Yay Friday!!

8:00am - TEA. superfruit unity green tea to start this day.

9:00am - shake time! Breakfast of champions. I actually missed having my shake yesterday. Today we mixed with almond milk (8oz), and a couple ice cubes in the shaker cup. easy peasy, people are coming to look at the house today, and i don't want to deal with the blender. I've had enough fun dealing with trash / recycling / dishes this morning. Not to mention makeup and "real" clothes!! *shock and horror*

12:00pm - made a yoga margarita. YUM. 1 liter water, juice from 1 lime, 1 tsp salt. I used kosher salt from Penzey's.

1:00pm - i'm a bad human today. I regret it already. potstickers for lunch. my guts are already bubbling and growling lol. girls night tonight ... with baked ziti.

Posting Sunday - rebuilding Friday. I'm pretty sure I had an apple + cheese for an afternoon snack.  Dinner ended up being snacky-foods: prosciutto, manchego, crackers, mozzarella, and CHIPOTLE PESTO.  holy freaking I can't even describe how delicious it is. HEB carries it, kinda by the deli counter / cheeses depending on the store.

I did have about a liter of water while snacking at Megan's tonight, one small consolation prize.

Thursday

9:20am - breakfast today is an apple with a couple oz of cheese, and some goji berry white tea. I needed a bit of a change this morning, which means I need to have a shake mixed with water for a later snack today.

11:30am - snack - laughing cow "sundried tomato and mozzarella" cheese wedge with 1/2 serving of wheat thins

2:20pm - 6oz chicken breast with a little bit of guac

5:00pm - slice of processed cheeselike product. i was weak *hangs head in shame*

6:32pm - need a real snack. I'm pretty sure i'm a little behind on the day. may finish the other half serving of wheat thins and another wedge of cheese. that is not a terrible caloric value snack, surprisingly.

7:00pm - rioja. man, i need this. so delicious.

8:00pm - dinner - 4oz chicken, marinated & baked. half a bag of Bird's Eye brussels sprouts. however the hell they are spelled. jason had a couple more than me, but it was roughly half.

9:30pm - red table wine. yum. and water. i'm done for the night, save the rest of this glass, and water.

Wednesday

Dark skies made it challenging to get out of bed this morning.

7:23am - made coffee. Bad, I know. I DID cut back on the cream that went into my coffee.

8:55am - holy shitsnacks, I forgot I need breakfast. Threw together a shake in the blender with 1 C almond milk, 1 scoop Shakeology, and half a banana.  YUM!

10:52am - officially creating the daily blog post. I'm behind on my water consumption. Coffee and shake have been my morning liquids.

12:13pm - need a teeny snack, have to get test scripts reviewed before I feel OK with a lunch break :( - 2 cheese cubes.

3:04pm - back to back meetings along with doc review have kept me from lunch. and now i'm waiting on GD realtors. who were going to be here at 3pm. and another set at 3:45. Guess i'll shake up a shake for lunch. salad with albacore tuna sounded so good though :(

5:30pm - apple with a couple oz of cheese for snack. water.

10:00pm - holy crap I didn't have dinner!! small bowl of "phase 1 stew" for dinner, then water and stayed up till about 11:30 to ensure better digestion than going straight to bed.

Tuesday

Today began with a bang. I had a 9am dr appointment, so I thought I'd go simple and just shake my breakfast up with some water and a couple ice cubes. Shaker cup was in the actively-running dishwasher. Dammit. Really didn't want to get out the blender and make more shake than I needed (plan b). Plan C was scrambled eggs. All forks, in the dishwasher. Cool no problem, I've got plastic.

Cracked my eggs and scrambled them up with some Fox Point seasoning, then diced a little bit of ham and put it in the little skillet. Added some feta when the eggs were almost done, and voila! Delicious.

That was at 8:00am.

It is now 11:30 and I am still paying for the feta, lol. I love feta more than it loves me. It loves me better if I've been eating it somewhat regularly. C'est la vie.

Got through dr appointment and back to the house in time for snack!! I had a hardboiled egg, because it sounded like a good idea. That was about 10:45am. I'm hungry already :(

I liked this schedule so much better when my food was planned out for me!!

