Day 14 of 21 (Getting closer to my target weight!)

>> Sunday, February 8, 2009

Weight: 126.5
Lost so far: 9.5 lbs

It was great to see the scales this morning!! Yes, I’m getting there.

Its getting a little hard to do the diet in reality. I’m feeling a little more hungry this weekend, but I think weekends are harder than weekdays anyway as there is more time to think about things and you have to cook for the family etc.

Only 7 more days to go! I can do it!! I’ve got a kidney detox today and will head in for a swim & sauna.

I'm trying to take "me" time as well if I can. Detox bath didn’t work out so well in cold water last night!! But will have to incorporate that into my usual routine as the water felt good.

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!
