Day 6- Forgetting To Eat

Hi! Today I realized that I normally snack more that I realize. I was at Kroger today getting some more fruits and vegetables and walked right past the cheese counter and almost grabbed a piece of sample cheese. It’s just something I always do when I walk past the cheese counter. It got me thinking about all the things I eat without even thinking about.

My calories have reduced quite a bit this past 6 days. I guess I’m just getting used to being hungry. I normally eat lunch around noon but noon came and went. It didn’t dawn on me till 3:00 that I hadn’t eaten anything for lunch. I was feeling a little loopy and weak this afternoon and now I know why.

I’ve lost a couple pounds already this week. I’m surprised because I didn’t lose any last year when I was detoxing. I know I’ve been more strict this time around, and I’m pretty proud of myself!

So, what I ate today…

My smoothie consisted of a few things I had left over, I was due to go to the grocery store. I blended up some frozen mixed berries, 1 banana, and a splash of almond milk.

I had a snack at 10:30 of a banana and a POM sparking water cocktail.

Lunch was at 3:00. I was pretty hungry at this time so I had to cheat a little and eat a little grain. I topped my salad with some quinoa. You can find this recipe here. It’s my fave!

Dinner was tomato soup and sweet potato fries! The soup was another one of those that I put a little of this and a little of that in it. I didn’t write down all the measurements. It turned out pretty good. The secret was a can of Fire Roasted tomatoes.

Red for the Razorbacks! Go Hogs!!

I’m planning on having some fruit for dessert. The soup was delicious but I don’t think It’s going to keep me full till bedtime. ;(

See you tomorrow night!

Day 1–Have a Headache Already

Happy New Year to everyone! Day 1 of the detox started today. It’s been pretty tough,I’m not gonna lie. I went to Whole Foods and Walmart yesterday to get all the fruits and vegetables I needed for the week. I’ve had a headache all day due to the lack of caffeine. I really don’t drink but maybe a cup and a half of coffee and a glass of tea a day. But I sure did miss it today. This morning I got up to help in the nursery at church. I made the Antioxidant smoothie. You can find the recipe here . It was really good, a little tart but not bad. When I got to the church I got a cup of unsweetened green tea (no caffeine) so I could convince myself it was a cup of coffee. The tea and smoothie held me over till about 11:30. I made a nice little salad for lunch with water with of couple apples thrown in. My salad had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds dressed with balsamic vinaigrette I did get pretty hungry this afternoon so I made the roasted chi...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning. Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

Well, I gave in. I had a ½ of a warm glazed donut from Shipley’s. J It was soo good! I made a smoothie to keep me full and from eating more donuts. I call it peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie! Peaches ‘n cream oatmeal smoothie 1 cup of peaches ½ cup of raw oats 1 cup of almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter Splash of vanilla I liked it, though I thought it was a little thick. I think I will cut back on the oats next time. Lunch was made by Kyle today! He made grilled turkey and swiss on ciabatta bread sandwiches. They were very good! Can you see the Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich? I grew them this week! It was so easy and I thought I would share with you how you can grow them in your own kitchen as well. I had a friend of mine give me some sprouts last weekend and told me that I should try it out. She had lots of luck in growing hers, so I thought I would try as well. You need: Alfalfa Seeds (You can get them at whole foods in the bulk section) Mason jar and top Some sort of m...
