So far I think things are going pretty well. Yesterday I prepped my drinks for today and my lunch and dinner. I was so excited I kept waking up all night thinking about it. I finally got up about 5 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off.
4:50am: I went to the kitchen and tossed together my morning elixir. I debated prepping it the night before but decided it would be easy enough to make in the morning. It actually didn't taste bad! I drank it down and then went off to get myself and the kids ready for the day.
5:50am After we were all ready and before heading out the door I ate some banana chia pudding. I had made it the day before and it was perfect! I am used to having a greek yogurt in the morning so this was a perfect replacement. Yumm!!
I had to pack a bag to carry all my stuff. In it are my lunch, afternoon snack, cranberry flush drink, electrolyte drink, morning smoothie, AND after workout protein drink.
Here is my electrolyte drink. It is a big just of 8 cups of water, some juiced lemons, salt, and honey. I was disappointed upon drinking it that it didn't taste very good at all!! I guess sea salt is better than table salt and to use a little less than called for. Also, I think my cheap honey isn't helping. Fingers crossed tomorrow is better. I have added some water to make it more tolerable.
I didn't get a pic of my post workout protein drink. It consisted of coconut water, juice from 2 green apples I juiced myself, and hemp protein. I learned that hemp protein does not "dissolve" in liquid. It didn't' taste bad but was very grainy. I think I am going to see how much the Vega recovery drink is and hope it is affordable. The hemp protein I can use in my smoothies.
9:15am: I had my morning smoothie. Some banana, berries, greens, rice milk, and added Spirulina. It was yummy!!!
Lunch is an orange arugula salad. I didn't want it to get soggy before I ate it so I prepped it with the avocado whole and the orange together. Just pulled the orange apart and cut up the avocado. Oh, and the little container is the dressing. It was delicious! I also sprinkled on some Spirulina for added protein.
So far I am staying full. Every time I turn around it is time to eat again. Snack time!
2:00pm: Cranberry flush. This was kinda sour and overpowering but also took care of my sweet tooth. *shrug* I actually liked it. LOL! Feeling happy.
2:30pm: Deliciously Detoxing Pesto Dip and veggies. I really didn't care for the dip. It was quite strong. I was bummed about the dip but just mostly ate the veggies.
About 1/2 hour after eating snack my legs broke out in hives. I don't know if it was dry skin, something I ate or otherwise. I will have to pay attention to see if it happens again. :(
Dijon corn salad. I did end up adding some chicken to this. Just 1/2 grilled breast. In the pic it looks like a lot of corn and not so much spinach and arugula but that is because I forgot to take the pic and started eating it. Plus T kept stealing all my arugula. I think he really liked it. :) I did as well and I am still very happy with the detox. I also made some more of the smoothie from this morning but cut back on the berries and added extra greens. I needed a sweet fix and it was perfect. The kids loved it too, especially Savannah.
Overall everything is going well. Now off I go to prep for tomorrow. :)
