Day 10 of Detox!!!!  Day 3 of Winter Storm 2011. This is a pitiful little storm that no one can seem to dig us out of, my fellow Clevelanders would be offended!

Workout – NONE.  One day this workout train is going to make a pit stop here and pick me up. The winter weather blues is REAL!  Thank GOD for the detox.  Clean eating will see me through, LOL.

Breakfast – Skipped it and went straight to lunch.

Lunch – Vegan protein shake…Berry kind that I always make.  Its my go-to meal!  Get used to it. I am attempting to venture out today and see how the roads are…wish me luck!

Dinner – Wild Alaskan Cod cooked on top of stove in coconut oil, 1/2 sweet potato, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower steamed.

Day 9 of Detox!! Day 2 of the Winter Storm 2011, or some crap like that the news is tagging it! This is a joke of a storm and this silly city has not been able to get the roads moving like they should have.  They have been talking about this storm for a week prior and still caught off guard and has major business closed? Ridiculous!

Workout – Kick boxing Class was tonight. Not m1any takers to participate, people are afraid of the snow and ice around here.  I am not saying I am able to navigate it better just am not afraid of it!

Breakfast – Fried egg with sea salt and pepper.  Piece if turkey breast sliced on top. Green apple, very small.

Lunch – skipped it!!  Here I go with this mess again….my metabolism is not slow but this will surely slow it down!!

Dinner – Lettuce wraps with romaine lettuce and meat sauce from spaghetti. Half of a cucumber and sliced Roma tomato, with olive oil and cider vinegar, sea salt and pepper. A few almonds and raisins.

Day 8 of Detox!! So Mother Nature sent us an ice and snow storm.  Make is very difficult to travel around here in this kind of weather. Most people do not know how to drive and the others that know how to get wrapped up with the ones that don’t.  I just stay at home on days like this to avoid mess.

Workout – None…weather got me down.  And the cold. But I am feeling better, just trapped in the crib dealing with Ole Man Snow.

Breakfast – Skipped it. Eating have been WAY OFF.  Especially to be detox-ing. I have not had any inflammatory foods just no appetite.  I have decided to wipe the slate clean and start a new!  What I have ingested has been phenomenal.  I am probably losing weight, not that I am trying to either!

Lunch – Cabbage with carrots and baked chicken wings. Water and detox tea….this meal was much better the the last few attempts at a meal I had!

Dinner – Not hungry but had almonds and a few raisins. Raisins have a ton of sugar, if you are trying to lose weight stay away from them! If you are just cleansing for wellness and to get rid of the old to make room for new clean supper-foods, then it is OK.  dried fruit in general is very sweet. When it dries out its sugar content/glycemic index rises. I had a little protein to slow down any sugar spike from the raisins.  It was lean turkey breast sliced.  No preservatives, hormones or antibiotics.

Day 7 of detox!! Today seems pretty normal for me. Not feeling like I am missing anything by being on the 28 days to Health cleanse.

Workout – None again but I am feeling much better. Still stuffy and congested but chest is clearing and is head.

Breakfast – Old faithful again.  I am waiting to get some more products so I can make some chocolate shakes in the morning and at night once the mandatory 2 shakes per day starts.

Lunch – This was actually my dinner…I did my normal Sunday cooking.  Baked chicken wings, brown rice cooked in turkey stock, sauteed cabbage and carrots in evoo, red pepper flakes, garlic, braggs aminos, sea salt.

Dinner – to be determined.  I am full and my skip it!  Or have a few almonds and a small green apple.

Day 6 of Detox!!!  Its a Saturday today.  I feel like I have been doing this for a while but I have not.  For some reason its much easier this go. Perhaps because I really embrace it and and understand the well being and good out of this kind of this kind of sacrifice. It is worth it though, very much so.  I am looking forward to the days to come.

Workout – now if I could just get my cold licked and get my butt on the Tread Climber I will be happy! Still recovering but I am hoping for a better next week.  Oh and I am buying an ab glider…will let know how this works out.

Breakfast – SHAKE!! Vegan, berry – same as usual.  One day I am going to surprise you with a new kind of shake…stay tuned.

Lunch – Baked wing drums, 5 and 2 carrots.

Dinner – Salad with cider vinegar and oil, 2 ounces chicken breast and 1/4 cup smoked bacon. 1/4 cup hummus with sliced grilled squash, zucchini, red peppers and eggplant (2 sliced of each).

Continue to consume my water, tea intake.

Day 3 of Detox!!!! I am feeling great….have a little bit of a headache but that is to be expected. Even though I have done this a bunch I still have to get my footing. I feel very light and its only day 3.  My water and green/herb/detox tea consumption is up which is partially why I feel lighter.

Workout – Zumba!!!  High energy so I was able to have a recovery shake.

Breakfast – Protein shake, vegan flax coconut milk, 6 strawberries, a few mixed berries, water.

Lunch – 2 cups collard greens, piece of turkey meat about 3 ounces and a small apple.

Dinner – tomato meat sauce with out the noodles about 1/2 to 3/4 cup.  Ideally this should have been on a romaine lettuce making lettuce wraps or or steamed cabbage.  I have some left and this is how I will eat the rest so I am sure to have all the important foods for proper nutrients.

Good day over all…was quite busy due to my detox class in the evening so I had just a little time to eat today.

Day 37

Day 2 of detox!! Today was a better day…it was not as busy so I was able to be sure I made time for my meals.

Workout – Kick boxing class…high energy.  If it was not so late I would have gotten a recovery meal because of the level of intensity but its too late for more food.

Breakfast – Vegan protein shake, all the ingredients I normally use but light on the flax seeds.  flax is considered a healthy fat so while I I need this I want to go easy this month on the fat I add to my diet since it is fat that I want to lose and muscle I want to gain. I am also cutting out the walnuts in my shake for a while unless I know it will be longer in between mean and I need something more to satiate me.

Lunch – Bowl of collard greens cooked in smoked turkey.  A little of the turkey meat for protein and meat sauce from spaghetti without the noodle.  *Be careful with tomato sauce, there can be a ton of sugar in it.*

Dinner – Vegan protein shake CHOCOLATE!!!  MMMMM, yum. Tablespoon of almond butter and some cacao nibs. Very chocolate-y.  Cacao nibs is considered my fat, I added organic psyllium husk for fiber. Used 1/4 cup of coconut milk or less as well which is also a fat.  This will ensure I am not hungry through the  night. Cup of berry detox tea. Paleogreens in water.
