Day 2 (2-22-11)

So, this morning I woke up early and my stomach hurt a lot, and I went to the bathroom and then went back to bed, and when I woke up again my stomach felt a lot better. My stomach has been hurting all weekend, and I was worried it would never stop, but I think that just one day of doing this diet (almost the way I am supposed to) helped to clean out whatever was making my stomach hurt. So that is a great thing in my opinion, hopefully it will stay that way. :)

I don't have a scale at my house, so I will be going to my mom's house on the weekends and weighing myself there so that I use the same scale every time. Yesterday I weighed in at 186.6 lbs. So that is my starting weight. I am supposed to weigh between 115 and 145 lbs. So this is my goal to be a healthy weight. I want to start having children but right now my body is not in good enough shape to make that possible. So I am hoping that by changing my diet and with my doctor's help, we will be making that announcement soon. :) So keep your fingers crossed for me. :)

Today I woke up and drank a Long Life Cocktail

Then I went on a 20 minute walk and stretched before and after.

Before breakfast I drank 8 oz of hot water with the juice of half a lemon.

Then I made myself a Strawberry smoothie* for breakfast. :)

I ate a hard boiled egg for a snack on the way to work

20 minutes before lunch I drank 8 oz more Cran water

For lunch I made myself a Salad with baby spring mix with half of a yellow bell pepper, 2 small mushrooms chopped up and some cayenne pepper and Albacore Tuna (4 oz). And I put a half Tbsp of flaxseed oil for the "dressing". I am going to have to go and get some Apple Cider Vinegar to use also because this is not the best way to eat a salad. FYI

Then I drank 16 oz of Cran water

&

I ate 1 mandarin orange around 4:00 pm.

For dinner I had a Dion's salad of spring mix pastrami and mozzerrela cheese. And I had the flaxseed oil for dressing again.

before dinner I drank another 8 oz of Cran water and a Long Life Cocktail. :)

*Smoothie recipe

1 cup frozen strawberries

2 heaping Tbsp whey protein powder

8 oz Cran water

1 Tbsp Flaxseed oil

1/4 tsp Stevia (sweetener)

-> this was too much at the beginning, but I think I need to give it more time to sit before I start drinking because as I got to the end of the smoothie it wasn't as sweet and weird tasting. This just takes some experimentation to get the portions right. :)

I put all of this in the blender in this order and then blended it on the Smoothie setting until it was the consistency that I wanted.
