Actually, probably not as much as I would like b/c this really has been a transitional month for me. I am just figuring out what works best for me.
I weighed on Thanksgiving and measured my inches about a week after. I am going to weigh and measure again at Christmas.
So, stay tuned and my gift to you will be lost fat! Don’t go finding it on Christmas and New Years either. The holidays are an excuse to enjoy good food and company, but not an excuse to get hammered and stuff yourself (at least for your health!).
OK, I’m going to be honest. I was hungry today. However, it felt good. I’m getting in tune with my body again. I am realizing when I’m hungry and getting full. When I was hungry, I ate a raw snack. You know, not only am I feeling better physically, but it’s mental too. Knowing I’m putting good food into my body just feels good. It increases mood and self esteem, that in turn makes a person sexier!
I Am What I Eat (and now I am ALIVE!):
Green Smoothie made in the Vitamix. An orange, a banana, an o. apple, raspberries, spinach leaves and frozen o. blueberries. The flavor was great, but the apple made it too sludgy. I need juicier fruits. I’m going to go to Costco and buying a ton of oranges and grapes!
2 slices of an o. apple
Small bowl of pumpkin seed, sprouted sesame seeds, and sprouted fenugreek. I mixed it with Bragg’s dressing and scarfed it.
Green Smoothie, this time consisting of an orange, a lemon, a banana, spinach leaves and o. dandelion. This was good!
A small avocado sliced, a large handful of grape tomatoes cut in half, pumpkin seeds, mixed in Bragg’s dressing. So yummy!
Snacked on a few dried apricots and a handful of o. baby carrots.
OK, I’m now I’m hungry! So I had a Cinnamon Roll Larabar.
Clementine
Dinner was a huge salad. I started with o. spinach leaves and topped it with sliced cucumber, o. carrots, o. radish, sunflower seeds, and a variety of sprouts. I of course used my Bragg’s dressing and loved every bite. Also, I made home made hummus (in the Vitamix of course) and dipped veggies in it. I want to get a dehydrator to make homemade breads/crackers. It’s all good though. I didn’t eat this because it’s now raw. The beans are "prepared" and the tahini was roasted. Bummer. I can’t wait to try a raw hummus though!
Few bites of my son’s o. red delicious apple.
Synergy Kombucha (to keep from wanting snacks)
I drank a lot more water today and will continue to focus on this. I want my organs and cells to be nourished so they can get rid of crap and fat!
Did I Exercise Today?
Nope. I have a new plan here though. I am going to wake up Monday thru Friday at 6 am and go on a walk by myself (or take a kiddo if they are awake). Saturday Brandon and I will walk together. Sunday I am resting.
I’ll be taking the I-Pod, b/c this is the one chance I will get to listen to audio books or music my kids can’t hear (depends on my mood).
Overall and Tomorrow’s Goals:
How can I not feel good. This stuff really does satisfy the taste buds, mind and body! Watch me melt away and glow! Tomorrow’s goals are to do what I did today and add in the exercise!
Note to self: I need to start taking pictures of what I’m actually eating!
