Ultra Simple Detox Day 3

No Coffee and no headache!
A little sluggish during the day. But I got through.
Made my smoothie for the morning.
Took my supplements.
Had lunch at my desk with rice and vegetables. I love the broth!!!
Broke down at 2PM and had an apple!!! I needed something to chew and eat!!
Left work a bit early and came home and made dinner.
I used coconut oil to saute my chicken and vegetables.
Had dinner with a cup of herbal tea and I am done for the day!
I will try a little Yoga later and the Detox Bath!
Better day today, but I can't wait for the week end.

Ultra Simple Detox Day 2

Only got up 15 minutes early, but I had done everything but my smoothie the night before.
I slept well. I drank my salad dressing in the morning, had my smoothie at work, herbal tea.
I had a cup of curried sweet potato soup, Dino Kale Salad with quinoa, avocado, almonds, cucumber, lemon cumin vinaigrette.
I also drank a smoothie.
Walked back from the Embarcadero in SF in sunny, crisp and a bit cold weather.
Worked with a headache all afternoon. Broke down and had a cup of coffee. Headache still present.
A bit more hungry today than yesterday.

January Challenge - Diet Cleanse - Nutriion Goals-

In January 2013,  I started working out with Amy Brennick - Personal Training after a 4 month absence- financial concerns only. But on my usual workout nights, I did absolute nothing. I didn't notice any weight gain. But I was a bit down for no real reason. Anyway, first week back with personal training- ok. My second week back, I thought I had the flu!!! I was so sore, it was crazy. Is that what happens to muscles when you don't use them. NOT good. Anyway, I am trying to get back into shape both physically and nutritionally!
I am also working with Amy's Saturday morning group. It is a 8 week challenge. And I had my first week! I am also working on diet detox. Back to eating better, especially after the holidays. The Detox is only 1 week.  I am trying to get a jump start and I am using the Mark Hyman- Ultra Simple Diet. I like simple, lists and checklists. What more could a girl ask for.
I started today after a cup of coffee with milk (NOT ON THE US PLAN) and a trip to Berkeley Bowl and $132.00 later including vitamins and supplements.
I made the Ultra Broth- Very expensive vegetarian broth, but did it taste good.
I spend an additional $75.00 at Costco. Frozen berry fruit, Protein Powder and blueberries.
I made a protein shake- but added Almond butter, KIWI and the almond milk - Loved it!
Made it through the day and I am going into the evening feeling good and not hungry. I have set my alarm clock to get up tomorrow and make the two protein shakes for the 2 day. I only had 1 today.
Passed the bathroom check - so I am good to go! 

Valentine's Day is coming and I did not make any Christmas Cards. So it is time to step it up.
I have been checking out blogs and I did a card based upon makeover Monday. I had a great time using their card as inspiration and what I had on hand!

Oakland A's Box

Got to go to Oakland A's game. We had BOX seats! It was great. We had so much fun watching the game in comfortable seats and a great view of the game. Right behind the pitcher!!
