Love being here and giving and getting support.

White coating on my tongue upon awakening

Muscle soreness from Wednesday's squats and lunges

Swollen under-eye circles in the morning

Some gas

Minor redness and a lot of bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

Comment by Greenmama on April 15, 2012 at 1:20pm: @ Jenna: Woo Hoo! Jump right in. @ Helena: Sorry to hear about your unripe mango experience. Depending on where you live, it can be almost impossible to get decent ones. I don't normally drink much coconut water, but I got a good deal on a case. Not organic, though. :( @ February Girl and LauraLily: Thanks for your constant encouragement. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Comment by Helen on April 15, 2012 at 4:28am: Hi Greenmama, I'm glad you enjoyed your mangos, I had 3 last week and they could really be riper, I felt really weird and bloated after them so now I'm rather doing bananas because I can recognize if they're ripe or not.

I'm quite impressed of drinking coconut water so I searched if it is sold somewhere in my city, I found an organic one but it was just a very small package and very expensive. Maybe I'll be lucky with my next searching:)

Comment by Jenna<3 on April 15, 2012 at 3:38am: Wow, your dedication to just post this everyday and actually stick to it is really impressive. I might take some of your advice and just do it :) for a year exactly like you say on here.

Anyways its really inspirational to just see your post every single day.
