Here goes, day 1 again!
I started the day off right. 4 egg whites, with 5 cherry tomatoes, and 3 diced mini peppers. I also had gluten free oatmeal with 1/2cup blueberries, a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg as well as almond extract.
I am feeling more encouraged today & ready to tackle this detox...again.
I thought of another benefit to the detox...clearing up my acne some more. I've been on a pretty good regime so far so it's keeping the cystic acne down, but still a lot of scarring and redness left. I am on a regular routine at the salon though for facials and peels & I'm pretty pleased with the progress but detoxing should help it out even more!
Before I get started on the rest of my day (i.e. going to the gym & then work) I am going to post what my meal plan will look like over the next week. I am going to do it a little differently though, I am just going to group them by meal versus break it down by day. Hoping it'll be easier to type it out that way...and it keeps me honest because same does I don't cook what I say I'm going to cook, sometimes I switch meals out depending on how much time I have or if I get way laid at work or something...whatever...
Okay! Here goes Days 1-9 of my Sugar Detox!
Breakfast- 4 fried egg whites in olive olive-seasoned to my taste (basically parsley, garlic, onion, black pepper) + 3 diced mini sweet peppers + 5 cherry tomatoes, I am going to try the apple stresul muffins-but I will post the recipe after I try them. I plan to eat these with 4 egg whites. Cinnamon coconut pancakes + 4 egg whites & veggies.
Am Snacks: Almond butter + Apple + Unsweetened coconut flakes, grapes + mixed nuts, hard boiled eggs + carrots, roasted chick peas, going to attempt another smoothie recipe-will post once I try it.
(Snacks are pretty simple, I try to keep them basic.)
Lunch: 4 meals will be left overs, 2 meals will be pan fried chicken breast plus green beans, (I chop uncooked chicken breast, then place in a pan with olive oil and fry until golden brown and juices run clear- or temp reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, cook vegetables by your preference, I plan to cook my green beans in the same pan until tender. I season chicken with black pepper, powdered onion & garlic) the last 2 meals will be chicken salad-- 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 cooked & shredded chicken breast, 3 tbsp chopped red onion, 1/4 cup red grapes, 1 chopped green apple, 2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp parsley.
Pm Snacks: Hard boiled eggs + walnuts, chips + hummus or avocado hummus, Beef jerky, pumpkin seeds, hard boiled eggs + a vegetable
Dinner: Mini Mexi-Meatloaves, Taco salad (I'll post this recipe next next), Salmon + vegetable...possibly quinoa, Nacho Pot Pie (I didn't get to this recipe last week, but since I have the ingredients I put it back on the menu this week) Date night for our anniversary & a night out with a friend! (The book covers how to eat out while detoxing. I'll speak more to that on Sunday), Bruschetta Chicken, Paleo blueberry muffins + omelette's + bacon, Egg Basil Tomato Bacon Bake!
Also, a gal at work gave me a GREAT water infusing ideas, since I am not going to be consuming gum-- here are some of my favorites...
Blueberries & Orange:: promotes healthier skin and helps clean free radicals out of your system
Blackberry and Sage:: Supports total relaxation
I also snagged mint and ginger for some good deals & will add those to fruit to make more water infusions! I will keep you posted on these, I'm really looking forward to it!
Alright, I really gotta get my booty to the gym!
Blessings everyone,
