Day 85-96: July 31st thru August 11th

Posted on by

Well health world, I apologize for my absence, I have had a crazy couple of weeks. Work has been insane and since I am so exhausted by the time I get home and work out I really didn’t feel like posting.  Plus I was terrible at taking pictures…I was seriously busy.  Too busy.

So in my time away, I lost 12 pounds! Yayy! My 2-week cleanse really helped jump start my weighloss. Also, not drinking alcohol seems to really have a huge effect on my weight. It was sobering(no pun intended) to go 14 days with no alcohol at all. I realized that although I love the occasional drink or two, life sober is beautiful. I got so much done and I was super motivated and energized.  I don’t think this means I’m gonna quit drinking forever, (last night I had a glass of champagne…okay two!) but I do realize that I drink way too much way too often. Alcohol is a depressant and I am not a depressed person so why drink so much? Here’s to a new semi-sober me.

Paired with the ‘no drinking’ rule I had NO dairy and NO meat, now this is pretty easy for me because I already do not eat those things, but I did notice through this cleanse that I was getting a little more experimentive with different raw and natural foods.  It’s exciting, now if only I could get my husband to eat the same way, it’s annoying sometimes to make two different versions of the same dinner. Although we make it work, it would be nice to eat the same!

So to sum up the last two weeks…after I finished my cleanse on August 5th, I kept up with my healthy eating, I did have some wine on Thursday and there were a few cheat days mixed in, but fairly clean eating and working out still ensued so I am still on may way to being the healthiest version of myself. Have not given up yet.

I am considering doing weekly posts instead of daily posts, I never wanted this blog to become stressful and the daily posts are really stressing me out, I feel so guilty when I don’t post. So I say weekly posts might be better.

Thanks to those of you that continue to support this blog, you inspire me.

Till next time,

Veggie salad with a bell pepper from my garden, it may be little, but it was good!

I would like to state for the record that I believe that I am finally coming around the corner with this weight-loss fiasco I got myself into. It’s time for some serious results, I know change doesn’t happen overnight, but I slowly feel myself changing. Down 7 pounds since July 16th. Doin’ It!

Breakfast

1

My very first Wheatgrass shot! I have been studying and reading up on wheatgrass lately and I am convinced this is a wonder food, a super food and I am so glad to be on this bandwagon. Don’t love the taste so much, but I LOVE the way it makes me feel. Energized and awake and just plain good.

I had a small salad, but that was it. A bad food day for me.

A nice evening hike with my love, Zuk.

Dinner

;lk;kl;

Meat Day. I have not had chicken on my meat day in over 4 months. I am so weird-ed out by chicken I just cannot eat it anymore…but let me tell you…the Trader Joe’s all organic chicken is wonderful. It is amazing what whole, natural chicken tastes like. So yummy. I savored this meat day. Oh the sauce is my homemade buffalo sauce, Olive Oil, Garlic, Rice Vinegar, 21 Seasonings(from TJ’s) and of course Red Hot.

Not looking forward to work tomorrow.

Breakfast

photo (7)

Okay…started my day off right with my ‘Super Smoothie’ BUT for whatever reason this day turned into a mega cheat day…

photo (11) photo (5)

Broke my morning fast and my no coffee rule today. (FYI, that disgusting cinnamon role made me sick to my stomach, that’s what happens when you don’t eat dairy forever and then suddenly do. YUCK.)

photo (10)

Had to cleanse with some good ol’ Hot Lemon Water

Lunch

photo (6)

Okay, this is a bad one. The sandwich was mostly good, not sure about the bread but the veggies and avocado were good…the chips, not so much and the worst…I am so embarrassed…A DIET COKE!!?? With all the preaching I do about this poison, I drank one…well not really I think I had a quarter of it and then tossed it feeling nothing but regret.

photo (9)

Got a new desk chair today. I am in LOVE.

Workout

photo (8)

It keeps getting better with the cheating doesn’t it? Notice how I put this under the ‘Workout’ section? Well…I didn’t workout. (Shame.)

Dinner

No dinner tonight for me. After this major cheat day, I was not hungry at all. Go figure.

I guess we are allowed these every once in awhile, but my personal opinion…it just isn’t worth it. I just get too thrown off of my regimen and I don’t like it.
