Day 3

185 (down 4lbs)

Didn't sleep as soundly as I had hoped but I did wake up very alert. So alert that I could not snooze during the alarm snooze function. Sigh...might as well get up right? I did a quick body brush before jumping in the shower. Same old routine with preparing for work, chatting with hubby and kissing my little girl every time I pass her. She just sits up on our bed playing with toys and watching the chaos every morning.

I did a quick shot of the acai - this time with a tiny dash of stevie. Getting better at this! The green drink is getting much better as well. I can't use a blender at work so I have a shaker bottle with a whisk ball inside. I found that if I shake it up good with some cold water, then let it set for a while to dissolve any chuncks, then shake it up really good again, I can drink with very easily. I was so proud of myself on adapting.

Lunch was another live juice I made last night: 3 carrots/4 large collard green leaves/1 quarter beet/2 small handfuls of green grapes. The grapes were an add-in on my part. Probably messes with the balance but certainly helped the taste!

I had a great suggestion from a fellow mvdd to HEAT the VegeSplash so it was more like tomato soup - what a great idea! Totally helps the brain to click. Although it took me a lot longer to get down. Not a bad thing normall but I was on a schedule and needed to hit the gym before picking up my daughter, feeding her and then picking up my husband. Not enough hours in the day!

I left work just before 3 with my ice-cold green drink in the bag for later. I did a pretty solid upper body workout (UBWO) and 15 min on this precor machine that was kinda like stepping but kinda like running...not sure what the heck it was but it definitely got my heartrate up there! Of course, in my rush I have lost my damn iPod. As such, I have lost my faith in humanity. I've posted a sign in the locker room but I doubt whomever picked it up with return it. sigh...couldn't even hang on to it for an entire year!

Dinner was leftover Curried Vegetable soup. I did notice that my stomach growled a few times throughout the day but I never felt uncomfortable or like my sugar was plumeting.

All set for Day 4 - made a live juice of baby carrots/kale/baby spinach/ginger/garlic/beet/broccoli/lime. Basically I take a bowl to the fridge and start grabbing veggies. I make sure the bowl is majority green and slide on over to the juicer. I take a taste test and make adjustments as needed. That goes in a little travel cup for lunch the next day. Fantastic!

I headed to bed around 9:30 so poor Rob could eat some more food. He is so good about NOT eating in front of me at night - god I love him ;-)
