Day 16 of 21 (gaining weight....sigh)

>> Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Weight: 126.5
Lost so far: 9.5lbs


Ah another lb up….. the 125 is alluding me…. Hopefully I’ll get there. I need to do some exercise tonight as I didn’t do any last night – besides a few rounds on the stairs. Not a great start to the morning again – difficult to juggle what I need to do for me and the kids in the morning. Darragh & Aedan were up early which made it tough. Plus extra cleanses this week – kidney cleanse this morning – which adds more pressure.

I'm at work having tea now so can relax….Only 5 days to go – I CAN DO IT!!!

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!
