Well here we are, Happy August!!! I am officially on "Day One" of my herbal cleanse. I can say that I am more than ready for this opportunity and cannot wait to see my body transform. I am doing the full 24 day challenge and am pumped!! I love veggies and can eat a healthy diet, however I do tend to overeat on starches and sugars, so this will be a good test for me. I made sure to "live it up" these last few days...and quite honestly, I feel like crap!! haha
Monday I made this easy/yummy pasta dish. Diced up some onion, garlic, sauteed in a pan w/ EVOO, through in some organic chicken, seasoned with tomato basil pesto seasoning & pan searing flour, tossed in some sundried tomatoes, & artichokes. Boiled pasta, tossed together with a little cream cheese & fresh Parm.
Tuesday Joe grilled chicken, I threw some fries in the oven and steamed some organic broccoli. We dined outside, at home. Baby girl enjoyed a frozen banana in her mesh feeder!
And last night was a simple pasta bake w/ mushrooms, spinach, garlic, onion, organic hamburger meat & mozzarella cheese. It was fantastic.
I also parted ways with Pinot.
Normally I wouldn't eat pasta as much as I have, but I figured 'go big or go home.' Yeah, well this girl is happy to be eating salads, lean proteins, complex carbs and fruits these next few weeks.
So when I woke up today, I was ready to replace my coffee with SPARK.
And then chug my Fiber Drink. Everyone says how bad it is, so I expected the worst. Honestly? I expected it to taste horrible! While it isn't something I'd choose to drink just because, it really wasn't so bad at all. I know that it's not something I'll do every day, and it's just part of this regime. I'm totally fine with it.
So these next 10 days I will be "cleansing". I am going to be super strict about what goes into my body, and definitely be drinking enough water. I am excited to do Zumba tonight too!
My computer had a little virus, so that's why I haven't been able to blog much. No more news yet on my brain cyst issues...I will still be going Monday for a Neurologist appointment. [Thank you for all your kind words and support!!]
I am excited that we are going to go to Toronto!! It is a {mini} vacation for the three of us, and we are going to have so much fun. We are just going for a weekend, but we just love that fun city! There is so much to see and do. Even just walking around is awesome. I cannot wait.
