What I Ate

1.9.08
Exercise--- 100 crunches
Breakfast---Blueberry Smoothie
Lunch---Fruit scones broken up into a bowl like cereal, almond milk and a few dried blueberry’s on top, because I was in a super big hurry.
Dinner—Big Salad
Snack—Homemade Lavender Berry sherbet---not sugar, super yummy
5 -16 oz glasses Alkaline Ionized water total for the day.

1.10.07
Breakfast---A bowl of fresh cherries. Tastes great, and they are of course raw. My concern is that they are full of natural sugar and no protein, so they may give me short-term energy but not lasting energy like the almonds in the blueberry smoothie would.
Snack—Carrot Dill crackers and humus, Orange—More natural sugar Notice I needed a snack before lunch, which isn’t typically the case.
Lunch---Claim Jumper restaurant, salad wit beets and lots of thousand island dressing and beef dip sandwich. Worse yet, I ate the whole sandwich when I normally only eat half. The sandwich had real bread, real beef and cheese, none of which are really diet foods and the extra thousand island had fat and sugar. Even the beets are high natural sugar. Probably not good choices but I’m human and it tasted good. Oh, I had two cups of decalf tea sweetened with Stevia.
Dinner—A frozen store bought burrito because it was convient and I forgot that I still have lots of the raw chili which would have been a much better choice. The burrito tasted really nasty. I also had 3 raw chocolate cover cherry cookies, which gave me the idea to experiment with a mint chocolate cookie recipe soon.

5 16 ounce glasses of Ionized water. I drink Ionized water because it helps clean out your cells. It's molecule size penetrates the cells better than regular water.

Over all, I had low energy all day. It could be because of what I ate or it could be because I started work at 5:30 am, or because it was an overcast day. Either way, I’m about results, and I think the food choices at least contributed to the low energy. Don’t want that. Will try not to do it again. So if the cherries and orange, which were natural and raw, had too much sugar and no protein to give me energy, what about the cereal that most of us feed our kids to start their day? No less than the third ingredient on the box.

Exercise 10 minutes on rebounder
Breakfast—1/2 Blueberry Smoothie
Lunch—Salad and six flour tortillas with honey butter and salsa. Ok, so the flour and honey butter wasn’t the best. 2 glasses Tropical ice tea sweetened with Stevia.
Didn’t get to drink enough water because I was away from home and didn’t take it with me.
It’s 10:00 p.m. and haven’t had dinner or a snack, been VERY busy all day and not hungry. Will have some nuts soon. Alright, I admit it, I never got to the nuts. It’s never good, when dieting to only eat two means. Never, never, never do it, you won’t lose weight. But I have a good excuse, I wrote 3 purchase offers yesterday.
