounds positively sinful. However, just to keep you informed on all the amazing *cough* news in my life, you can now count another of your friends as a raw foodist--or at least MOSTLY raw, and working toward 100%. Face it, we've got you surrounded! ;-)
And furthermore...*hugs* to you.
Don't worry about losing weight, it will happen when you're ready.
I would clean that recipe up with almond milk and turbinado sugar.
It's the dairy that makes you fat. I quit dairy and lost a bunch of weight without even trying.
My motto: If i don't need it, I don't eat it. and we just don't need dairy.
good on you getting some counsel.
Cheers!
