Day 4
Workout – NONE. Thursday is my off day. I considered it yesterday but today was a totally different story!
Breakfast – 1 boiled egg and 1 sausage patty cooked in walnut oil, a sliced honey crisp apple sprinkled with sea salt. 10 oz Cup of brewed green and herb tea. Paleogreens in 18 oz of water. Another 12 oz of water.
Lunch – Small salad with baby lettuce and romaine, carrots, cukes, tomatoes, green onions, broccoli and 1/8 cup walnuts with a squirt of braggs, 2 tblspn italian dressing, sea salt just a dash, 3 baked lemon pepper drummettes, medium green apples sliced with a dash of sea salt. 16 oz water.
Dinner – 3/4 average sized cucumber sliced, cherry tomatoes sliced, small cooked shrimp (a bunch and didn’t count but not a pound) seasoned with garlic, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, braggs amino acid, sea salt, more pepper, 2 tblspn of italian dressing. 5 bbq rice chips (gluten free). 18 oz water with Paleogreens. *Graceful Indulgence TIP* I start my day and end it with powdered greens. They are full of fiber and provide you additional servings of vegetables for the day. They also help curb appetite which allows you to make better eating decisions and not end up starving before a meal.
Dessert – I really do not eat dessert but I have to call this something! Dark chocolate covered raisins, more than a serving size but less than over doing it. The ingredients in these are not bad at all believe it or not. Dark chocolate is good for you, especially if its not broken down with sugar and a ton of other crap you can not pronounce! Not a bad treat. The Trader Joe’s brand is excellent in taste and ingredients.
Nightcap tonight. Skinny Margarita. I use – ice tequila (1800 today), 0 calorie Sierra Mist, lemon and lime juice, splash of roses lime juice, half shot or less of orange liquor (grand marnier & triple sec). This has 150 calories or less depending upon the amount of liqueur you are using. My person recipe is right at 150 because I use the max liquor at least 2 oz sometime 3! 🙂
Day 3
Busy day today…made some great headway on my business venture by landing another location! I don’t want to be premature but this thing just may be big! Announcement soon….
Workout – Zumba class, 1 hour – I was late so 50 minutes for me, LOL. This class is great though especially for a newbie, MOVE YOUR HIPS!
Breakfast – 3/4 of 22 oz Vegan protein shake, 20 fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup mixed berries, 5 frozen strawberries, scoop of fiber, 1/4 cup shopped walnuts, tablespoon flax seeds, 1/4 cup coconut milk, cup of filtered water. Protein powder has chia seeds and is made pea, rice and hemp protein. 16 oz cup of brewed herb tea (cant remember what flavor), 18 0z cup water with 1/2 tablespoon of powered greens (Paleo).
Lunch – 12 oz hot chocolate made with all natural ingredients, raw cashews, palm sugar, agave (just a smidgen), cacao nibs, macha power, hot water, organic vanilla, coconut oil (a smidgen). I was made fresh and was AWESOME! Remainder of the protein shake from earlier/breakfast, 1/2 baked chicken breast, 24 oz water.
Dinner – Mexican!! Took it easy today considering the damage I usually do. 3 fish tacos made on corn tortilla (no gluten), tilapia, pico de gallo made fresh (white onions, lettuce tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro), corn chips and fresh salsa that was hella spicy (I lost count but didn’t to too bad actually and some queso. I didn’t order queso and otherwise would have stayed away tonight but some one else got therefore I partook in a bit; I was doing great until this part!! 1/2 tablespoon Paleogreens in 18 oz water. Aaannnd the BIG finish…1 jumbo house margarita on the rocks with salt at the Mex spot AND two 1800 silver on the rocks w/ splash of lime juice and 1/2 rim salt at another spot. You only live once, learn to GRACEFULLY INDULGE!!
HONESTY and full disclosure is my policy. Guess I could put in a work out tomorrow, I usually take Thursdays off! Check me out tomorrow to see what happens; my intentions will be good, my actual outcome I am not so sure about but stay tuned….
