Watermelon Coolie

I am just writing because I need to write. I am doing this for eating vegan. That has been my mantra the last few days. Since, I last wrote I have walked and stretched everyday. Yeah Cole! I am increasing the exercise. Basically, I am lazy and I rather stay in bed watching television. My thoughts were resistant to exercise, and I kept telling myself that I think of better things to do. A question popped in my mind, “Can you?” I went on a thought twist like this: I am not working. I am not going to school.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that eating vegan, exercising and writing is my summer job. It is the only way that I can accept the exercise. That being said, I swam the last five days. I went to the gym three times for cardio dance/salsa.

I’m still going blender mad. I am making Watermelon Coolies; a beverage that is truly refreshing. I like to have the Watermelon coolie after the gym. It is cold with a flavor of extrawater. On my first try, I blended ice, watermelon, pineapple, lime juice, and a splash of orange juice. The orange juice over powered the drink and gave it sharp pre-taste. If there are after- tastes then can’t there be pre-tastes? The lesson is to omit the orange juice.

My second attempt making Watermelon Coolies, I blended a shit load of ice, a bunch of watermelon, a lot of fresh pineapple chunks, and the juice of one lime. I blitzed the shit out of that fruit. The resulting liquid was so cold and delicious. I drank one glass right there, and then I filled my glass up again. I gave the rest to my brother.

I don’t have a picture to share. I was so excited that I could not get it together to take a picture. I just wanted that watermelon juice in my belly.
