Thanks so much; hope you enjoy this recipe….you can use lemon juice, lime juice and grapefruit juice instead of the orange juice for this recipe. I’m ready to make this soup after a long weekend of eating too much BBQ foods, hehe…it was all worth it though! My opinion is to not compare yourself to anyone else and to be unique to yourself and not worry about what others are eating/doing/enjoying/not enjoying and live your life and do/eat/live with what makes you feel good and don’t worry about what anyone else or any other blogs are doing…you need to make yourself happy and be honest with yourself….do what you love and you will be happy…go for a walk, meditate, enjoy your favorite foods…no need for comparisons or seeing what others are doing to make them happy when all that matters is your happiness.
Have a great holiday!

Anything I could sub in for the orange juice? I don’t have any on hand…

Also Amie – may I ask your opinion about blogs and “influences”. I catch myself in a “bind” I guess – I enjoy reading and writing on my own – but sometimes I worry that blogging/ggers can be a negative influence in leading to further comparisons, body insecurities, “why can’t I eat/work out like that”?…any thoughts?

Thank you, Sherilyn! Great to hear from you. I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
