Detox Day
Good Afternoon and Happy Hump Day! I am happy to report that I woke up rested and motivated to shed these dreaded few pounds that I have been lugging around the past month or so. My goal is to shed 3 permanent pounds and if I lose 5 lbs even better! I know that is not a lot of weight to lose it just sort of crept up on me (that is not really true- it was helped by all those goodies I make!) and I just have not felt as good in my jeans. Now with the the spring weather just around the corner I think it is the perfect time to get lean and mean!  I love all the spring flowers that are popping up. Spring is a time for new beginnings and I am excited and motivated to clean up my act and get back in to my "happy zone." I started my day off with TWO warm glasses of water with fresh lemon slices. This wakes up the body and cleanses the system. Then I made a delicious Raspberry Spinach Smoothie. This was loaded with protein and also very refreshing. It really filled me up and got me through Body Pump class.  Raspberry Spinach Smoothie 1 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk 2 cups baby spinach 1 cup frozen raspberries 1 scoop whey protein powder I upped my weights at Body Pump class and was feeling a little shaky when I got home, in a good way. I felt like a got a really good workout. I then drank two more glasses of lemon water- flushing the system. I had a little after-workout snack of 1/2 an Ezekiel English Muffin with a smear of Sunbutter.  That seemed to hit the spot. Lunch was my new favorite Banana Cottage Cheese Split + 2 glasses of lemon water!  Banana Cottage Cheese Split 1 banana, split in half 1/2 cup cottage cheese 3 strawberries, sliced 1 tbsp Chia Goodness 1 tbsp sliced almonds So delicious. My plan for the rest of the day is to have a nutrious salad at Whole Foods for dinner. We are planning to stop there after Taekwondo and I always love making a salad with tons of veggies, beans and some sort of whole grain such as quinoa.  I am actually going to try to give up dessert tonight which is extremely hard for me! I am not into deprivation so I think I will have a yogurt parfait for a sweet treat or a piece of dark chocolate. I will let you know how the day plays out but that is my plan so far! It really all comes down to being mindful of what I am putting into my mouth, eating nutrious and filling foods and enjoying the foods I am eating as well. I love food but I always feel better and have more energy when I eat healthy. I am off to a good start and am excited to go and pick up the kids and get busy with the rest of our day! Have a wonderful Hump Day and I will check in tomorrow.  related searches : Detox
