Weigh in day, and I gotta say, I was dreading it after last weekend's fiasco of Unconscious Decadence. And yet, I lost another .5 lbs--down to 133.5! I really have been back in the saddle since Tuesday, and was not horribly indulgent on Monday (ok, yeah, I had TWO cookies, but I was very good otherwise) with my food.
And while I am pleased to see the numbers on the scale and happy with how my clothes fit, I know that this diet is more about a total approach to health, and I must now focus on getting more water in, sleeping a bit more (damn those 4 am hot flashes!) and taking some conscious relaxation time. Oh Yeah, and COUNTING THE ORAC point EVERY DAY!
Here was yesterday
6 oz lemon water
1/2 cup 2% organic milk
500 2 tsp almond butter
400 1 slice 7 grain bread
1 mug coffee
3500 1/2 tsp cinnamon
7100 1 granny smith apple
2500 10 pecan halves
800 butter leaf lettuce salad with
7000 artichoke hearts
800 red bell pepper
500 red cabbage
200 4 oz chicken with 1 T artichoke pesto
100 2 tsp balsalmic
100 2 tsp olive oil
1800 1/2 tsp oregano
500 1/2 c red bell pepper
2500 10 pecans
1/2 non fat milk
2700 chai tea
3500 1/2 tsp cinnamon
200 4 oz chicken w 1 T artichoke pesto
3800 1 cup broccoli steamed
800 1 c celery root cauliflower soup
16 oz water
2000 handful dried cranberries and wasabi peas
16 oz lemon water
2800 .5 oz 85%dark chocolate
36,000 ORACS plus!
This would be a pretty typical day except often I have fish and blueberries and I don't have chocolate daily.
I think I am pretty on target with my ORACs as I tend to stick with high value nuts, fruits and vegetables and herbs and spices!
Aaaaannnd--it's Friday! another weekend of challenges!
