Cleansing Blog

I did paint a picture this weekend, but more than that, I actually went above my normal self and I help some one out. I am trying very hard to be more sensative to others needs, but at the same time listen to my own. I think I missed out on my true needs this weekend, other than cleansing, once again I feel I have let myself down. Lets look at my diet

Friday - Junk food night

Friday I ate nothing but junk food and watched movies. I felt bad, but in a way I didnt care, I felt I needed this.

Saturday

I woke up late and didn’t really eat until 3PM, at which point I had a bowl of cereal. In the evening I went out with friends and had a few drinks, and on the way home I ate fast food. My weekends need to be in more control.

Sunday

I feel Sunday was my best day, I woke up at about 1PM, I ate an omelet, and for dinner we had cooked veggies, and home made hamburgers.

I really notice that I have a hard time having a movement when I eat fast food over eating veggies and good foods. There is actually a huge difference in the way I feel the next day, even the next day after drinking the night be for. I actually felt bloated, and I feel this has carried over to today. I am going to cleanse with Oxy-Powder today and try to get some relief from this feeling.

My diet - Part one

” I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don’t know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.”
Christopher Reeve

Speaking of that voice in the back of my head, I feel I let myself down last night. I have been a little stressed from work and just every day life, I broke down and went off my diet last night. At least I didn’t go over board though, I can still maintain and keep on truckin.

Breakfast 8:45AM

1 small bowl of oat meal ( I threw in some mixed nuts and raisins)

1 apple

1 20 oz glass of water

Snack 10:30AM

1 hand full of Banana chips

1 20 oz glass of water

Lunch 1:00pm

1 small bowl of homemade vegetable soup

1 20 oz glass of water

Snack 4:45PM

2 Chocolate cookies ( these where brought into the office I did not bring them)

1 20 oz glass of water

Dinner 8:45PM

1 small burger from Wendys ( no cheese)

1 small fries

1 16 oz glass of sprite

I fell of last night, but I have to stay strong, I did cleanse yesterday as well, so that should help to. I am still 6 pounds lighter than when I started, I don’t see much of a difference, but the scale doesn’t lie. I hope to have a good weekend, I am going to try to stay as good as I can!

My diet - Part one

As I have continued my diet, I have started to really look at things I have eaten in the past. Why is it that most people think that the over sized hamburger is ok? As the evolution of food progresses, so does portion size. I am not trying to bad mouth the burger, because I love them to, but why so big? Its like a challenge to most just to finish these food items, and most don’t even think about what they are doing to there body. I have lost 6 pounds since I have changed my diet! That is almost a pound a day, I would rather loose a pound a day, then gain a pound a day. Here is my diet yesterday:

Breakfast 9:20Am

1 small bowl of flax seed oat meal ( with a few mixed nuts added for flavor)

1 apple

1 20 oz glass of water

Snack 11:25AM

1 handful of banana chips

1 20 oz glass of water

Lunch 1:00PM

1 handfull of carrots ( with ranch dip)

1 32 oz glass of water

Snack 3:55PM

1 hand full dried cranberry’s

Dinner 8:00PM

2 cups of tuna noodle casserole

2 cups of vegtable soup

1 20 oz glass of water

I had a good dinner last night, the tuna noodle casserole was great, it was a home made recipe, so I will post that for you later today.

My diet has been great during the week, I have been doing well the past two weeks anyway. I have decided that I am going to start posting some reciepes on here in hopes that some one will use them. Keep an eye out for recipes soon!

Breakfast - 9:00AM

1 small bowl of flax seed oat meal ( I used agave nectar as a sugar sub.)

1 banana

1 20 oz glass of water

snack - 10:45

1 handful of Banana chips

Lunch - 1:12PM

I didn’t eat, I wasn’t hungry at all

20 oz of water

Dinner - 8:00PM

2 cups of roasted potatoes

1 whole artichoke

1 small salad (with ranch dressing)

32 oz of water

The further I get into this diet the more I am seeing that it is easier for me to eat less and not have such a huge issue with it. at first I was really wanting meat and all the old stuff I am not eating any more, now my body has gotten more use to the idea and I think it is starting to like it. I am combining the diet with the cleanse with Oxy-Powder, and I feel the best I have ever felt!

My diet is changing! now that I have been writing about it I suppose I have been more responsable with the foods I eat.  Lets see what the diet was yesterday….

