BEGIN LIFESTYLE CHANGE TODAY - EATING CLEAN

SO, the juice fast went pretty well, although I was only able to replace 1 or 2 meals with juice per day because of the migrane headache that I suffered that first day.

I continued to eat healthy, trying to stay away from sweets and fatty foods with very good results.  I tried to stay away from my vanilla frozen yogurt and chocolate sauce but not very much success,  I cheated.

So Tara (my daughter) and I decided that today will be the start of our eating clean and heavy work out.

With my grocery list, I headed down to Trader Joes and got some stuff that I can't get from a regular grocery store.  I ended up with some nice Mahi-Mahi fish immediately frozen from Alaska as well as some cod fish.  I also grabbed some quinoa, brown basmati rice and brown wild rice.

It was close to lunch but I was hungry so I just had about 5 crackers with some pine nut and garlic hummus.  It tied me over until I got done preparing lunch.

So, for breakfast I had a 1/2 c. steel cut oatmeal with some raisins and cut up a small fuji (sweet) apple and 2 tbsp of peanut butter with a cup of coffee. Total 222 calories.






For lunch, I sautéed some garlic, chopped onions, and ground turkey.  Then I used some Dash lemon pepper spice but I also added pepper.  I added 1/4 of a packet of Onion Soup mix for more flavor.  Then I cut a greek pita bread in half, toasted it in the toaster oven.  I spooned about 1/4 cup of the turkey mix on the toasted pita bread, topped with about 3 tbsp. of lite sour cream and about 1/4 c. of kale on the side for greens.  It was fantastic!  Total 265 calories.


Sorry no post for dinner, I had leftovers.  45 minutes of yoga if you are interested on what workout I did.

Enjoy in the meantime.
