Day 3

So far, so good. I slept fantastic, which is rare for me. I woke up with my stomach feeling flatter than normal and my skin clearing up. It's a good day.

Breakfast:

Green Smoothie as usual, but I added a wedge of cabbage today and left out the berries. Still very good.  Obviously what I make fills up more than this little glass. I drink it all each morning through, sometimes over an hour or two time period.

PH Level: 6.5

 

Lunch:

 

Melon Chiller: (Very simple and absolutely delicious!)

• 1/4 honey due melon
• 1 cup ice (blend enjoy)

 

Nut burger (directions on yesterday's notes)

• Topped with lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, and mustard, then wrapped in a mustard green. (a new favorite!)
  

Kale Salad in a prettier bowl. ;) I also added cold pressed olive oil and lemon juice this time.

Dinner:

Vegetable Sushi:

• cucumber, carrot, zucchini, and squash sticks with avocado cubes wrapped in seaweed. 
• Amino Acids on the side (tastes like soy sauce and aids in muscle development)

Nut Pate'

• This is the same mix from the burgers, without the flax seed, and with more water.
• Served with cucumber sticks.

Note: I'm noticing I am not as hungry as I was the first 2 days. I definitely see how this could lead to eating less. I did not need snacks today at all, which is good, because this is taking up a lot of my time!! But I'm convinced as I get used to things, it will get faster. I've been scouring cook books for ideas...though I keep altering them inevitably. Plus I really hate eating the same thing every day, so I have a hard time making something that will last a few days. Instead, I have been trying to mix it up by making the same thing a few different ways. This saves some time. I'm worried about what to do for work tomorrow. I obviously cannot devote the same amount of time to my diet at work as I can at home. I'm going to have to think about it...sigh. Right now I'm focused on the desert I have planned for tonight. Now just to become hungry again! Crazy...

Desert:

Almond butter fudge with fresh fruit:

I made this a few days ago and I can't remember what was in it beyond almond butter, whole walnuts, cacao powder, agave, and likely raw sugar. Regardless, it was really quick. I think it took about 5 minutes to mix it all together and then refrigerate. I suppose I could have made it prettier and cut it into squares, but I wasn't thinking of taking pictures at the time.
