Day 9 of 21 (Hitting a low point)

>> Tuesday, February 3, 2009

Weight: 130 lbs

Lost so far: 6lbs

8:45am: Usual morning routine
I’m glad to see a half lb off but am disappointed that I haven’t gotten under 130 as yet. I think I need to increase my evening exercise. Need to keep my chin up and keep doing what I’m doing. I’ll get there! I’m still a bit sore from the exercise so I’m sure that is also a factor – could be holding onto toxins that need to get released somehow.

1pm: Live juice – nicer that yesterdays and green drink (I still don’t like that)
Just looking at the calendar. Feb 15 would be day 21, seems far away but I can do it! Only 12 days left!! I miss sandwiches for lunch…. But I’m looking forward to my curry soup tonight.

9pm
Well I’m wrecked and not in a good mood! Did a 15 min workout interrupted about 10 times by Darragh. Its too late to work out at 8:45pm but can’t do it before then or I’m not spending tiem with the kids etc etc. having a hard time staying the course even though I’m practically half way there. Not sure I can do this for 10 more days but am very disappointed that I can’t seem to lose any more weight. Time to give up today and get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.

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!
