Workout – Off day…

Breakfast – Vegan protein shake, 5 frozen strawberries, 18 fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup mixed berries, tablespoon flax, heaping scoop vegan protein powder, coconut milk 1/4 cup, cup or so of filtered water, 1/4 or less of a banana. Removed extra fat from shakes for a while.  I will be detoxing at the beginning of the year and will need to add it in because I will have 2 sometimes 3 liquid meals at some point for several days in a row and the fat is key to starting full especially for some one who exercises regularly.

Lunch – 2 big cups of Collard greens, smoked turkey that the greens were cooked in, 1/2 pork chop with hot sauce.

Dinner – I was not hungry at all because I ate lunch late but managed to get something down.  Had an individual size bag of carrots and a sliced medium sized honey crisp apple about an hour before bed just so I did not skip a meal.

Workout – 45 minutes on tread climber, sit ups on ball, thrusts, free weights, push ups, dips.

Breakfast – whey protein with 1/4 cup cocnut milk, 1 cup filtered water, 1 tablespoon organic ground flax seeds. 20 oz water with greens.

Lunch – Doritos about 2-3 serving sizes. 1/2 cup pecans and tablespoon of raisins. UGH!  Not a good look for lunch but it is what it is. This should not be considered a balanced meal!

Dinner – Sauteed cabbage and carrots in olive oil approx 2 tablespoons, teaspoon coconut oil, red pepper flakes, fresh garlic, sea salt, tablespoon Bragg amino acids. 1 Baked pork chop seasoned with black pepper and sea salt, garlic powder and Mrs Dash.  Cup of lemon herb and detox tea. Plenty of water all day today.

FYI, the weekends are really hard for me to maintain the best diet regimen. I try to practice what is called the 80/10/10 rule in intelligent eating. 80% clean whole foods, all food groups including lean protein (preferably conscience meat/eggs, cage free, range free, grass fed), non starchy vegetables (broccoli, greens, cabbage, lettuce), complex carbs (quinoa/brown rice/sweet potato/fruits low in triglycerides, low on glycemic index – berries, green apples), and healthy fat (almonds, walnuts, coconut oil/milk, olive oil). Organic is best. 10% combination of whole clean foods and not so whole and clean. 10% whatever I want or crave.  Eating a balance of food groups consistently usually takes all of my cravings away this is why I clean my system out 3 times per year with a detox and weight loss cleanse for 28-30 days straight that is gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and soy free.

Workout – none. Having an issue with my left hip think its a stress fracture that I need to rest. Will do something tomorrow even if just jump rope and lift weights.

Lunch – turkey and harvarti cheese with spicy mustard no bread and some doritos. tablespoon of raisins.
Dinner – leftover asian spring rolls mozzarella sticks. Teaspoon of raisins for dessert.
