Hello, my lovely friends!
What a wonderful day here. It was a little cloudy and cool, perfect weather. I just wish that we could have this kind of weather all Summer long, but it’s only a matter of time before the 100’s hit here. I know so many are suffering in the heat, stay cool and hydrated.
I'm changing things in how I eat and decided the thing I need to do first is detox and clean my system out. It’s pretty simple. I don’t do those detox powders and other detox plans that you can buy in the stores. I like to go the natural way by using food to clean your system out.
Hot lemon water ~ skip the morning coffee and opt for hot lemon water. I will get a four slices of a lemon and smash them in a coffee cup and add hot water to it. The lemon will help kick start your metabolism for the day. Sometimes I will do the same thing, but add a green tea bag to it.
For breakfast I’ve been a smoothie kind of gal. I’m not a big fan of milk and never have been. I’ve been using Silk Almond Milk in place of real milk. I get some fresh or frozen fruits (whatever you have will work), throw in a spoonful of ground flax seed or chia seeds, pour some almond milk and blend it. I will have whole grain toast or a bagel with it. That is my breakfast and I will maybe switch it up one day a week and have a scrambled egg with toast.
My snacks will include some kind of fresh fruit. I always eat some kind of fresh fruit after I work out and in the evening.
For lunch and dinner it’s a big salad full of veggies and some kind of protein with it. When I mean protein I’m talking chicken, fish or beef. I sometimes switch out the lettuce in the salad and go for some kind of healthy grain like brown rice and make a stir fry.
I’m only drinking my spa-like water and green tea, that’s it.
I will do this for at least five days, but a week would be better. I’m starting this tomorrow.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.

A healthy plan if ever I saw one!
ReplyDeleteI prefer using "real" food solutions whenever possible.
TMI, but I was "relieved" this morning by the solids moving through the first time since Tuesday's C'spy. I'd been passing gas just fine, but it takes a while for the pipeline to fill, and I am not usually "every day" regular, more every two or three days, so I wasn't panicking or anything like that.
Good luck with your cleanse... it's that time of year: first of Summer!
Healthy choices. Happy Sunday! 🤗💖

ReplyDeleteI’m w/you on milk. I use either almond or cashew milk. Even tried oat milk, but cannot say I am a fan.
LOVE salads all the time, but especially in the summer. I like tuna in salad, too, Good protein.
Good luck and good choices!
Hugs

It's Kathy. Sounds like a great plan. I couldn't live without my coffee but on my trip I only had one cup in the mornings, not two. I just don't have the discipline to change how I eat, plus my husband would never eat a salad every day. He will occasionally have a side salad but it's rare. I love salads and would eat them every day for lunch! Maybe that's one change I can make - once I get to the store! Let us know how it's going!
