Spring Reboot week 2 - day 5 to 9

Well, my daily journal got a bit boxed, but not my reboot.

Last Friday day 5 I weighted in at 70.70kg and did well all day BUT got invited over to a friend's house for dinner and managed to have my juice, some celery with homemade hummus, some mixed salad and, this was the mistake, 2 slices of toasted bread with tomato and spanish ham. God it was so delicious, but believe or not the next morning I weighted in at 71.6kg.
Come on it's not as if I've eaten 900 grams for dinner, but I believe it's fluid retention or similar.
I have discovered that lunch more or less I can have anything, but dinner has to be extremely light, even when not rebooting

Day 6 - Saturday, liquids all day again
Carrot/ginger/apple for breakfast
Pepper Gazpacho for lunch
Green juice for dinner

Day 7 - Sunday, not bad all together...
Sweet Potato Juice  for breakfast
mixed salad and some pasta with tomato for lunch
Carrot/Ginger/Apple juice for mid afternoon snack (and a piece of homemade apple cake)
Cilapple juice for dinner
Spent the whole day at home as kids got a stomach bug from the kids of the friends we went to see on Friday (not people to hang out with: give bugs and make me skip diet)

Day 8 - Monday, the bug got me
so spent the day on ginger and lemon water, then got hungry mid afternoon and had a small bowl of pasta with tomato sauce and a piece of apple cake
went to bed and slept 12 hours to recover

Day 9 - Tuesday, on my feet again
breakfast: small glass of my kids breakfast pink smoothie
lunch: lentil soup and bowl of pasta with pesto, asparagus and zucchini
dinner: vegetable soup

The ORANGE juice that cheered me up

When I woke up this morning I wasn't depressed, but haven't been feeling my best in the last week.

The temperaturas have dropped and my body took some time to adjust, so I kept feeling hungry, kindda sad and cold.

I had been trying to get back on truck onto juicing (and failed), tried with Beck's with some of my fav for lunch (and failed, as I kept having too much) and as a result the scale was showing an increase of 100/200 grams every day, instead of loosing them.

So I decided to switch from smoothie or fruit salad for breakfast to fruit juice and the result was amazing, only after 10 minutes of drinking it, I felt better, I felt full and moreover I felt happy.

Now, most of you will ask: what exactly did you put in that juice???

Well simple and easy:

3/4 of a pinapple (I left the rest for my son's afternoon snack)

1 Golden Apple

8 carrots

Throughout the rest of the morning I kept feeling full and happy, also not so cold as I put on an extra layer of clothes (couldn't care less if I looked bloated, as was nice and warm). 

I kept drinking wáter and got back the nice feelings you get on the raw food diet: power, energy, fullness that I recently experienced on the last liquid only detox that I did early in the month between New Year's and the 3 Kings, when I lost 2 kg in 4 days that I had put on over a 4 days long weekend. For lunch I had a

TOMATO ROCKET SALAD:

1 beef tomato

5 cherry tomatoes

5 sundried tomatoes (in oil)

10 black olives

1/4 red onion

2 hadfuls of rocket

parsley, oregano, olive oil and balsamic vinegar

It's one of my favourite salads and when not detoxing I add 1/2 can of red kidney beans.

After making the juice this morning I got down to clean the juicer and the left over pulp looked very appalling so I put it in a box and took it with me to work.

I added some oatmeal, chia seeds and cinnamon poder making it a very healthy and money saving snack . I could only eat half of it, so that it's in the fridge ready for tomorrow

Now it's nearly dinner time, I had a tea a while ago and I feel absolutely great and ready for

DINNER consisting of Green Juice:

6 carrots

3 cucumbers

8 celery sticks with leaves

so hopefully am back on track for good #StartClean2013 and #HealthysELF

And how are you doing?
