WEEK 2 :: DAY 11

Friday - July 25, 2008

Breakfast: I had a cup of milk with a banana (made it a shake by adding cinnamon & blending it). Then I had some tapioca toast with egg whites and 1 piece of turkey bacon.

Lunch: I brought leftovers from last night (Bok Choy, Chicken etc).

Dinner: I'm not sure what I'll have for dinner tonight......gots to think on this one...

WEEK 2 :: DAY 10

Thursday - July 24, 2008

Breakfast: Oh....I made Soyrizo! I also had some corn tortillas with it. It was pretty tasty for being Fake Chorizo. I didn't miss the grease that much so it was all good.

Lunch: I had a salad. Lettuce, Cucumber, my home-made dressing, Chicken & Bellpeppers (from the night before). This was pretty filling. I drank my water and had a Venti Tazo Shaken Passion Iced Tea, Non-sweetened.

Snack: I had 1 ghiradelli square of dark chocolate.

Dinner: I made some Sesame bok Choy with Chicken, cashews (the first batched burned when I was toasting them so I ended up doing a mixture of Almonds & Cashews), Brown rice and some corn. It's the first time I cooked with Sesame Seed Oil. It came out pretty good.

I drank all my water today....YAY!

Excercise: 3hr Skating Practice. I felt a little tired but I skated as much as I could.

WEEK 2 :: DAY 9

Wednesday - July 23, 2008



Breakfast: Gorilla Munch cereal with 2% Milk. But looking at my plan I realized I cannot have anymore. It says I cannot have any evaporated cane juice. UGH so I have to hold off on the cereal for a while. SNIKEYS! I really wanted that cereal. FK Well tomorrow I'm making my Sorizo and having it with some corn tortillas.



I had a starbucks Vivvano Banana Chocolate. I guess if I feel guilty about drinking it, it may not be on my plan huh?



Lunch: I brought in leftovers from last nights dinner.

Dinner: I marinated some fillet of boneless skinless chicken breasts with lemon and lime zest, some lime juice, garlic and onions. I sauteed some bellpeppers in EVOO and then took them out. I left the juice of the bellpeppers in the pan added a little more EVOO and added my chicken and the juice of a while lemon (the ones from a tree are the best and juiciest!). I cooked that turned them over and then added the bellpeppers and some chopped flat leaf parsley. During that cooking process I did make some brown rice but didn't eat it with my dinner I saved it for the rest of the week.

I did however make my own salad dressing. In my little bullet blender I added some EVOO, Lime juice, pepper, Cilantro, Basil and blended it down. It came out slightly oily but hey it's my first time and my own concoction. So I poured some over romaine lettuce then i diced the chicken and added the warm chicken and warm bellpeppers on top. It was the best!

Excercise. I did 1.5 hours of Shoulder and Arm work. I did some back work but not that much. I suck at push-ups so I have to really concentrate on that. At 9pm I went to the track and did 2 miles. Then I met up with my trainer for my program.


I need to drink more water. I haven't begun drinking my daily consumption.

WEEK 2 :: DAY 8

Tuesday - July 22, 2008

My friend Rosa brought some breakfast today. MMMM! She brought in an egg omelet, with sauteed zuchinni, onion and turkey bacon.

Lunch: for lunch I had 2 bowls of Gorilla Munch Cereal with 2% Milk.

Dinner: I couldn't wait to get home and cook. I was using 3 burners! SHAOO! I made some Brown Rice Pasta. My first time I ever made it and ate it. It was sooo good! Then I sauteed some Fresh Asparagus with Onions, Garlic and Shrimp. I added Lemon Zest with Flat Leaf Parsley and fresh Garlic on top. I feel I need more veggies in my life so I sauteed some Fresh Spinach with garlic and Crushed Red Pepper and a squidge of Lemon.

Snacks: 2 squares of Dark Chocolate, Corn Nuts, Cashews

Late Night Snack: for some reason I was more hungry today, I think because Pedro warmed up some Orange Chicken and I had thoughts of snagging one of the nuggets but if I didn't cheat with my mom's Lasagna I wasn't gonna cheat with some frozen Orange Chicken. So I got a Banana and used my Bullet Blender with some milk and Cinnamon with a few ice cubes. Refresing and full.

