Day 8

Why, helloooo and welcome back. Today is weigh in day and I have lost 2.5 lbs. That is a normal safe pace, so I'm OK with this. I would have also been OK with a 10 lb loss, but that is neither here nor there. Let's see, my measurement difference is minus 5.25, though REALLY SURPRISINGLY my stomach stayed the same. I'm not even sure this is possible considering that's one of the first things I noticed. I FEEL like it's flatter. How is that possible?? I'm confused, but willing to walk this out anyway. 5.25 inches gone with only a 2.5 pound loss...I'm going to say this is a water retention issue. Anyone who wants to agree with me, please do. If you want to disagree, you know, zip it. *big cheesy grin*

My PH level was near perfect again today, at 5.3. I feel good about that, at least. My energy levels are still good.*does a little dance* My skin however has not recovered...boo. 

Breakfast:


Green Drink:
  •  2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup honey due
  • 12 oz coconut water
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 frozen bananas

Coffee with raw almond milk and stevia (x2)

Lunch:

Green Salad:
  • Lettuce
  • Kale
  • tomato
  • cucumber
  • avocado
Dinner:

Avo Soup (By Stephen Arlin)
  • 2 large avocados
  • 1 medium cucumbers, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
  • Distilled water to desired consistency
  • 1 cup hopped zucchini
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Combine 1 to 1 1/2 avocados with the cucumber, tomato, and cilantro in a blender. Blend, adding distilled water to reach desired consistency and pour into a bowl. Chop the remaining 1/2 avocado into small cues and stir into the soup, along with the zucchini, corn, and onions.

Note: THIS SOUP SUCKS! My friend, Cheryl, and I both had this for dinner and spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out which spices would make it taste less bland. In the end, we found that it tasted best in the garbage disposal.

Btw, Cheryl came over tonight and smashed my Wii Fit Soccer score all over AGAIN. Sigh, it's gonna be a long night folks.
