LIW +3.2
Overnight gain 2.2

Here is my menu for the day before – this is what I ate:

Breakfast: broccoli salad
Lunch: bagel and cream cheese, chips and salsa
Dinner: blue cheese salad with broccoli, spinach, pecans, evoo and balsamic, grilled chicken
Snacks: left over pizza, french fries, pepperoni, beer

A total of 2333 cals divided: 119 fat grams (45%), 167 carb grams (28%), 68 protein grams (11%)

No green smoothies yesterday, – and I went a little nuts on eating some french fries last night, and I am assured that this is the gain. I didn’t even like them, it was one of those “no one else is gonna eat them so I should because I don’t want them to go to waste” things. It was awful, seriously, I don’t know what I was thinking, and I knew I would pay for it today, and I did. Sadly. UGH

Drinking lots of water today and I intend on getting at least two green smoothies in for the day. Actually as I write this, I have already gotten one green smoothie down, so all I need to do is come up with another one.

Only time for an update today. I have a new program that hopefully will allow me to get back on schedule with my blogging, but it will take a few days to get used to it. So give me a bit of time to get that under my belt and I should be back to normal.

Normal? What is that?

On to my commenter’s – these are my responses to yesterday’s comments:

Jan - yeah, isn’t it amazing that we already eat the raw, just think what we are eating in raw with the fruit alone!

Becca – thanks girlfriend!

Tracey - I am so sorry that you won’t be able to join the challenge with us. But I’m sure there are people out there that would love to be able to have a clean out every time they ate raw. LOL

B - my point exactly! Yes, I believe that if we did eat more salads that the fiber that you get from eating it will benefit you.

Shelley - just let me know what you want to do about the raw food challenge as I’ll probably be doing it another week. So you can join in!!! It will be so much fun!

Mary - yeah, I ate a bagel yesterday! Actually, I have been eating bagels for awhile. And believe me when I tell you it wasn’t the bagel that gained the weight, it was in the demon french fries!

LIW +1.0
Overnight LOSS 0.2

Here is my menu for the day before – this is what I ate:

Breakfast: coffee with half and half, leftover greek salad
Lunch: bagel and cream cheese
Dinner: broccoli salad
Snacks: 2 green smoothies, ground beef with blue cheese, chips and salsa, wine

A total of 2174 cals divided: 91 fat grams (37%), 204 carb grams (36%), 129 protein grams (24%)

And let me tell you, raw is definitely agreeing with me! YES! I am starting already to feel the benefits (particularly the bathroom benefits!), especially energy. Although, I can’t be sure if the energy level is just because it’s SPRING and I feel the sun shining and the wind through my hair!

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I am still not on schedule, and I only have time for an update. Geesh, this is starting to irritate me something fierce.

On to my commenter’s – these are my responses to yesterday’s comments:

B - Look at the calorie and fat count on both, I don’t see why not? Try it and see?

Becca - Hmmmm, ok, that sounds like a plan, coming up with some new dips! You know I love a challenge!

Shelly - WOOT! Come on Shelly! Join me!

Liz – sent you an email.

LIW +1.2
Overnight LOSS 0.8

Here is my menu for the day before – this is what I ate:

Breakfast: coffee with half and half, cottage cheese with mango/strawberries
Lunch: ground beef, blue cheese and raw hazelnuts
Dinner: greek salad, chicken stir fry
Snacks: 1.5 green smoothies – coconut bark – raw broccoli with blue cheese dressing

A total of 1842 cals divided: 91 fat grams (44%), 144 carb grams (29%), 123 protein grams (27%)

I am SO THRILLED! I am gonna tell you right now, these smoothies are FILLING! I am sipping on one right now – not as good as the one yesterday, but I am experimenting, and so wanna try different ones until I settle in on some that I like the best:

• 6.8 oz apple (skin still on, but cored)
• 5.8 oz pear (skin still on, but cored)
• 3 oz spinach
• 1/2 cup plain all natural yogurt

Now this one, in comparison to yesterdays, made a TON more – I could fill one of my glass water glasses yesterday with what I made, today, it looks like I will be able to fill this same water glass TWICE. I think I will like the ones made with banana a lot better than the ones made with yogurt, but like I said, I am experimenting.

I wanted to get into “SuperFoods” today, but I am running out of time. Now that spring has sprung, I am finding it harder and harder to get computer work done. I want to spend all of my time outside! And I just haven’t gotten my clock regulated back to Eastern Time since I got back from California. I am used to being up at like 4am and then there is plenty of time for me to work on my blog, but lately, I have been getting up at around 5:45am – 6:00am, just in time to wake the kids and get them going, and my day too!

I am just gonna have to figure out a better schedule. I miss my profound posts. I miss my blogging alot. I have so much to share inside this head of mine, and the time just keeps escaping me – give me time to figure out what my spring / summer schedule is gonna be like. I will get up to par, I promise.

Even at over 1800 calories, which is my BMR (with sedentary activity), I lost .8 lbs. What do you think about that? I am thrilled!

On to my commenter’s – these are my responses to yesterday’s comments:

JLO - Oh yeah, raw spinach!!! Do you have any idea what that is doing for your VISION???

Liz - Drop me a line when you get a chance and I will lead you thru the process of putting the link on your blog! Excellent!!!

B - LOL – hey, like I tell my kids all the time, all I want you to do is TRY!

Becca - Yeah, I am starting to keep more and more raw veggies around here just to snack on, they are SO good! I need to discover some new, cool dips for them, got any suggestions?

Mary - Thanks girl!

Jan - Hey, you can do the challenge while on P2 as well ya know? You don’t have to do smoothies, but you can concentrate on 50% of your food being raw, what do you think?
