Day 5- Cleanse Journal

Day 5-
I am approaching the end of the first week and in reflection this week has not been to hard. What I did find surprising was my mind. My mind wandered often while I was out running errands. What was the biggest surprise for me was-  how easy it was to think about food products when I wasn't even hungry.  By that I mean... just seeing a sample out at Cosco's normally we don't think twice about taking in this bite-size morsel into our bodies. Those samples for the most part are processed foods. Doing this cleanse, I was mindful and avoided those samples.

Breakfast:   Smoothie was a simple: SP-Complete mix (2 scoops), Rice milk, Kale, 1/2 cup of 3 berry mix (Blue berries, blackberries, and rasberries).

* This Detox, does allow for Stevia, but I haven't had any reason to use it yet.

Dinner  1/2-cup of Lentils, and 1/2 cup of Brown rice. Steamed Broccoli (microwave bag full)

Mental Check in:  No fog and still feeling strong mentally.  

Physical Check in: 
Heel was not as painful after treatment.

Water:  maintaining the water intake. Prob a little less than yesterday. 4-5 32 oz cups.

* Supplements for this detox are being taken inbetween the meals and or shakes. 
Days 1-7, are explained on this first page of my detox page.

Day -4 Smooth Transition

DAY-4
Well today I woke up early thanks to Rex, my older dog. Since he got me up so early I found myself hungry early today. So I almost started my day off with lentils and brown-rice, but I talked myself out of it & stuck to the shake. I took my supplements first though and then made a smoothie.

Breakfast:   Smoothie was a simple: SP-Complete mix (2 scoops), 1/2 banana, H20, frozen Pineapples (6 chucks),  frozen peaches (5 slices), and a big handful of Kale. It was a green smoothie, but it wasn't to sweet from fruit, or to bitter from the Kale. I don't want anyone from being discouraged from trying the green in their drinks. 
* This Detox, does allow for Stevia, but I haven't had any reason to use it yet.

Smoothie # 2- I used Rice milk,  SP- complete mix (2 scoops) and a 3 berry frozen fruit mix. (Blackberry, rasberry, and blue berry), 1/2 banana, Handful of spinach & Ice. This was a very berry tasting and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot.

Dinner  1/2-cup of Lentils, and 1/2 cup of Brown rice. Steamed Zuccini and yellow squash, cabbage, kale, carrots and onions on top of Lentils and rice. ( I am finishing the big batch I made a day ago.)

Mental Check in:  I can't believe it is day 4 and I didn't experience a HA. I totally expected one & I am happy to report- this has been a very easy start to this week of changing my diet.


Physical Check in:  Other than a heel ache from jogging- feeling okay. I had fellow Acupuncturist poke some needles in me today- to help me get past this ache. Clearly my jogging is not that easy on my feet. Hoping to drop some pounds during this 21 days.

Water:  200 oz LOTS!
Frequent bathroom stops due to intake of H20.

* Supplements for this detox are being taken inbetween the meals and or shakes.

Day 3- I expected the worst of it.

Day 3- 
    Previously when I did a Juice fast, my 2nd, 3rd and 4th days had been the worst, dealing with a headache and feeling fatigued. I don't have anything to complain about with this one. I am truly surprised. I have energy and I haven't had any ill-effects. :-)

Breakfast:  Shake at  10 am. I mixed it with water and 1/2 banana (frozen), blue berries (frozen). Today's shake more flavor. It was so cold it took me a while to drink. Same as yesterday minus the cacao powder. ( Still experiementing)

Snack:  "Red Dawn" Juice from whole foods. (Beets, Spinach, and Carrots) + 1 oz Wheat grass added to juice. (ordered 32 oz ) but I split this into two servings. Noon, and PM, after my JD salad.

Lunch:  1-cup of Lentils, and 1/2 cup of Brown rice. Steamed Zuccini and yellow squash, cabbage, kale, carrots and onions on top of Lentils and rice.

Dinner: Salad at Jason Deli. I had to skip out on all the "extras" but I used Olive oil and lemon on salad. Stuck to the veggies on this one. No dairy, or crackers. Those little muffins JD offers were temping, I will admit. I also had about 6 apple slices that were offered at the salad bar.

Mental Check in:  Feeling good- but surprised I have no headache or feeling run down.

Physical Check in:  Still not regretting this task. Feeling good. No aches!

Water: Still drinking a lot, it is important to flush. I also drank a juice today (32oz) Listed above.

Breakfast:  Shake at 9am. I mixed it with water and 1/2 banana (frozen), blue berries (frozen) little bit more ice, Cocao powder (1 tsp). Today's shake more flavor. It was so cold it took me a while to drink.

Snack: Medium apple - (had after my jog)

Lunch:  1-cup of Lentils, and 1/2 cup of Brown rice. Steamed Zuccini and yellow squash, cabbage, kale, carrots and onions on top of Lentils and rice.

Dinner: (planning) haven't had dinner yet- Steamed veggies and 1/2 cup brown rice. I am going out to dinner, so if this changes, i'll update later.  If this doesn't happen, 2nd option is a salad.

Exercise:  Jogged two miles so far today. TGIF!

Mental Check in:  Feeling good

Physical Check in: Feeling pretty normal overall-  Maybe feeling a little bloated, but that is a lot of fiber and I kind of expected it.

Water: Drinking A LOT today.  I have had about 128 oz. so far & will have some tonight for dinner.  4-32 oz cups full thus far.

I will try to get my 2nd shake in before I go to bed. I normally stay up a little later on Friday's. I will see how this evening goes.

1/3/2013

0 Comments

 
Breakfast:  Had a late start today but I my Shake at 11am. I mixed it only with water and 1/2 banana and ice. It wasn't very flavorful, but it wasn't awful either. It is kind of just plain. Well at least this one was. I think I had too much water mixed in. (?) Learning as I go..

Lunch: Medium apple, 1-cup of Lentils, and 1/2 cup of Brown rice. Steamed Zuccini and yellow squash, and some portabella mushrooms (very filling)

Dinner: 1/2 cup of Lentils and 1/2 cup brown rice and same veggie mix I fixed earlier. This was a smaller portion.

Learning that I need to drink more water, today I've done okay but most definiantly need more.

Exercise: I got on treadmill and did 2.25 miles, not much but it was something. Also did some bicep, chest and Ab exercises too. (20 minutes)

Mental Check in: Feeling really good about the decision and future change to come.
Day 1 not so bad, but plan on starting day 2 earlier & better prepared.

Physical Check in: No Headaches, or body aches- nothing to report today. Feel pretty normal.

* note* I am going to put my crock-pot to use and make some yummy veggie soup tomorrow. Easy to make & it will be ready to have when I am hungry. Can Steam some brown rice on the on the side, if soup isn't enough. (preparing)
