Breakfast – Liquid meal….protein shake.

Lunch – Skipped

Dinner – Collard greens and okra a big bowl!

Day 80

Workout – Zumba.  Class was great!!  Learned a new routine, always challenging!  I bet I will be a little sore tomorrow. Love it when you can work out and not feel like you are. Ladies, please try Zumba and belly dancing!!

Breakfast – Same ole’ same ole’. Vegan protein shake, strawberries, flax seeds, hemp seeds, hemp milk, fiber water. Blend!

Lunch – leftovers: quinoa, broccoli and shrimp.

Dinner – Small green apple, medium bowl of my homemade chili!! UMMMMMM good.

Day 79

I am trying my best not to fall off keeping this food journal.  I am behind so am trying to catch it up by digging in the crates of my mind to remember what the hell I ate. Bare with me!

Workout – Kick boxing class.  I kinda lallygagged around today but I worked a tiny sweat. Any sweat is better than none!

Breakfast – Protein shake. Vegan…you know the drill.

Lunch – HUGE salad. Romaine and spinach, olives,  Roma tomatoes, cucumbers, red, yellow and green peppers, red onions and green onions, radishes. Cider vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, bragg amino. Green apple and an orange.  BIG lunch today.

Dinner – I couldn’t eat all my salad so I finished it for dinner. Also made quinoa, broccoli and shrimp. You should ask me for the recipe!

Day 78

I have been keeping a journal of my eating habits for 78 days! Thats a big deal for someone who jumps all over the place and has a hard time finishing something she starts. I must pat myself on the back! Oh and HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY!!!!

Workout – Off Day…but its very tempting. I have been asking for this kind of weather so I can get my butt outside and run more. Its here and what do I do with it, slack. LOL.

Breakfast – Vegan protein shake….no detox but this is my ritual no regular days as well. I only detox 2-3 times per year but drink my breakfast almost everyday. I try my best to have inflammatory foods rarely, maybe 10-20% of my meals. Everything is is clean. My digestive system just does much better. And my skin. And my sinuses.

Lunch – orange with a little sea salt. Can of Amy’s split pea soup and 3 baked wing drums.

Dinner – 1/2 cucumber, 2 Roma tomatoes with cider vinegar, sea salt, olive oil and bragg amino. Roasted turkey deli meat.  You know the good kind, the expense kind!  LOL Capped the night ff with some almonds and raisins.

Finally had that alcoholic beverage! You know it was a margarita heavy on the tequila! One word – EXCELLENT.

Day 77

Detox is OVER!!  I lasted for 41 full days, no alcohol. Yippee. It was not as bad as one might think. I feel really good too. I will have a celebratory cocktail for sure.

Workout – 3 plus miles and 100 push-ups. What a beautiful day it was today. I hope it was where you are!

Breakfast – boiled egg, sliced honey crisp apple.

Lunch – 2 handfuls of rice chips, a couple sweet potato chips  and a few pieces of roasted turkey deli meat.  No nitrates, preservatives, antibiotic, additives or gluten.

Dinner – Chili, homemade and GREAT! Had a 2nd helping :o.  Some nuts and raisins for dessert.

Day 76

Detox day 41/28.  Boom last day. Piece of cake.

Workout – Zilch – was nice out too.  Tomorrow will be nicer.

Breakfast – Boiled egg, 2 sausage links, tiny salad.

Lunch – few forks of my famous chili, Lol and some sweet potato chips.

Dinner – California Pizza Kitchen, Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. Balsamic dressing on the side, used oil and vinegar. Few corn chips with spinach dip (do not think this was cleanse worthy but hell its my last day!) POW.

Day 74

Day 39/26 of detox….today is Thursday February 10th and I am two  days away from be done. Just in time for the weekend. Good news (for me that is) I decreased my body fat by 2.2% in the last 39 days and lost 5 pounds. I would have lost more if I had been on my regular warm weather regimen. I was not trying to lose weight but its unavoidable while detoxing, its a side effect of cleansing. I ONLY care about body fat % and fat mass, not pounds.

Workout – Off day….but I washed my hair and that is a work out by itself!!

Breakfast – Blackberry shake

Lunch – Small portion of quinoa, shrimp and broccoli.  2 baked wing drums randomly in the work fridge, a peach and a few bites of a fruit cup I had.  HUNGRY today.

Dinner – A few walnuts, medium cucumber, 5 large cooked shrimp, cider vinegar and olive oil. 2 baked wing drums,

Day 73

Day 38/25….3 more days and its bottoms up. 😉

Workout – ZUMBA!!  Class was packed today. Good times.

Breakfast – back to old faithful.  Ok confession…I only used the peach because it was going bad and I did not want to waste it. BUT the chocolate is on the horizon.  Prefer it at night.

Lunch – 3/4 of a Protein shake.  I teach a nutrition class on Wednesdays so I do the best I can with the eating, that all one could ask!

Dinner – 1/4 of a Protein shake and some quinoa, shrimp and broccoli.  A really small portion. Tiny.

Day 72

Day 37/24…..and the countdown continues.

Workout – Kick boxing class.  Not too crowded today so I was able to focus on the students more. They hate it when I am not busy, they can’t cheat!

Breakfast – SURPRISE…I had a peach vegan protein shake!! I told you I would switch it up on your one day, LOL. Same stuff in the shake except the fruit. I finally got my chocolate protein in so I will be able to make a chocolate delight!

Lunch – I forgot my lunch today soooo I had to pick something up.  Decided on a medium salad from Publix, romaine, olives, Roma tomatoes, bragg amino, cider vinegar and olive oil. For protein I had baked lemon pepper wings from the hot foods side of deli. They are the dry kind not with all the fattening and inflammatory sauce, prepared like the Mardi Gras wings that I love. I could actually eat chicken everyday. Prefer free range chicken that is fed grass! You should too.  EAT ORGANIC as often as possible. Disclaimer: I like the kind with sauce too! Just not while on a cleanse and in moderation.

Dinner – A small serving of cabbage, serving size of some almonds and raisins…here I go wit this crap again. Oh and my detox drink.  Almost over.

Day 71

Day 36/23 of detox.  Just as a reminder, I screwed up my detox so I started over.  I am using both days on my log because I kept eating clean but not on the correct schedule so I want to keep track of how long I did it right and how long I was on it altogether. 5 days to go!! Looking forward to that tequila.

Workout – Off Day

Breakfast – Shake——-you know the drill! Vegan protein shake.

Lunch – large honey crisp apple, cleanse drink with fiber.  My cleanse drink has protein in it so I’m good!

Dinner – half cucumber cider vinegar olive oil bragg and 3 baked Mardi Gras wing drums.
