Southern Squeezed

I feel lighter...I feel...better.  There is a place in the hay of Columbia SC called Southern squeezed.  It has cold pressed juices and mylks.  I need a reset and that's one of my places to go.  If you are ever in the area check them out.  The juice menu is delicious, and a treat for your body.  Check them out if you are ever in the area.  #southernsqueezed

Delicious Shaved Brussel sprouts

I usually wake up a little late on Sundays....slept in.  Went to the store the other day and found some Shaved brussel sprouts, so decided to cook that this morning, and it turned out...delicious!!!  Yum!!!  I sprinkled feta cheese on mine, cause I love feta.  One of the many reasons I can't call myself a vegan....I can't give up my feta cheese!

1 bag Shaved brussel sprouts
1 small onion
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
25 ml balsamic vinegar
Sprinkle of feta cheese

Choco-Peanut Butter-Banana Yum Yum Shake

Yep, I'm at it again.  Been feeling..........fat.  Yep.  Been feeling fat.  What does that feel like?  For me, bloated and uncomfortable.  I don't like feeling uncomfortable.  So, I am at it again.  I can't define what I am.  Vegan? Pecatarian? Vegetarian?  I dunno.  I just want to eat better to feel better.  I felt great when I was eating lots of veggies....so back I go.  This was my breakfast this morning, and it was deliciousness!!!!

2 bananas
I tablespoon cacao powder
1 heaping tablespoon natural peanut butter
8 1/2 Oz of natural almond milk with vanilla
Cup of ice
Squeeze of Agave Nectar
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Total Life Changes will change your life, totally!

What is Total Life Changes you ask?  It is a wonderful company that has products that really work!  One thing that I have always suffered from if being tired.  I am a teacher and I work long days sometimes.  There was a time when I would come home and simply crash after work because I was so tired after my day.  There were so many missed events, lost hours, all because I was so very tired.  I missed out on alot because I was just so tired.  But not anymore.  I now take the NutraBurst vitamins from Total Life Changes and I have energy to spare at the end of the day.  And when I get in the bed at night, I have no problem going to sleep. Try it for your self!

Resolution Drops

Hey there!!  I am now using TLCs Resolution Drops!!  So far, so GREAT!!  These drops say that you can lose anywhere from 1-3lbs daily.  I promise, since I have been using the drops I have lost at least 1lb a day.  The first day I used them, I was down 3lbs.  Now, there were a few days I did not use as directed, and lets just say I started using them the right way again.  There is an eating plan that comes along with the Resolution Drops which is a 1200 calorie based eating plan that does not include sugar or flour.  I have been following the plan and so far, I love stepping on the scale.  My ideal weight is 130.  When I reach 170, 160, 150, 140 and finally 130, I will post my results.  If you would like more info, please click HERE to find out more info.  WATCH ME LOSE!!!!!

I CHALLENGE YOU!!

The challenge I have the most is drinking water.  I don't know why its so hard for me, but I plan to overcome it!!!  I purchased a water jug that holds 74.4 oz, and I am planning to sip on it all through the day.  Hopefully, this way, I will get all the water I need for today.  I will post a picture of my jug this morning, and then post again this evening, that way I can track myself publicly.  I think water is the essential part to any weight loss journey.  If you don't drink the water that your body needs, then everything that you attempt to do is for naught.  So I challenge you, drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water, or 8 cups daily.  Lets do it together!! Who's with me??

Heres my jug in case you are wondering!  There is a link below if you want to purchase your own.  Happy Water Drinking!!

One Week Celebration!!!

I am so excited to say that I have been clean eating for a week now!!!  Yes, I start and I stop, and start again....but the important thing is that I continue!!   Yesssssss!!!  I keep it going!!  This week, here is the routine that I followed.  Did I follow it perfectly?  No, I didn't, but I kept it moving and persevered!!!  There were some days where I did not get all my water in, and some days I skipped breakfast, but I kept on til I finished.  The plan is to continue this for 30 days.  I have a secret group on Facebook called Eat for Life!.  If you want to join me, send a request and you can take this journey along with me!!

Morning:  Green Drink, and 32oz of water
Breakfast:  My favorite fruit, heated or cold
Snack:  If I am hungry I will eat a handful of nuts, or a fruit or veggie.  Normally, I am not hungry at this point.  I also drink another 32oz of water.
Lunch:  A veggie meal of some sort.  This is my biggest meal of the day.  I may have a veggie sandwich and a salad, or a veggie soup and salad...stir fried veggies and a salad...any combination.
Snack:  Same as above snack, and I will drink another 32oz of water
Dinner:  I have a light dinner or quinoa and veggies, steamed veggies or a salad

At night I take Universal Mind...its is a bitter cleanser.  It cleans EVERYTHING out of your system, and I mean EVERYTHING!!!!  I have also tried the MagO7 which is a cleanser as well.  I will post later about both of these.

Why isn't it easier for people to eat good....but so easy to eat bad????  Our S.A.D. sad Standard American Diet.  I want change but my lifestyle is so busy....I need good fast food....NOW!!!!

Still at it

Just a quick post...I'm still at it!  This is tonight's meal.   Cabbage with Turkey sausage and water.  Eat well...I am trying to!

Today...ehhh....not so good

So, today at work I had my 35 Oz of water....35 Oz of juice and my cucumber and apples as snacks. For dinner, I repeated the Mahi Mahi with couscous.  It was not as good the second time around.  The first time I had pearled couscous and I really enjoyed it.  But when I cooked It last night, I found some regular couscous in the grocery store.  It was ok, just preferred the texture of the pearled couscous.   Well....I didn't drink but 8oz of my smoothie....and drank no water during the day.  That's not good.  I did eat my snacks and dinner at 9ish.  Thise cucumbers are sooooo good!!!  Right now, after dinner, I am stuffed.  I have to make sure I drink my smoothie first thing and drink at least half of the water when I get to work.  I have to go to the bathroom very frequently because I drink the water so close to bed time.  Bad idea.  Tonight I'll drink the water but tomorrow I'll try to drink it during the day mostly.  We'll see.  I don't know if anyone reads these....say hi if you are ;) 

Today's eats

Today I started the day with some Berry Detox tea sweetened with organic Stevia.  I used a spoonful of Stevia....and man that stuff is sweet.  It's a different kind of sweet though...not like sugar, but still very good.  That Berry Detox tea is really strong, so the sweetener did nicely making it ok to drink.  I have a 32 Oz bottle of water and 32 Oz of Berry Pineapple smoothie.  I didn't like it at first, but I've been sipping all day.  It's grown on me.  I cut the cucumbers last night and seasoned them with sea salt and pepper and some Newmans Own Caesar Dressing.  That dressing is sooooo good...those cucumbers were so tasty.  I gave my husband a bigger serving than I gave myself...I won't do that again.  I also had HoneyCrisp apples.  I like those the best.  Had Red Delicious yesterday...they were not crisp, kind of soggy...I dunno.  I didn't like them.  Tonight Pineapple Mahi Mahi.  I don't think I've ever had Mahi Mahi before...I cooked it last night and of course I had to taste it....it was really good.  I posted a pic in another post...looks good right??  Happy Eating!
