I ran 20 mins without stopping woohoo!

I completed C25K Week 5 Day 3 (1.37 miles), in 00:20:00, pace 14:38 min/mile, with @RunDouble http://rndb.co/j1qp

what you said to me

on the phone yesterday struck me. This cleanse is showing you that you would rather work out more and eat what you want in moderation than go without so many foods. Just wanted to record that, for both of us:)

Day 9

Ok it is getting easier, however I do still feel kind of weak and I just want to feel strong!

I have also tuned into what I like and don't like in smoothies. I really don't like celery, it creates a texture that I don't appreciate. I also don't like too much banana. When it starts to taste like banana and kale... Not so delicious to me. 

One other note, I broke down and weighed myself yesterday and I have lost 6 lbs. but to be fair I font feel any lighter and my pants dont fit any different. I honestly don't care too much about the number on the scale. for real.  I do care about the measurement around waist and hips!

Day 2

Breakfast today was from Dr. Furhman.Modified 1 cup frozen blueberries, I sliced banana, handful of ground.almonds 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup almond milk. Heated all on the stovetop till hot. It was pretty yummy and I feel like I got a nutrient rich meal!

Day 1 of my kind off cleanse..

Yesterday I was going through the 7 day program by Dr. Joel Furhman, it looked good but there were SO many ingredients needed in the middle of my grocery budget that I decided to just do my own version of a watch what I eat 7 days. Would you like to know what I ate today? This morning I had half a cantalope, two oranges and 4 strawberries with flax seed on them. Lunch was 3 celery sticks with Peanut butter..next time, I'll have a smaller portion of the PB because it felt too heavy in my belly. When Arjun got home I ate maybe 2 cups of white rice with spinach n tofu. For dinner I had a small portion of spaghetti with pesto sauce. I ate carbs too late in the day and they were all refined..I was starving again at 10 but I have got myself a cup of raspberry zinger tea instead..Tomorrow, I'll do better. More protein, more veges.

Day 7

Dirt smoothie for breakfast. Not as bad as it looks :)

Made it through last night... Big fundraiser at fondue restaurant for preschool. I pretty much stayed w cleanse except about 1 tablespoon of chocolate. Pretty proud of myself.  (Those last few pounds better melt off!)

Day 5

Feeling a tiny bit better but still not very energetic. Have not worked out in a week though.   Made Swiss chard roll ups. Inside is broccoli, carrots, cabbage , hummus, avocado and sunflower seed dressing. Actually quite delish. :)

Afternoon snack

Organic carrots, cucumbers and celery with hummus and a sunflower seed carrot ginger dip. 

Had chia seed almond pudding for breakfast. It was pretty good but not very pretty to take a photo of!

Last night took boys to neighborhood party and everyone got ice cream.  I resisted!  (Pat on the back)
