day 26th Let's talk about detoxification!

Amazing chocolate drink! 

salt and vinegar ridges


For breakfast I had the crispy cereal with a little cinnamon

For lunch I had the left over cabbage soup and a chocolate drink . THe chocolate drink is amazing the best hot chocolate drink ever. It has a great texture no chalkiness just pure creamy chocolate.

For super I went out with friend so I had the salt and vinegar chips before going out for supper and they are amazing. I've  never really been and salt and vinegar chip kind of girl. But these taste buttery and then a touch of vinegar. and they have a great crunch!

FOr super I had a Chicken ceasar salad and I asked for the dressing on the side. I used the lemon as my dressing and it was pretty good I would have had a little more chicken but I was very happy with to go out with my friends and have a nice meal out!

Last night I start the ideal protein detox.
It is going pretty well the drink taste great! The program is made for ridding the body of toxins helping the liver, kidney and the intestines.

The NoviCure general cleansing program is  a balanced program that eliminates toxins and undesirable substances from the body. NoviCure consists of three products.
NoviPur, A cleansing liquid that contains several depurative plants. It purifies the body by helping it to flush out toxins.

NoviRenal, a diuretic that promotes elimination of liquid waste. It cleanses and supports the kidneys and the entire urinary tract.
NoviLax is a cholagogue that promotes the flow of the bile into the intestine, where it is eliminated naturally. Its laxative effects reduces flatulence occasional constipation and bloating.

SIgns that your body needs detoxification
A body that needs detoxification may suffer from various symptoms, such as:

Depression
constipation
arthritic and rheumatic pain
weak digestion
acne
lack of resistance to bacteria and viruses
nervousness
excessive perspiration
irritability and lethargy

I am excited to try this out. My legs were pretty sore this morning which is were toxins are deposited mostly trying to get as far away from the heart as possible. When you lose weight the fat in the body releases toxins and they stay in the body. This treatment is a great way to eliminate the toxins and helps support your body to continue with weight loss!

Have a great day!

Day 24 the BIG SKINNY!

I went to the library yesterday and found an awesome comic book. It's called the Big SKINNY How I changed my fattitude. A memoir by Carol Lay.

This book is so great and funny! There's great information about cooking spray and it's a great positive and funny book! So I would recommend to you to go to your library or book store and check out what they have for inspirational books. In the month of January there's always a weight loss and diet / cookbooks section. This is were I found this comic book and I am really enjoying this read!

Back to the food!

For super I had left overs salad from lunch with 3 boiled eggs. Yummy !

For my snack I had the peach mango juice :) 
The juice reminds me of childhood powdered drink but the one's my mother never bought because they had 2 cups of sugar in them :D THe juice is very sweet and fruity.

Day 23 Down 16.3 lbs Check out how!

crispy cereal with cinnamon

eggs and veggie stir fry sprouts are soo good!

cranberry pomegranate bar

So it's very nice to see the reward of the scale going down :D Especially when you see a whole different number on the scale. I've also notice my skin has become very soft and not lumpy even when I'm sitting down! I've really made a change in my mind that good food equals healthy person and I am really going to try to eliminate my old bad habits ( starch and sugars! I'm talking about eating like a savage with a bag of cookies). Bring on the Veggies!


For breakfast I had the crispy cereal with a touch of cinnamon i am really enjoying this breakfast! For years I would use a vanilla soy or almond milk with my cereal that has 14 gr of sugar per serving so I think It took me a while to like this cereal. Holly smokes that's a lot of sugar and I was using that on a cereal which may have healthy grains but that had ALOT of SUGAR for the morning plus a coffee Sky rocket blood sugar good morning insulin product hello fat deposit for what you think is a healthy breakfast!

For lunch I had the Broccoli and cheese soup. I brought the wrong container of veggies but it was broccoli so a cooked it up and mixed it up in my soup very filling!

For Super I had boiled some eggs and had the left over stir fry from yesterday. I will be getting bean sprouts again they were so yummy!I ate a little later than usual but I was not starving for it. I can get quite hangry sometimes!

For my Snack if you are a super sweet person this one's for you the cranberry pomegranate bar. I had to take a break it was so sweet! I always have a herbal tea with my snack I needed a tea break. The texture is soft and chewy it had a very berry flavour and of course the vanilla chocolate on top and bottom can't beat that!

Day 22 Thinking skinny and eating until I'm full!

cheese and herb omelette

chicken and veggie stir fry

dill pickle Zippers

Tuesday meals

Breakfast was a herb and cheese omelette. It has a great flavour! I've now mastered the cooking of the omelette perfect flip every time!

Lunch I had the  cream of chicken soup super tasty. With a salad left over from yesterday.

Super was roasted chicken with a veggie stirfry ( bok choy, sprouts, brocoli, celery and lots of garlic)

My snack was a real treat! Dill pickle zippers they were delicious! Beautiful dill herb! Crunchy little treats that take a while for finish and you are full when you're done. If your a flavoured chip lover this one you should definitely try! Think of dill ripple chips!

Couldn't rotate but you get the point right?

This is how I keep my meals organized (Breakfast,lunches,drinks and puddings)

I was to excited I forgot to take a picture... after the first bite yum!

Day 21 Feeling great my new boxing day clothing are feeling nice and loose especially since I bought some semi-tight clothing knowing I was going to be doing this adventure! Yoga tops that are supposed to be flowy..... are now Yahoo! I reward myself with work-out clothes and massages when I lose weight! It makes me motivated (Pretty shirt and great sneakers) and relaxed with my muscles de-stressed! Massage is wonderful for anyone especially when you're losing weight it helps you connect to your body! It's like a thank you for the hard work it's always doing! Katie Pertus is my massage therapist and she does a wonderful treatment and customizes to your needs and incorporates accupuncture in her treatments as well! Find her @ the be well spa 422-2767!

Breakfast was the crispy cereal with a little cinnamon super yum! It's fast  and has a great crunchy texture!

Lunch I had spaghetti bolognese and celery and finished with a dill pickle!

Super was large salad  with yellow peppers and tomatoes and boiled eggs I had 3 but I'm still trying to figure out how many oz are in one large hard boiled egg 1.8 oz. So I could have 4 that seems like a lot but 3 suited me just fine yesterday!

My snack I had the chocolate peanut bar it was good but I just remembered I wasn't supposed to have that with the spaghetti! Bad coach bad! The texture was sticky chocolate on top with a nutty granola texture under with a chocolate coating on the bottom Very GOOD! Will learn for next time. I wasn't thinking!

Tomorrow I weight in so I will let you know were I am at!

Have a great day

The secret art of inviting happiness (something personal)

I wanted to share something a little personal to me. I've studied Reiki a Japanese technique for healing since 2007 and there are principles that are very simple that I have used that I find helps reduce stress and anxiety.                                              

                                                          The 5 Usui Principles

The secret art of inviting

Happiness,

The miraculous medicine

For all diseases.

At least for today:

Do not be angry,

Do not worry,

Be grateful,

Work with diligence,

Be kind to people.

Every morning and

Evening, join your hands

In meditation and pray with your heart.

State you mind and chant with your mouth.

For improvement of mind and body.
