Friday Update

February 13, 2009

I am just dying to get on the scale! My clothes are still getting looser, and my lower stomach and waist are just deflating like crazy! I swear every day they look a little smaller.
But I’m glad I’m waiting… I know the number I will see on the scale when I do finally [...]

Thursday Evening Update

February 12, 2009

I love Thursday evenings – all of my favorite shows are on: Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.
Anyway, I went to Whole Foods and got my usual juice blend. I also stocked up on lots of veggies and fruit – all organic. I got:

2 kinds of bundled spinach, 1 bag of loose [...]

Quick Update

February 12, 2009

I woke up feeling pretty crappy today and still do. It’s clear from my symptoms that my body is detoxing from something again. What, exactly, I’m not sure. I’m sure it will pass soon though whatever it is! But I am extremely exhausted, achy and just blahhhhh.
The good news is that [...]

I'm A Nutritarian (Mostly)

February 12, 2009

Very interesting… if you follow this pyramid, you are officially a Nutritarian – someone who eats for optimal health and nutrients.
I pretty much follow the pyramid, except for that I still eat full-fat cheese at least 4-5 days a week and have chicken almost every day. And I do NOT eat beans or legumes. [...]

Wednesday Update

February 11, 2009

The enchiladas were yummy last night. I did wake up with a headache and indigestion this morning, but nothing major. As I mentioned in a comment on last night’s post, it’s a tradition for my younger sister and I to eat cheese enchiladas. We’ve been ordering them since we were children going [...]

Ugh

February 10, 2009

My sister and niece begged me to order Mexican food to be delivered tonight, (we are hanging out at my apartment tonight and it’s storming pretty badly out right now) so I did… I know I am going to regret eating it. I love the taste of Mexican food but it gives me [...]

Monday Update

February 9, 2009

My sense of smell remains heightened. I’m trying to get used to it… I did some online research, and found out that a lot of people who went vegetarian or vegan got this same phenomenon. More than likely it has to do with my super-healthy and clean diet. I shouldn’t be [...]

Heightened Sense Of Smell?

February 8, 2009

This is the weirdest thing to happen yet on my healthy clean-eating journey…
Today I went to Best Buy with my sister, her boyfriend and her daughter. And the strangest thing started happening. Every time I came in close contact with someone, I could smell their breath and body odor. Ick! [...]

Wow!

February 8, 2009

I can’t believe how flat my stomach is today… it’s pretty darn incredible! It’s flatter than it was when I weighed 11 pounds less than I do now, even!
I’m in the process of working on some new pages for this website, which should go live possibly tonight sometime.
Here’s my meal plan for the day:

Breakfast: [...]

Quick Saturday Update

February 7, 2009

Scale was down another 1.2 pounds today… body fat % stayed the same, oddly enough, although I walked for 3 hours yesterday and ate lightly. I’ve been sticking mostly to 2 meals with a couple of small snacks. It seems to suit me better than 3 meals, especially since I tend to eat [...]

Cleansing My Body Of Toxins

February 6, 2009

So, I’m still doing the same thing I’ve been doing… felt pretty good today for the most part. Still going through sporadic detox-like symptoms, which is completely normal. From what I have discovered through extensive research (and experience!), when a person switches to a nutrient-dense, clean diet, their body goes through cycles to [...]

Later Update

February 4, 2009

^^^My lunch today. (Eating as I type this, in fact). Blackberry phones take terrible photos for some reason. It’s SableFish (black cod), cooked spinach, and a salad made with: romaine lettuce & herbs, colored bell peppers and tomatoes. I have come to absolutely LOVE the herb romaine lettuce mix. The [...]

Super-Quick Update

February 4, 2009

I bought another new scale last night that supposedly measures body fat % (through the foot), water % and weight.
I got on it today to see my body fat %.
I didn’t like what I saw. It’s official – my weight, body fat % and BMI are all in the “overweight” range. Thank GOD [...]

Tuesday Update

February 3, 2009

I got some more wild Alaskan fish delivered to me via Fedex this morning… this time I ordered some sable fish (or black cod) plus some smoked honey white king salmon fish strips. It all looks delicious! I plan to try the sable fish tonight for dinner.
I got a puzzling comment on my [...]

Later Update

February 2, 2009

So, I got on the scale this evening and the 1.5 pounds were gone, as well as another half pound. Who knows what’s going on with the water weight thing, but all of my current-sized pants are literally swimming on me. As a matter of fact, I cannot recall a time when these [...]

Monday Morning Update

February 2, 2009

I am ill this morning… pretty bad stomach pain and cramping.
It seems to be detox symptoms or something. I don’t know… the pain has lessened a little after taking some Advil, but earlier it was so bad I could barely sit in front of the computer.
I was also 1.5 pounds up on the scale [...]

Sunday Night Update Ramblings

February 1, 2009

Well I gave in to my cheeze-it cravings… I bought one of those mini-boxes at the local Quick Trip. Strangely enough, they just didn’t taste the way I thought they would. They didn’t taste nearly as good as my cravings led me to believe they would taste. So I didn’t eat very [...]
