Wasted day..

Today was a good day diet wise, but it seemed to go so quick and I hardly left the house (only to the butchers down the road.. Oops!)

Is started the day with a smoothie of a whole small pineapple and some chia and flax and beetroot powder and coconut milk.

Lunch was scrambled egg with spring onions and the leftover raita from the other night with some cucumber to dip.

Snack - half a honeydew melon blended with some filtered water

For my dinner I had a baked sweet potato and bolognaise style mince. (I have some of this left so will either have it for dinner tomorrow or the next day either with roast veg or with spelt pasta, which I am yet to try)

Snack - fruit and nut 9 bar, it was ok but I need to start baking and being a little more adventurous to see if I can come up with something better.

Thanks for reading

Curry night :-)

I weighed myself this morning and saw results.. finally (I say finally I have only been doing the plan properly since 31st July) 3.5lbs loss :-)

I am looking to lose 20lbs minimum.

Today I started the day with a fruit smoothie made with a little greek yogurt, almond milk and some chia, flax and beetroot powder.

Lunch was some tomato and pepper with baked chevre goats cheese and 2 poached eggs. Lush! I smoothed some of the goats cheese on a spelt cracker and put tomato on, gorgeous!

For dinner I made a chicken curry, the sauce split a little as the other half was late home from work and it had been cooking for too long. Alongside I made red lentil dal, saffron basmati rice, onion and cucumber raita with cucumber and tomato.

Yum yum, but im very full now, was a little jealous of the other halfs naan bread to dip in the dal.

A detox day at work

Another successful..ish detox day, this time at work

I was very good, I started the day earlier than normal and sat down to scrambled eggs and a banana milkshake with coconut milk, a tsp of chia and flax and a tsp of beetroot powder.. delicious!
This may sound a lot but on Saturdays I am on my feet all day and I don't take lunch until 2.30, I am usually starving by 12pm though!

Success I didn't get hungry until about 2pm :-) I had my lunch at about that time, Fruit salad which consisted of blueberries, kiwi, peach and nectarine. I also packed a greek salad with tomato, cucumber, green pepper, feta and lemon and salt&pepper, again it was very nice, but I couldn't help but think a sandwich and a bag of crisps would have been more enjoyable.

Dinner was wheat free pasta and homemade bolognaise sauce with one spelt cracker and a dollop of my homemade aioli.

For a snack I split a 9 bar with my partner and had a smoothie which consisted of coconut milk, mango, strawberries, pineapple, melon and orange - YUM! :-D

Hoping for some sort of weight loss my Monday, but to be honest that's not really the point of detox but it would be a nice little bonus!

A successful detox day

Whoopee! I did well today.. I think!

I started the day with a mango

Most of my day has been spent cleaning, tidying and walking into town to collect shopping.

Lunch was tuna with my home made aioli and cucumber, lettuce & tomato.

For an afternoon snack I had a peach, I also made myself a smoothie from coconut milk, flax and chia seeds, strawberries and a scoop of beetroot powder. I bought the beetroot powder today and its really nice and sweet, love it!

Dinner was butternut squash and cauliflower soup with a hint of chilli, again it was very nice! I started by roasting everything except for the cauliflower.

I had a trip to Holland and Barrett earlier as soup is nothing without a little something to dip in it. Anyway on juice plus I read that you can have spelt, so when I came across some spelt crackers I just had to have them! They do come with quite a price tag though, £2.99 for 6!
I spread a little butter on 2 of them and they were nice if not a little overly crunchy. :-)

For a snack I have just shared another of the above smoothies with my other half as I really liked it!

Off the subject of eating I got my 1 month trial of capsules and milkshake powder yesterday, so I may carry on with my detox until next Friday or the Monday after perhaps, depends on how well I do..

I am looking forward to starting the supplements as I have heard good things, my friend who is taking them has said she has so much more energy than she did prior to using the supplements, she has said after taking it for 2 weeks is when she starting feeling better, fingers crossed this works out. and technically its not a diet, its a lifestyle as all im doing is eating cleaner, im not counting calories or completely cutting out carbs or fat.