Oh. One more thing. I've gained 18lbs since 8/2010. That's gotta go. End of story.

11:49am - energy is waning.

12:30pm - lunch! blended up 8oz almond milk + 1 scoop shakeology + half a banana to the tune of about 280cal (estimating 50cal for the half-banana)

12:40pm - shake has an extra vitamin-y aftertaste today. blech.

1:36pm - so full.

3:15pm - starting to consider a snack, maybe in the next 45min or so.

3:35pm - sliced Fuji apple, with a little bit of aged cheddar to compliment the flavors

8:50pm - hard boiled egg. Dinner / soup is on the stove. Small bowl of that, and I should be done for the night.

10:00pm - small bowl of "Phase 1 Stew" and I'm done for the night! It was delicious :)

See, what happened was ...

We had fajitas last night.

Lots.

Of delicious wonderful fajitas.

and rice :(

8:37am - I am absolutely starving this morning. Time for a shake! And I believe I'm going to go with coffee as a base this morning, to make a mocha :) I hope this turns out as well as I think it will LOL

10:45am - snack time! Half an avocado, and half a tomato. Why? because i'm out of apples and my bananas are frozen LOL Poor planning on my part. They were tasty fruits though :)

12:00pm - I'm delaying lunch till at least 12:30... hopefully. My tummy thinks it is hungry. I am trying to convince it otherwise. Holy crap, i'm behind on water intake!!! Chug chug chug ...

1:04pm - chicken fajita meat in a soft taco for lunch. Which begs the question ... at what point do fajita and soft taco cross?  And are soft tacos really just small burritos?

6:04pm - crap! I completely spaced out on afternoon snack!! I'll throw some yogurt at my belly, then have dinner around 730 or 8. (and by "throw some yogurt at my belly" I mean "eat some yogurt")

7:12pm - yogurt isn't sticking around very well.

7:30pm - lunch meal all over again!

First real-world Sunday

Been awake about an hour, decided to shake up some Shakeology with almond milk this morning for breakfast, alongside my coffee. Now I just have to drink it lol.

It'll be an interesting day - we are going for a mountainbike ride around 1, so I need to have breakfast now, a bit of a snack around 1130, then I will carb-up for the ride at 1.

Oh - and I hate the scale. this morning it said i basically gained 5lbs yesterday. I know I didn't eat that much food! GRR!

3/28 oooooooops totally forgot to come back here for updates!!

Rebuilding Sunday -
12:00pm had a brisket sammich to pre-carb for the ride

1:05pm had a bottle of HEED, which is a simple carb mixture to give my body something to burn going into the ride

1:30pm - HIT THE TRAILS. Ride ended up being about 6.5 miles, in about 1hr 45min. Lots of cardio rest breaks, because I'm apparently out of shake LOL

3:45pm - meximart from Chuys. Crack sauce + chips. half order of steak fajitas. the crack sauce and chips were my downfall.

~8pm - chicken fajitas for dinner! pre-marinated cilantro lime chicken, grilled in the back yard. Fixins included sour cream, guac, rice, and shredded cheese

I might've also had a beer or 2.

I was bad on Sunday.

First real-world Saturday

Woke up around 8:30 today. Scale showed that I'm down almost 7lbs from Monday, woohoo!

9:45am - Breakfast was a chopped brisket/potato/egg taco from Rudy's - we were out running errands.

12:00pm - snack/lunch was the other brisket/potato/egg taco

I was absolutely stuffed, so I didn't eat around 2.

3:30pm rolled around, time for more food! had not quite half of my chinese food leftovers (about 1/3 of the original dish)

6:00pm - time for a snack! Had the hungries. I peeled a hardboiled egg and called it snack :)  dinner should be ready around 7-730.

Doing pretty alright on water, i'm a little behind my consumption during the cleanse, but i'm doing pretty alright. I have discovered that I don't really care a lot for the water-enhancer that I was using, it is raspberry lemonade flavor. that's the first time i've actually dumped a liter of water out. I just really had no desire for the taste!  I made up some raspberry lemon mate' iced tea instead, YUM.
