It's been a bit of a long day. My grandmother isn't doing well and it seems just a matter of time before she's with us no longer. So today after work I drove home to hang out with her for a couple of hours and give her some sweet hugs and kisses. Then drove back and just got home. Food and weight loss hasn't been the driving force on my mind today to say the least, but I still managed to eat pretty well aside from a brief over indulgence of organic sweet potato chips. No great stories today or new recipes, so i won't get into too much detail today, just a quick list.

Day 3 Detox
Today was probably the best day thus far. I'm finally starting to feel a bit better. Those first couple of days you just feel a bit weak without those extra carbs and proteins. All in all it was a good day. I was concerned about getting sick again after an intense workout so before boot camp today I did have a little bit of bread. I'm hoping by this coming Monday that won't be necessary and I can deal without cheating a bit! It was good I must admit, the bread I mean. This is the part of the detox where all of your dreams consist of cheeseburgers, pizza, and meat in any form or fashion. I don't really crave the sugar so much, the fruit helps with that, but the carbs and the meat I am certainly missing! Only 7 more days and we can eat some fish and chicken! We're rather pumped!
I do have one new recipe and a new organic soup I found, I hope you enjoy!
Breakfast:
Protein Smoothie - same as usual
Total: 276 calories
Lunch:
Muir Glen Organic Tomato & Basil Soup - 1 can
1/2 cup of carrots
Total: 236 calories
Snack:
1 piece of bread
Total: 80 calories
Dinner:
Lemon Basil Pasta with Spinach
1 package of brown rice fettuccine
3 cups of fresh spinach
10-15 leaves of basil, torn in small pieces
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
1 tsp of minced garlic, dried
2 Tbl of olive oil
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta with instructions on package. Rinse with cold water. Saute spinach with 1 tsp of olive oil and juice of 1/2 lemon. Add spinach, basil, garlic, and olive oil to pasta. Then squeeze in remaining lemon juice. Stir. Then add Parmesan last. Makes 5-6 servings. 3/4 cup per serving: 253 calories
Asparagus bakes with olive oil, salt, and pepper (see previous recipe)
1/2 bundle: 25 calories
1 Mango: 140 calories
Total: 418 calories
Exercise:
I thought briefly I was going to get out of exercising today. We had professional development meetings today and were spread out around town. At 4:30 when we normally start it was myself and the instructor with no one else in sight. We decided to give them another 10 minutes and though a good portion didn't show, we had enough for a class. We did some crazy stations today and my legs are killing me! Lots of squats and lunges and a bit of killer abs. Overall it was good and luckily I don't feel awful after this one! It's so hard to figure out the calorie burn on this since we switch exercises frequently and do many exercises that are not in a system for calories. Today was a bit lighter and I'm guessing based on some calculations closer to 327 calories burned. I could easily be off by a 100 or more, but I'd rather estimate lower than higher!

Day 2 of Detox
Today went a bit better than yesterday. I didn't workout today, which most likely helped a bit in the light headedness department. My biggest challenge today was that we had bunco, not just a regular one, but it was being hosted by a friend at my house! She arrived at around 5 with 3 large pizzas, 2 gallons of sweet tea, a chocolate and a coconut cake, jelly beans, reeses pieces, goldfish, and 2 bottles of wine. As she got things ready for our game, I stayed away in the living room eating an apple and pining away for that pizza!! I was able to keep it together and as I went through the line for food; I passed the pizza and headed straight for the salad, then passed the croutons and bacon bits, made a quick stop at the ranch dressing, but just got enough to get the salad down and then I sat down. All night as I moved from table to table, each had their own little snack and I would sit down and move the snack as far away as I could. Despite REALY wanting to cheat and eat some pizza or a handful of one of those snacks I was able to say no and keep on track. I must admit after they left and I picked my house back up I was just wishing a piece of pizza or some remnants of that cake might be hiding some place so I could scarf them down. I even truly considered getting the knives that cut the cake out of the sink and licking them clean. However, very quickly before I could reconsider I rinsed them off and made another bowl of brown rice to fill my belly and curb my cravings.
All in all, it went pretty well. I'm looking forward to the next few days and getting over the hump! Hopefully my workout tomorrow will go a bit better. I have a few carbs planned for my lunch tomorrow in hopes of keeping my energy up enough to make it through. I also had more carbs today than needed and I'm hoping that will help just a bit as well.
No new recipes today, just foods to get me through!
Breakfast:
Protein Smoothie with banana, frozen berries, pomegrante juice, whey protein
Total: 272 calories
Lunch:
1 cup of raw spinach
1/2 cup of strawberries
1 Tbl of basalmic vinegar dressing
1/2 cup of raw carrots
Total: 122 calories
Snack:
3/4 cup of rice
1 Tbl of butter
1 apple
Total: 308 calories
Dinner:
Mixed greens salad with tomatoes and cucumbers
1 Tbl of ranch dressing
1 cup of brown rice
1 Tbl of butter
Total calories: 390
Total calories: 1082
I realize my calories are a bit low, but it's hard to get your calories up when you aren't eating any meat, dairy, and very little carbs. I will say this much, I'm not really too terribly hungry. I never get full, but I'm never starving either. Just a happy medium. I am very much looking foward to day 11 and meat!!

