Crazy Sexy Diet day 3-5

Today is day 6 

sorry I haven't posted I have a few pictures that I have taken over the last few days but nothing spectacular... salads all start to look the same don't they? and my iPhone camera made a few of them sort of blurry. I mixed up my salads and bought a few different varieties of Organic Girl Salad mixes-- the one I am working through this week is the 50/50 mix and as always it is highly made out of Kale, which is seriously one of my favorites and I have never even made it as a "chip" I like it plain just the way it is.

I am drinking my green juices and I am liking them, a lot more than I thought I was going to like them! They even have a sweet-ish taste after awhile.. I guess it is the cucumber?

One thing that I did do different on day 3 I added black beans to my quinoa.. and something else I found interesting is that I have a hard time even eating dinner because I am so full from lunch and the snack, i guess it is all the fiber.

Yoga is going good.. I love yoga. I remember taking a yoga class about two years ago and the instructor told me I had the flexibility of a 13 year old, guess she was impressed that someone as big as I was could move like that. I am also enjoying the meditation but again it was old hat but with everything going on lately it has been very peaceful to actually make a date with myself to do it daily where before I was doing it sometimes but not daily.

This is lunch today.. and a sweet potato that I won't photo because who hasn't seen that before? and if you haven't keep scrolling because I took a photo on day 1 or 2..

today's salad is snap peas, kale, mushrooms and red peppers and tahini dressing.. I LOVE the tahini dressing.


Recently I was told about vegan cheese.... IF I do decide to become 100% vegan after this (which I doubt because I miss shrimp and grilled chicken sandwiches and turkey burgers...) I have been a clean eater for so long that I really don't think I would be into the vegan replacement products... I would rather have the organic, grass fed, free range, no antibiotic having meat than to have something that has been processed the hell out of and includes texturizing gums... like xanthan.. I mean.. WHAT is that?? Aside from that I actually adhere to the old-fashioned eating style of meat in moderation (aside from red meat that I just find disgusting.. yuck it is all bloody... AND if it makes your bowls and pots and pans all slimy and coated with junk.. don't you think it is doing that to your insides too?) and the use of eggs and milk.. I guess I am old fashioned and I have yet to find the biblical calling to vegan-ism... but who knows.. we will see what unfolds with my detox. 

I probably won't post again today but I will post tomorrow and update you all on how it is going, right now I have to read my baby boy some books.. I love our snuggle time while the older boys read to themselves... I love being a mother, it is truly everything I ever thought it would be even if I am having to do it alone, they bring me so much joy and I am so proud of who they are becoming.. I am hoping that I get this school stuff done soon and get everything to where I need it to be financially because I really want another child and I would like it to be before I turn 35. I still have all my hormone levels checked and I do ovulate most of the time so that is a really, really good thing to me! 

Crazy Sexy Diet day 2

Another green juice bites the dust! I am loving the green juices! Make juice not War is yummy! I never thought I would say it but Kris Carr delivers a juice I can get into. Then came lunch.. I had miso soup and another big salad.. I need to show a picture of the size of this bowl.. it is large compared to a regular sized bowl and I always eat the salad before I touch the other stuff. 

 I also did some more food prepping and filled up the stuff I have been using and separated the leftover quinoa into smaller bowls for easier reheating.

For dinner I had the leftover sweet potato and this yummy salad. 

Day 2 went well too! I am starting to... use the bathroom a bit more.. TMI I am sure but it IS a detox so... I guess that is what I am supposed to be doing. Today was a bit harder because I wasn't focused on "I am detoxing" and I had to remind myself not to nibble off the kids plates. I am remembering to do my detox baths and the dry brushing and the nightly yoga... but again I had a foot up on that because that has been a part of my normal routine for years now-- I started dry brushing and daily yoga in middle school.

Crazy Sexy Diet Day 1

Day 1 

 Breakfast--- It went... slowly.. I milked it.. I was a big baby and literally only "sucking it up" like I said I was going to. It really wasn't that bad... my subsequent juices have been much better than the smoothie.. just couldn't learn to love the texture. Luckily I made enough to last me until after noon which is what the detox recommends.

Then came lunch... I have never been so ready for lunch! I had a small sweet potato, roasted and plain. I also had a yummy salad! I love salad and I am loving experimenting with different amounts of different veggies to give it variety. I actually am a huge salad lover, it was even a pregnancy craving with my middle son-- and he still loves salad. I was so full from the salad that I saved some of the potato for later. 

 Smack! I had my first actual green juice of the detox and some approved crackers and I mixed up some homemade pico, some guacamole, and some garlic hummus.. I LOVE this mixture. I have mixed the pico and hummus together but this is the first time I have ever thrown in the guacamole. If you have never done it.. then you should!

 Dinner! A big salad and a small portion of quinoa and broccoli.. I made this in bulk too so I will be eating more of this.. I may add some more veggies and stuff to give it variety as well. Again the salad had me so full that I couldn't even finish the quinoa.

Today was easy.. almost too easy.. I wasn't expecting any headaches or anything though because I am fully free of caffeine and have been for a long time now, at least 4 months and probably more.. I am also pretty much free of dairy and gluten and animal products with the exception of some shrimp and salmon and I like turkey sausage in the morning. This vegan thing is easy!

Apple Cider Vinegar and a nice bum bum

It has been almost a month and I am really loving the ACV shots.. I feel better and my stomach has not had any issues at all.. it is nice. I have even noticed that my skin is healthier looking.. I haven't weighed or measured myself so I am not sure if it made any difference there but really that wasn't the point so I am not too worried about it. I will be weighing and measuring myself tomorrow morning though because I am FINALLY going to start (and complete)  the Crazy Sexy Cleanse! *** I couldn't help myself and went and weighed anyway.. I lost 10 lbs***

I went grocery shopping today and got out spending roughly $300 and that will last about two weeks.. I am nervous about sticking with the green juices.. I have had them before and didn't like them all that much. I am going to suck it up though because I didn't like the ACV the first few times and I still took it anyway, in fact I can think of at least a few things that I didn't like the taste of initially and then it grew on me.

I finished one round of the Brazil Butt Lift and now I am going in for round 2... a different program this time. I got plenty of compliments during the first 30 days so I figured why not go another round. I am nixing the off days and added Yoga Booty Ballet and Crunchless Abs. I am still doing my sprinting work and doing one long run a week.. but to be honest it isn't much of a long run, I will get there though it isn't like I want to be a marathon runner.
