Day 6 of 21 (Rolled back weight gain from Baby 3!)

>> Saturday, January 31, 2009

Weight: 130lbs
Lost so far: 6lbs

10:40: Green drink, cucumber & mint juice, tea, water
Having a tough morning, feeling a little negative and I'm probably being too sensitive... This is the first time that I am really focusing on myself while trying to tend to everyone else, and it probably takes a bit of getting used to from the family. And after carrying and delivering 3 babies, I deserve it. And I’m going to stick to it.

5:44pm: Green drink, other drink, water, cucumber & mint juice (delicious!)
Had a great day out with everyone at Shelburne Farms but didn’t get to eat on schedule so was a bit jaded. Off to have soup now.

8:48pm: Tea
Have the night time ritual done, did another great workout as Aedan watched along giggling. Even managed some pressups and sit ups. Still feel a bit flabby but hopefully exercise will kick start my metabolism.

The exfoliation brush is a great idea before the shower – finally picked one up today. Bet it helps after a few days…

I made it back into a pair of my favourite jeans from a year or more ago.....so I'm seeing progress, its a great feeling!

Detox Supplies

Juice of the Day

Carrot, Apple & Ginger

You will need: 1 apple, 3-4 carrots, and a slice of ginger.

Juice the apple and carrots and ginger slice in the juicer. Serve immediately!

Delicious!

This is a juice that I use as a baseline for other juices. To add more "power" try adding the following ingredients:

- Stick of Celery
- Handful of Alfalfa sprouts
- Some kale, spinach, other leafy greens


Soup of the Day - the healthy way!

Butternut Squash & Orange Juice

Split a butternut squash down the middle, and scoop out the seeds and set aside. Wash & dry and place on a baking tray. Place a tablespoon of orange juice in the cavity. Cover with foil and bake in a 375 deg. oven for about 45 mins - 1 hr. Test the flesh with a fork - when its soft, its done! Meanwhile, while the squash is cooking, wash the seeds, removing fibers of flesh, and place on a baking tray to dry. Remove baked squash from the oven and allow to cool. Pour the OJ into a blender, and scoop out all of the flesh into the blender, discarding the skins. Puree the squash, and then pour into a saucepan. Add about 6 cups of distilled or spring water (do not use tap water, as it contains chlorine etc which defeats your healthy mission). Bring to the boil and its ready to eat!

When the seeds have dried, bake them in the oven for 30 mins until roasted. Sprinkle on top of the soup and serve.

Enjoy!
