HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!
Last night was HARD, and was the first night of my detox program. I caved in at dinner and added chicken to my vegetable medley and had a brownie as well.
Today is going okay so far...then again its only 11:38 am, so we'll see how the rest of the day goes.
This morning I woke up and went for a well-deserved run, haven't gone running in 2 weeks (crazy right?). I also rode my bike to work. This is what my hrm said after my run:
After my run, I took a well deserved shower and made my morning fruit and vegetable smoothie. I went to the store yesterday and bought some fresh kale, carrots, and cucumbers. And I threw a medley of fruits and vegetables together to make my morning smoothie.
Pictured above I have:
1. A stalk of kale
2. A cup of fresh spinach leaves
3. A serving of baby carrots
4. 7 slices of cucumber
5. About a cup of grapes
6. 1 green apple
7. A banana
8. 1/2 cup of strawberry greek yogurt
9. 1 cup of silk pure almond milk.
I blended them all together and added crushed ice to the mix as well as saw raw lemon juice to stabilize the bitterness of the kale.
All together I had about 45 oz of the mixture and about a 411 calorie high protein, high fiber, high potassium, high micro-nutrient breakfast.
After drinking my mixture its almost like I can feel my body adjusting and de-toxifying (it might be just my mind playing tricks on me :)). I feel good, energized and HEALTHY. Psychologically, I feel IN CONTROL.
From yesterday to today I've lost 2 lbs. Which is probably just water weight being lost, and I feel that I'm on the path to being back in control of my weight and getting rid of this weight once and for all.
I am also on the path to a healthy cardiovascular system, healthy body, and a healthy mind. I truly believe that when you EAT BETTER, you FEEL BETTER...Although I know that it will take me a while to get adjusted to this detox-system, I hope that I will stick with it.
My Lunch today is a salad infused with chicken tenderloins, cucumbers, tomatoes, and spinach and lettuce and lemon juice and italian cheese. I also added a sweet potato to the salad mixture.
Dinner will be another vegetable and fruit smoothie.
HAPPY HUMPDAY!