I didn't excercise today. I just took it as a lazy lazy day. I went shopping and bought stuff so I guess that's arm work right? lol

WEEK 1 :: DAY 7

Monday, 7/21/08.

Day Seven? Wow. I thought it was tomorrow but apparently not. I stepped on two scales. At work when I started it says I was 232.0. At my mom's on Saturday evening it said 228.5. Sunday evening it said I was 227.5. Maybe that pound was water weight from sweating it out at skating practice.

I stepped on the scale at work (the O.G one) and it says I'm 229.0. Not bad. That's still a 3 lbs deficit.

Breakfast: Now before I list this. I have to say...I got up and took my fat ass to the track at 545am. Yes A.M. I only did a mile. But it's a mile more than I would have done. I made a veggie omlet with Turkey Bacon and took it to work.

Lunch: I ate turkey mixture (basically the stuffed bellpepper without the bellpepper lol) and brown rice and corn.

Snack: I had 1/2 banana (1/2 of the 1/2 I ate when I got back from the track and the other 1/2 of the 1/2 for my snack). I had plain non-fat unsweetened yogurt and berries (blue/black/rasp).

Dinner: Ugh...I didn't realize how much of that turkey stuff I was eating until I was blogging. I planned on eating that but I just might go for some Tuna. We'll see.

** UPDATE: For dinner well when I got home I ate some Corn Tortillas and my mom's homemade HOT salsa. I ate it until I felt the burning of lung tissue. I warmed up a Chicken Turkey Jalepeno Mango Sausage and ate that plain. I asked Sherry to bring me some salad from Sato. I did do a bad thing and eat it with the salad dressing forgetting that it had peanuts. UGH!

Excercise: I plan on doing a DVD...or maybe just another walk at the track.

** UPDATE: Well I ended up passing out on the couch and watering the lawn. I feel slightly exhausted and I thought I felt and earthquake. I think it's my nerves.

WEEK 1 :: DAY 6

Sunday, 7/20/08

Breakfast: I woke up with breakfast eggs on my mind. Hmmm. Went to the store and got some Eggs, Zucchini, Cremini Mushrooms and something else that I can't remember. I made my brother a Sausage Patty with Egg, Cheese on a Wheat English Muffin. I can't have that. I sauteed my veggies along with green onion and some turkey bacon and made and egg white omlet to top it. After a few bites I was full but to my surprise, I finished the whole darn plate.

Snack: Ooohhh I had a handful of corn chips and my mom's salsa! mmmmm To cool down my burning tongue I got some fresh frozen berries smashed them in a bowl and topped it with plain non-fat unsweetened yogurt. It was wonderful.

Lunch: I have practice tonight so I know I need to eat something. I feel kinda tired and took a nap. Again I ate a Stuffed Bellpepper. And No...i'm not sick of them. I think I'm on a repeat mode. =) I've been hydrating myself because I know I'll need it.

Excercise: I skated for 2hrs. Sweat-hog!

Dinner: As I walked into my mom's house I smelled it. LASAGNA and Fresh Garlic Bread. UGH! WTF? Okay so she had me bring 1/2 of it home. Guess how many bowls I had? None. Yup. None. I resisted it like and wasn't tempted much. Okay so I kinda licked a piece of the garlic bread but quickly realized it had butter so I tossed it. I took it home to my friend and his lady. He ate almost 1/2 of it and was taunting me. I decided to eat yet ANOTHER Stuffed Bellpepper. These mofos will not go away! lol. JK I love it, it's quick it's easy and it's there.

I drank all my water. I'm so loving my return of my willpower.

WEEK 1 :: DAY 5

Saturday, 7/19/08

The dreaded day.

Why? Because today I go to visit my brother in Prison. I love seeing him but the menu options are all vending, processed or fried.

It's an hour long drive so I pre-packaged my food for the morning so I can be full by the time I see him. This will trick me into thinking I'm full and won't give into temptation.

Tempation is a mofo.

I packed up some leftover filling of the stuffed bellpeppers and brown rice.

Breakfast: I took some Cheerios and some 2% milk with me and ate that at my mom's while I waited for her to finish cooking her Bacon, Eggs and Potatoes. The smell was killing me. One was because the bacon smelled gross to me. And I love bacon so that was weird. Two because I wanted some of her potatoes and they are pretty bomb for potatoes.

