Day Two arrived and I was apprehensive.. Most diets I tend to lose interest after 2 - 3 days.. But i'm rather excited about this.. So we'll see what happens..
Breakfast was the Popeye Passion Smoothie. Nubian told me it pepped her up.. I thought ya OK we'll see. Let me tell you, at 09:00 I went to the hospital for my normal rounds.. My mind was alert, I was keyed up. This was the feeling I had after a large PJ's Cappuccino. Even our PA noticed and was amazed. So, Popeye Smoothie for breakfast everyday. This works.
My snack was 1.5 cups of raw almonds. Lunch consisted of a salad (Spinach, Celery, strawberries, dried cranberries and avo. I put a serving of raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette dressing. I know, I know.. no processed foods, but I'm still learning about all of this.. I'll do better in a week or so.
After lunch snack was the Raw Oats w/ Almond Milk.. I cannot tell you how much I love this snack. It is filling, tastes wonderful, so much better than cooked Oats.
Dinner was a grilled Portobello Mushroom w/ Cauliflower mash.. This is going to be one of my absolutely fave meals I can tell. I marinated the mushroom in soy sauce w/ garlic and vinegar.. then lightly grilled it.. The cauliflower mash was what was left over from yesterday's lunch.
Tonight's snack will probably be some fruit.
After just a few days, I can truly feel a difference. My face feels smoother, I'm more alert and not prone to that 2:30 snooze.
My thought for today: I can do anything if I enjoy it..
I don't think this birthday week was a good time to start for me. I told you the Popeye smoothie is wonderful. Gives me more energy and alertness than a cup of coffee did.
