Fitness & Nutrition, Wellness, , , , , , , , , , ,

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 4 of Detox!!!

Workout – None…I am fighting a cold and have no work energy.  As soon as I kick this I will be back!!!  I am looking forward to working on building muscle.

Breakfast – Boiled egg, small piece of ham cooked in coconut oil, tiny piece of beef sausage as well. Small apple.

Lunch – Broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in a bag.  Ate whole bag, seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, red pepper, onion powder. 5 baked wing drums. Handful of pecans, approx a serving size 1/4 cup.

Dinner – 2 wing drums and 2 carrot stalks.  I was not very hungry due to this cold but am trying to eat something anyway.

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.

Workout – None….Tomorrow is a completely different story. I will sweat tomorrow.  Time t get this crap out of me and get ready for a better much cleaner lifestyle.

Breakfast – skipped.  Well I had an apple but that should be called lunch.  Made spaghetti for dinner, had a bite or 3 of that while cooking.

Lunch – Spaghetti, whole grain pasta, ground sirloin, spicy Italian sausage, fresh garlic, tomatoes, green peppers, onions.

Dinner – left over Mexican.  Just a little bit left over form yesterday. 2 final alcoholic beverages. Maybe 3…the night is still young!!

January 1st 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Workout – none.  Gonna take these next 2 days off.  Monday morning I begin to get me fitness level back up to par.  I would not be surprised if I do not work out 7 days in a week.

Breakfast – Boiled egg, walnuts, honey crisp apple with sea salt.

Lunch – skipped

Dinner – Mexican food!!!  Chicken Quesadilla, beans, chips with queso, pico de gallo.  Last Mexican meal for the next 28 days or more.  Actually I may eat Mexican but my choices will be limited to all corn based, no wheat/flour tortilla, no cheese.  I can eat fajitas with corn wraps, no rice just pico and salsa and chips (a few).  I still must watch my caloric intake while on cleanse.

Champagne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We had our celebratory drinks Saturday instead of Friday on New Years Eve. 1 Margarita at the Mex spot.

Day 33

Fitness & Nutrition, Wellness, , , , , , ,

Workout – None!!  I wanted to run today since we reached a balmy 60+ degrees but time did not allow.  Work outs start back full speed next week. I am human like you 🙂 BUT I did by body analysis and its actually not that bad but there are some calculations I am not happy about so I will begin to work on improving my over all figures by stepping up my game.  Plus its a new year and we all have new year goals!

Breakfast – whey protein shake in strawberry flavor, scoop of flax, hemp milk, water.

Lunch – 4 baked wing drums, water.

Dinner – Red Lobster!!  Had the broiled seafood with wild rice, salad with oil and vinegar, broccoli and 1.5 biscuits. Oh and 1 top shelf margarita on the rocks with salt.  I am getting all the margaritas in that I want until Monday when the cleanse begins!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  I am not going to log my spirit intake.  I am sure it will be too much to try to remember after the fact.  At least I’m honest. I am sure it will involve some tequila of some sort.