Breakfast 9:20AM 

1 Grapefruit (used Agave nectar to sweeten it up)

1  16 oz cup of coffee

1 16 oz cup of water

Lunch 1:00PM 

I wasn’t feeling well at lunch time, my stomach was upset, so I skipped my lunch.

Snack 3:30PM 

I handful of granola

1 20 oz glass of water

Dinner 8:00PM 

1 1/2 Bowls of bean soup with a little pasta mixed in

1 apple

1 20 oz glass of water

My stomach felt a little upset during lunch, not sure why, but in the evening it  cleared up and I felt hungry.   I feel that since I am eating differently, and eating less meat, I have even more energy.  Cleansing along with my diet has helped allot, and I feel like a totally different person.

My diet - Part one

Good morning!  I woke up feeling a little tired today, I did go to bed a little late last night.  So lets see the break down of my diet yesterday.

 Breakfast  9:50AM

1 apple (organic)

1 handful of granola

1 16 oz glass of water

 Snack   11:30AM

1 Banana

 Lunch 1:00PM

Carrots w/ ranch dip (I ate these until I was full)

1 32 oz glass of water

Dinner 7:45PM

1 bowl of potato soup

5 small cubes of cheddar cheese

5 crackers

1   20 oz glass of water

Seems like it has become easier to eat less, I am making sure I eat breakfast where I normally would not, and I am also having a snack in the morning as well.  I have found that I need to use the Oxy-Powder less often because of this change, which is good!   So far I have lost 2 pounds eating this way, and it has only been three days.

” Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.”
Winston Churchill

Yesterday I was a little better on my diet, it felt good to eat well to! here is what I ate:

Breakfast - 9:30AM

1 Banana

1 cup of mixed nuts

1 16 oz glass of water

Snack - 11:20AM

1 Handful of granola

Lunch - 2:00PM 

2  Fajitas, with beef, rice, and beans (I didn’t use the sour cream or the guacamole)

1  32 oz of water

1 After dinner mint

Dinner - 7:45 

1 large salad, with tomatoes, and guacamole

1/4 cup of blue cheese dressing

1 16 oz glass of water

1 small slice of raisin bread (for desert)

The only thing I would really want to change about this is to eat my dinner sooner, so I can really get good digestion before I go to bed.   Today wasn’t so bad, however, I must keep up the positive energy and continuous effort.

My diet - Part one

I took the time to write out what I ate yesterday, in hopes of figuring our my diet. I know that I need to eat 3 meals a day at least, and I also want to make my portions smaller, and eat more often during the day. I also know that my diet is not very good right now, but that is really the point of this blog, to make a change.

My diet yesterday:

For breakfast I ate

1 small bowl of oatmeal (about 1/2 a cup with Agave nectar syrup for sweetness)

1 Banana

1 hand full of mixed nuts

1 cup of water (about 16 oz)

1 cup of coffee (about 16 oz)

For Lunch I ate

1 grilled chicken breast

White rice ( 1 1/2 cups cooked)

1 glass of water ( 20 oz)

For Dinner I ate

1 Sonic double cheese burger

1 Sonic ice cream shake ( 20 oz.)

1 glass of water (8 oz)

I can already see that I am not drinking enough water, this needs to be a focus. I can also see that I am not doing well in the evening. When I get home, like most people, I am tired and I don’t want to cook. This will have to change, so I will see what I can do to figure that out. My mornings look strongest to me, so I will continue with that. I think my lunch was good as well, I really just need to focus on my snacks through out the day, and my dinner.

I am still going to be using Oxy-Powder in a regular maintenance dosage, so this should also help me as well.

My diet - Part one

I feel I should address diet on my cleansing page, in response to a comment left from Erdem, this is a great subject, and I feel that I should address this.   I am going to start blogging my diet, thinking this could help me, and maybe help others as well.  I think a break down of what actually goes in my system, will help me see where I can make even more changes to benefit my health.   Before  I start this, I want to make this clear, I am not a rich man.   I am going to try my best over the  next few months, to change my diet.   Doing this , I feel will be difficult,  as I know that all natural products are the best for your body and they are not cheap.  I will keep track of what I purchase and from where, and then we can evaluate how I can change my habits.   I must confess, when I think about it, I eat allot of bad foods.  I eat out maybe 3-4 times a week, and I also cook at home.  I LOVE chocolate, and could never imagine giving it up.  I hope this is going to be easier than I think it will, got to keep a good attitude about this.

If you have changed your diet, tell me more, I would like to hear who your diet effects your life.
