Day 12 & Thirteen!!!!

Hello All! Sorry about not writing last night, I was having a rough evening and needed some "me" time. I am back today, having a great day! :-) I will post pictures from what I had yesterday, just so everyone can know what I ate. I did go and get my blood drawn yesterday, and am waiting for the results to get back. So, for lunch/dinner I made this:

2 Apples

1/2 Sweet Potato

1/2 Squash

1/4 Tomato

1 Kiwi

3 Leaves of Spearmint

1/2 Mango

3/4 Orange

4 Carrots

I was really good, made enough for 2 glasses that lasted me the whole night. The Spearmint gave it a little minty cool blast as an after taste. :-) 

Moving on! So, today I woke up in a much better mood and feeling better than I had in days. I got up and took care of puppy morning business and then went to go weigh myself.... I lost 2 pounds!!! I am now sitting at 190.8 pounds and very very happy with it! That is 12lbs in 12 days! :-) Eating my greens as an evening meal are definitely helping and showing improvement in my weight loss! So, happy as a clam, I decided to make my juice simple this morning but hopefully enough Vitamin C kick to eliminate this sinus cold once and for all! :-)

4 Oranges

2 Kiwi

1 Apple

It was good and gave me a bump in energy as well. I drank the 2 glasses I made straight through lunch time. Cleaned and picked up around the house, played with the dogs, and then decided to invite my niece over for the night to help me out with moving some furniture, putting together some furniture, and a little bit of cleaning duties. (she was grounded due to grades, so I had to take all the fun stuff out :-( ) So I went over there and visited for a while and then drove back home to make dinner. 

I decided to let her choose what kind of a juice we had with our little salad. She is a vegetarian by choice and has been for almost over a year now, an accomplishment in itself for a 14 year old teenage girl! So, she was happy with dinner choice, I had bought her some vegetarian chicken nuggets to put on top of her salad, and she was super excited to be the creator of our juice for the night. 

2 Bananas (Added in with the Smoothie Part)

1 Mango

2 Peaches

1 Apple

1/4 Lemon

1/4 Watermelon

We blended it into a smoothie with the bananas and a splash of coconut water. It was amazing! It also was a great pair up with the home-made Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette topped salad that I made. I had used some strawberry juice that I juiced and the pulp from that, mixed it with balsamic vinegar and Viola! Home-made salad dressing! :-) I then made a salad of spinach, romaine, and iceberg lettuce with chopped tomato, cucumber, sliced strawberries marinated in balsamic vinegar, and topped hers with vegetarian chicken nuggets. It was amazing! Best dinner I have had so far!

  

Well I am off to spend time with my niece and get this house into the shape I want it to be! Hope everyone has a great night! See you tomorrow night!
