Day 18

Work Out – Off Day…hips seems to feel better but I am still not sure so am not doing any extra exercise other than my normal stuff. Hot yoga will help lubricate and stretch, hope to make it on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully its not inflammation, heat is not good for that!  Never soak in a hot tub after a car accident or anything like that.  It feels good but its not a good look.  ICE is the key.

Breakfast – You know the drill, berry vegan protein shake. Still put in a piece of banana because it was getting soft! I would not have on a day with out a workout, or at least try not to. I seem to eat this more often than not.  I figure I can control my breakfast 100% by blending it with tons of good healthy clean foods full of nutrient value and antioxidants.  It sweet so it clears and sweet tooth cravings I may have early in the day.  Its also filling.

Lunch – Had a shot glass of a goji berry shake…was at the Pilate studio where I will be doing one of my detox classes and tried a taste. Was good.  Had all kinds of stuff in it, ALL super foods like pomegranate powder,  palm sugar, agave, bee pollen, fresh raw honey form a local bee farmer, sun warrior protein powder which is vegan, frozen strawberries and a couple other things I am forgetting I am sure. Eventually had 3 lemon pepper wings, baked and a few carrot sticks dipped in ranch dressing (just a little).

Dinner – left over quinoa, shrimp, carrots,  broccoli, garlic, scallions form yesterday.  I have enough left for one more day. Was GREAT the second day!

Day 17

Still blogging my food journal.  This becomes a habit after a while they say…still trying to figure out when though.

Workout – Zumba class…class was amped today.  Great group of folks movin and shakin.

Breakfast – Old faithful vegan protein shake again. The exact same way I make it all the time but with a small piece of a banana.  I am out of fiber so have been missing this but must add it back especially when I have sugar, albeit natural sugar, in my shakes.  I was quiet tasty as always and very filling.  Have also still been leaving out the walnut (acts as my fat).  Holidays are hear and I want to avoid any unwanted pounds by cutting them on the normal things and adding them with so treats I may have.

Lunch – Whole can of Amys chunky tomato soup, gluten free organic. Sliced honey crisp apple.

Dinner – organic quinoa cooked in unsweetened coconut milk and turkey stock, garlic and red pepper/sea salt. Added raw shrimp, broccoli, carrots and scallions and more fresh garlic and steamed. Topped with a swirl of organic agave nectar. EXCELLENT!!!  2 glasses of Moscato.  They say a minimal to moderate drinker of spirits live longer than one who doesn’t. Something about the affect of alcohol on the heart in a positive way. Good news for me, LOL!

Note – Quinoa is really good for you.  I will post some stuff soon on what it is, where it comes from and why its good for you…stay tuned!
