Day Two

5:30:  hit the snooze for an extra ten minutes of sleep and then heard Louis shrieking. He always gets up in the morning and talks for a bit before going back to sleep for another hour, but he never wakes up screaming. I ran in to get him thinking something must be wrong. Nope. He just wanted up. No workout AND no extra sleep. Bummer.

I also skipped my hot water and lemon. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

7:00:  green smoothie

This was better today. I added more water to thin it out and blended it up longer. There were less chunks and the smooth texture helped. I also added ice so it was nice and cold. Do I love them? No. I will continue to drink them until my kale is gone though. Next week I may move on to another recipe. 


8:00:   watched Louis drink "pink" milk and eat french toast and apples at daycare for our Valentine Breakfast. I managed to not grab one for myself, but that maple syrup smelled wonderful!

9:00:   detox tea

10:30:  clementines, water 

12:30:  roasted veggies, water 

I couldn't do a salad today.The negative side to following another woman's plan, is that I would personally like to eat on my salads. Tonight I'm stopping at the store and stocking up on tomato, cucumbers and mushrooms. I think this will make me MUCH more excited for my upcoming lunches. It's not pizza, but it's something!


A much needed nap. The beauty of my job is that I didn't have meetings this afternoon so I went to the grocery store after lunch and came home. It means I'll start my grading when Louis goes to bed and be up late tonight, but it's a fair switch.

3:30:    a couple of dates, water 

6:00:    butternut squash and apple soup, water
Apparently Louis and Nevin had leftover pizza without me last night, so for Valentines Day I made them spaghetti and heart shaped garlic bread. 

While I cooked for them, I made my soup. Cooking and eating wasn't tempting but cleaning up after the meal took a lot of willpower. There's something about stealing a noodle and dipping it in sauce as you put things away, but I resisted. It was even harder to resist the giant cookies my mom sent for a Valentine's Day present! 

Louis and Nevin shared one though and I will be freezing mine. 

You better believe I will eventually be relishing in one of those! Louis was sad his was gone (we stole half of it back when he wasn't looking). I'm sad I don't get mine until March...

Things I'm thinking today:

Still not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be.

I miss substantial meals.

I gave Nevin a card today that said, "I love you more than coffee." After the last two days, that's really saying something!

I'm already getting sick of veggies. I love them, but I need someone to come whip up something new and exciting for me!
