DAY 2

187 (down 2lbs)

Waking up was nothing special. I fell asleep like I normally do and I woke up like I normally do. That would mean that I set an alarm for 5am for the gym, get up to turn it off and go back to bed. Then my 6am alarm goes off for work and I hit snooze until 6:30 or Beata has started to fuss - whichever comes first. I then nudge Rob to get her a bottle and I lay there convincing myself to get up and into the shower. Then my morning begins...

This morning was the acai drink straight from the bottle. Still nasty but at least it was a lesser quantity so I didn't draw out the process. I was also surpised at how much easier it was getting the green drink down. Don't get me wrong, it was still nasty, but at least I wasn't gagging as much! Lunch was my live juice of cucumbers/carrots/ginger/broccoli. Later I had the VegeSplash (much colder but still salty) and another green drink.

The evening was quite hectic but I still stayed true. I left work at 3 and headed straight to the gym for 30 min of cardio on the Precor. I left Beata with my parents because we had a viewing to get to and I still needed to make a soup. There was no way I could swing all that and feed the kid before picking Rob up at the metro. Besides, my mom is on vacation so she picked Beata up early to spend some time with her.

Dinner was Curried Vegetable Soup: (note to self, use more water)
1 qt. water or veggie stock
1 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup mixed greens, chopped
1 cup yellow zucchini, chopped
1 cup green beans, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. turmeric powder1 tsp. (of each) ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cayenne powder mixed together

I used extra veggies but neglected to add enough water so my puree was pretty thick. I pureed my serving and put it in my travel mug (which I absolutely love btw) and grabbed another travel mug for Rob. His serving was the whole vegetables with some broth. I drank mine while driving and waiting at the metro and he gobbled his down on the way to the viewing.

By the time we picked Beata up and got home it was close to 9pm. I was not hungry and am very pleased with that. I took my supplements, drank some water and headed to bed. I needed to get out of there before Rob started snacking. Poor guy...I could smell toast in the oven and thought I would strangle him. I didn't mind him eating a salad in front of me - that has no scent - but the toast? grrr

Overall a very successful day. Who says you can't eat healthy and have a busy life???
