Day 43: Only 2 weeks to go and I can have meat again!

I had a skin care class in Long Beach today. Boring. When did classes like this get boring? I really wanted to hear about the new products, but I was working, so I could only stay for first part of class...the boring part that I know inside and out already.

But I was good w/ my meals!

Water: no lemon but I drank a bunch while driving
BK: Large salad w/ apples etc
Lunch: 2 potatoes fried in oil w/ Ketchup. Yep they were good and worth it!
Dinner: leftover pasta (more veggies than soba) 2 chicken lime patties from TJ w/ ketchup.
Dessert: Strawberries w/ failed agave sweetened chocolate from 3 nights ago.

Day 42: Wonky Schedule

Sometimes my expected schedule changes and then it throws off my eating. Take for example today. I didn't pack a lunch because I was supposed to be done at 1pm. BUT I had a last minute schedule for 4pm so I hung out in my office and waited. This is why I have to buy lunch sometimes! But today I wasn't too hungry so I just toughed it out.

Water : missed it!
BK: 1 pear
Lunch: missed it!
Snack: Almonds and 3 grape leaves I found in my mini fridge.
Dinner: Soba noodles (lots) w/ a TON of veggies I made in a marinara sauce. Mmm!
Dessert: walnuts honey and an apple

Day 41: Carbs a go go

So if anyone ever reads this, which I doubt, I think you'll see a pattern of too many carbs. I have to say that in the final stretch of the hard core, no meat, liver cleansing 4 weeks it's gotten worse. But I've stuck to the principals of the cleanse so I'm not berating myself. Monday I get to eat chicken and eggs again. This makes me very happy. Also, I got on the scale today and was 2 lbs lighter! So hopefully this means my liver is working better. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am going to have to keep up many portions of this WOL to keep my liver happy. But it hasn't been too bad. I'm contemplating going on the Standard Process cleanse on Monday. I need to take a look at the directions and see if I can move over to it if it has the same general principals as the liver cleanse. I'll keep you informed.

Water
BK: pear
Lunch: nothing
Snack: 1 apple w almonds
Dinner: too much sushi! 3 rolls of spicy tuna I was SO full. But I had a breakthrough with the sushi rice. I added rice vinegar to the rice and it was perfect!
Dessert: also made an entire carton of chocolate covered strawberries and then ate them all. Chocolate was 99% dark no sugar added. I melted it w/ stevia. Yum! Note to anyone though, agave does not heat well w/ chocolate...

Day 40: Eating out!

I got to see Dr. Horrible and The Guild on the big screen which was amazing. I went out to The Pig & Whistle and although I ate some chicken broth and a few strips of chicken I stayed on plan. Meat. I'm telling you I needed it.

Water: none! I didn't get a chance this morning!
BK: Juice
Lunch: 1 pita w/ avocado, soba noodles w/ olive oil, huge salad w/ apples and walnuts
Snack: pear
Dinner: 3 mahi mahi tacos but only one flour tortilla, 1 slice of sourdough bread. chicken broth and a few chicken strips (not breaded or anything just strips of chicken).
Dessert: walnuts, pear, apple, and honey

Day 39: So sick of this

I am officially so sick of this. I want some fing meat! I need beef! Hell I'll take chicken at this point. I can't wait until Monday. I need some real food. TOM is still hard, but getting through it.

Water
BK: melon and apples
Lunch: nothing
Dinner: 2 pita w/ olive oil and salt, 1 big salad, some chocolate
Snack: honey walnuts pear

Day 38: TOM arrived - ick.

Workout really hard today. Light cardio. No meat cleanse is kicking my cardio to the curb. Showered after and hello Aunt Flow. Finally!

Water - not this morning!
BK: none
Lunch: large salad w/ apples & walnuts & a Primevil Bar which is a whole wheat scone like thing w/ raisins. Very little sugar though. Also 2 servings of the dark chocolate I made w/ the nuts and raisins.
Dinner: San Sai. Okay so I am eating at this place WAY too much. I am trying not to eat out and was doing so well until I hit this 4 weeks of the cleanse. It is SO hard to pre-plan fish meals. Also hard to re-heat them. Sushi is my only option I feel. San Sai rocks though. 3 skewers of grilled shrimp (15 shrimp) and 1 brown rice spicy tuna roll all for $17. More than I want to spend, but not bad for how much fresh, healthy, fish protein.
Dessert: apple and pear w/ walnuts and about 3 tbs of honey. The sweet tooth! I'm still hungry too. Not eating, but really want to.

Okay off to bed. Cramps are really bad. A bit headache too. Most of my water today was had at home tonight. Cleaned my Camelback and now it's tasty again. It was SO gross. Like black slime...eeew. So I should be able to track my water better. When I fill that thing up and finish it I know I've had enough.

Day 37: Being so darn good

I"m working out w/ my trainer tomorrow so I had a few more carbs to make sure I had enough energy. But veggie intake was good as well as water.

Water
BK: shark & a pan fried potato w. ketchup. Had to have something with my homeade ketchup!
Snack: walnuts w/ honey, apple, pear
Lunch: salad w/ dressing (late bk so light lunch)
snack: energy chocolate
Dinner: late this evening so kept it light, but wanted to make sure I had plenty of carbs. Rice tortilla baked and cut into chips, tahini, 5 grape leaves, steamed broccoli
Dessert: 1 small chunk of chocolate w/ nuts and raisins.

TOM still not here...very late at this point...