Detox Disaster
So today was the first day of the big detox. The detox that we do is called Standard Process Purification Program. My chiropractor suggested this earlier this year for me to try to help with my migraines. Well it didn't help with the migraines, but it was a great weight loss booster and makes you feel great. It mainly serves to clean your system of toxins from the foods we eat, environment, etc. It's Vegan based and does cut out most grains, all dairy products, and most proteins for a portion of the cleanse. However, one of the reasons I like it is that it does completly cut out dairy, but other than that you do get a little something from the other food groups and you can sneak in a bit of parmesan cheese on occasion as well. Spinach by the way is a very good source of calcium, as long as you're eating a variety of fruits and vegetables you will not be missing vitamins and minerals.
So basically you begin the morning with a whey protein shake with fruit, then fruits and vegetables the rest of the day along with small portions of brown rice, lentils, and oils. You can eat as many vegetables as you want, you eat half as much fruit as vegetables, 1 or 2 protein shakes a day, 1-2 servings of brown rice or lentils a day, 4-7 teaspoons of oils a day. You are also suppossed to drink only spring water and eat only oranic produce or organic meat after day 10. Along with these foods there are also some supplements, flax seed, green food, etc search Standard Process Purification Program for more info if you're interested.
Today's detox started off pretty great. My husband goes to work before I do each day so he makes the shakes in the morning and today he opted for a berry smoothie and it was pretty yummy! The day was going alright until lunch time. Then I realized the lunch I had put together the evening before was still in my fridge at home! So I ran to the local Market Street United and put together a salad, veggies only, and a bit of italian dressing. It was less than satifsfying, but it worked. That afternoon I had a banana for snack and then at 4:30 wet to kickboxing class. Let's just say that day 1 of detox and an hour of kickboxing do not mix well. I was determined not to cheat though. The room was spinning a time or two and I felt like throwing up, but I tried to finish out as best as possible. I got home and felt just awful. I ate a bowl of brown rice in an attempt to get some energy and then finally resorted to laying down for about an hour and half. Finally around 8 I was feeling a bit better. I made dinner and then made my way back to the couch for the remainder of the evening because I was still not quite up the house work that needed to be done! My lesson has been learned that on boot camp/kickboxing days I need to eat at least 2 servings of brown rice/lentils and at least one of those before working out! Day 1 was rough, but it's done now and after a day or two of adjusting I know I'll feel great!

Every Dog Has His Day(s)!
Well, if you caught my Friday post I was having some serious cravings to be bad! We are starting our detox tomorrow and when you have to go nearly a month without eating basically any carbs, meat, sugars, fats, etc. it's tempting to treat yourself a bit before going into that! Well, I treated myself alright. I treated myself at breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day this weekend! I averaged about 2000 calories or a bit more each day this weekend (which in all honesty isn't a huge catastrophe), but certainly put my weight loss into a stand still. I was also lazy, and didn't workout any this weekend!
In the past when I've done this, I often give in and let myself just gorge when I cheat and then feel so bad about myself I eat more, exercise less and eventually kind of give up for a time. This time, I did cheat and I did let myself eat foods I normally wouldn't all in one day, but I didn't just completely go crazy. I still kept up with my calories and when I got close to 2000 stopped for the day. I didn't eat until I was so full I couldn't move, and didn't eat large portion sizes of these bad foods. Now in part, I am trying to defend myself a bit and make it ok that I gave in. Which it's not. However, if you are going to give in a) you can't do it for days at a time, and b) you can't eat only junk. Even just 2 days a week of cheating can completely undo the other 5 days worth of exercise and good foods. So, I am NOT going to post my foods and calories for this weekend. In part because I'm a bit ashamed and embarrassed, and in part because the foods themselves wouldn't serve to be helpful to you, only my story of how I gave in to temptation and am now going to pick myself up off the floor, wipe the ice cream off my mouth and know that "Tomorrow is another day!"

Day 9
Oh weekends, how you make me want to cheat. I have had some serious urges to cheat today!! All I've wanted all day is bad foods and to be lazy. So far, I haven't done too bad, but am getting ready to head to watch my cousins boyfriend's band play at Buffalo Wild Wings, so pray that I can keep up my decent day! While calorie wise I've done well today, I have eaten very little in the way of veggies and fruits and way too many carbs! All I can say is that I need some motivation and I need it quickly! Luckily we are starting the detox on Monday and for whatever reason, I usually do pretty well on it once I get over the initial day or two of missing meat and dairy products terribly!! This is also aiding in my desires to eat bad things. I keep trying to justify that anything dairy, meat, carbs, etc that I desire to eat I better get in before Monday because once I start that detox it's almost a month without those items. It's amazing how my mind can battle within and how I can convince myself that things are ok! I truly do believe that for myself at least, the battle to lose the weight is as much one of the mind as it is of the body. I have got to learn to treat food more as nourishment and less as a reward or a punishment for things! I think that one might be a very LONG journey, but it's either that or continue this up and down battle for life with my weight.
Oh food, how I love and hate thee all at the same time!!
So here is my so-so day.......
Breakfast:
1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup of milk, and 2 slices of turkey bacon
Total: 201 calories
Mid-morning snack:
1/2 english muffin
Total: 60 calories
Lunch: Leftovers
Pork Chops with cream of mushroom, brown rice, and green beans
1/2 cup of raw carrots
1 banana
Total: 393 calories
Snack:
Diet Coke with Vanilla
Total: 60 calories
Dinner:
2 pieces of Little Cesars Cheese Pizza
Total: 500 calories
Total for the day: 1240 calories
Exercise: Today in class I taught my students about calories. They each ate a large marshmallow (25 calories), then could choose how to work that marshmallow off. All classes chose to walk off the calories, so I go about 30 minutes of walking in between walking around with the kids during 6 periods and standing around making sure they were participating in the activity. FYI: It takes about 10 minutes and 30 seconds of walking at a normal pace to burn the 25 calories and 6 minutes and 30 seconds of walking at a fast pace. Of course your weight also plays into this too, but we didn't get into that today and since it's middle schoolers, they burn less calories because they weigh less.
Total: 118 calories based upon my weight

Good News and Bad News!
Well week 1 is over and done and drum roll........ I lost 5 pounds! This would be the good news by the way. I have to say that I'm rather positive that part of the weight loss is due to the fact that I had a HUGE day worth of food the day before I weighed and was likely retaining a bit of water. Regardless though, this isn't too shabby for my first week. I'd say I lost at least a good 2 or 3 pounds of just fat, which is exactly what I was hoping. We've established that what I'm doing so far is working and that is definitely refreshing since I have been doing other stuff lately and have had no success or very little success, a pound lost, a pound gained, and still exactly where I started. So I am making good ground now and doing something that I can keep up easily, I don't feel deprived, and most importantly it's working!!
Now for the bad news, today was a bad day for the food. I did do very good up until dinner when we met my mom at Rosa's and my starving stomach got the best of me. I let myself cheat a bit and ended up totaling out a bit over 2000 calories for the day. Not a complete diet bust by any means, but I just can't let myself do this often, especially on a day when I'm not working out to burn off some of the extra calories. No recipes today, so I'll try and do a short and sweet version of my foods and calories for the day! Let me know if this blog is helping you or entertaining you or if you're using the recipes. Aside from this being a way to keep up with my personal journey, I would really like for others to benefit from it in their journey's with food, weight, or life in general!
Breakfast:
Ezekiel bread, 1 Tbl of peanut butter, 1/2 Tbl of raw honey, and 1/2 cup of milk
Total: 266 calories
Mid morning snack:
String cheese and 2 cups of decaf/sugar free coffee
Total: 130 calories
Lunch:
Cafeteria food so I tried to over estimate a bit to stay on the safe side
Whole wheat tortilla, grilled chicken with buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomato and baked bbq lays
Total: 405 calories
Snack:
1 cup of pineapple
2/3 cup of crab meat
Total: 212 calories
Dinner: (This is what un-did my pretty healthy day so far!)
Rosa's Cafe - Chicken Fajita dinner with 2 tortillas, minus the rice, cheese, and sour cream
A bit of honey with the final tortilla for dessert
Total: 1007
Total for the day: 2020
Goal for tomorrow: Stick to my 1200-1600 calorie range even though it's Friday and will be tempting to cheat!