I heated up my other containers before we left so it would be at least lukewarm before we got there. Nothing's worse than cold food. Okay wet chonies are too but not like cold food.

Brunch: I added this one because it wasn't breakfast and it wasn't lunch. I ate my turkey filling and rice before we got to the prison. I ate as much as I could without going overboard.

Lunch: The visit was Awesome like always but the food choices. Hmmm they had Carne Asada Tacos - No. Tamales with Rice and Beans - No. Egg Rolls with Fried Rice - No. Fried Chicken (actually they taste overfried and almost like chicken jerky if that exists) with french fries - No. Aha! Salad. I got a large container of Lettuce with a boiled egg, ranch dressing and some cheese. I tossed the cheese and the ranch dressing. Those are both no's. I instead twisted some lime on top of the lettuce and black pepper. I bought some corn chips (hey it says I can have corn tortillas...ok so I'm bending my rules) and I crushed them and sprinkled them on top like fake croutons. It was pretty good...until my little brother passed by me and knocked the container onto the floor. Luckily I was 1/2 done with it and full. I had a coconut juice and water. No sweets and no soda. Not even Vitamin Water ( one of my favs).

Dinner: My mom made some corn tortillas and fresh salsa. I dusted like 3 tortillas and ate the salsa til I was sure my taste buds were burned off!

I'm pretty sure since I didn't take anything out or want to cook, I warmed up a leftover Bellpepper. I'm surprised I'm not sick of them......wait that's a lie. I don't think I ate because my little brother came to spend the night with me and we went to see Batman. I think I didn't eat dinner afterall. hmmmm.

Excercise: I did some chair dips at the prison waiting for the bus to carry us around to the visiting room. I wanted to do some lunges but.....lunges, prison staff, handcuffs...not such a smart combination.

WEEK 1 :: DAY 4

Friday, 7/18/08

The Home stretch. Not really because it's only day 4 of 7 of the 1st week of the 3-4 weeks that I need to Detox myself.

Okay so today is Monday and I'm trying my best to remember what I ate.

BREAKFAST: Cheerios & Nonfat Milk. Nothing exciting but it'll do until I go to whole foods and get the actual cereal I should be eating.

LUNCH: I had to go to Costco to get some Bellpeppers for Dinner. So I bought a Roteisserie Chicken. I had that sucker and it was soooo sooo good. I ate just that. I didn't have any rice or veggies because I didn't buy any and I felt full for some reason.

DINNER: I made my wonderful stuffed Bellpeppers for Dinner. Turkey Meat, Brown Rice, Onions, Garlic (sauteed in Olive Oil) some tomatoes and chopped bellpeppers in the mixture. I did however grate a little of Parmesean Cheese on top. Cheese is a No-No on this but I just kinda sorta grated some on mine.

I drank all my water plus more.

For Excercise I did 1hr of Arm & Shoulder work. I felt so great!

WEEK 1 :: DAY 3

Thursday, 7/17/08

BREAKFAST: I had "no wheat gluten cereal" with fat free milk, a shaken Tazo Tea (Venti & has lasted all day!). I added some unsalted raw mixed nuts to it and some flax scoop that I bought at Whole Foods for texture and taste. It was good.

LUNCH: This was a challenge since we went to a mexican reasturant to get somethign to eat. I had some grilled Shrimp with Lettuce, Tomatoe and corn tortillas. I also had some salsa and fresh carrot juice.

DINNER: Tonights dinner I want to make some Baby Bok Choy with Cashews and Chicken. MMM! We shall see what happens.

BAD NEWS: I havent drank any of the 64oz of water I'm supposed to. Only the carrot juice and 1/2 of the Venti Tea.

UPDATE:

so for dinner...i sauntered into my kitchen & rummaged through the cabinets...i found some random items. Originally i planned on making sauteed baby bok choy w cashews. i only made it to the gas station after work. so i made some brown rice corn & warmed up lemon peper tuna fullets. i drank a total of 32 + 24oz water. & a bowl of frozen thawed fruit.

I think I'm doing good.

I thought about working out but never did. I watered my hay (my grass is no longer green) and that was about it. I thought about doing some arm work in my dreams so tonight's mission is to beef up my arms with an 1hr workout.

WEEK 1 :: DAY 2

Wednesday, 7/16/08

Today was weird. I wandered in my mind last night trying to figure out what I can have for breakfast. I want eggs but I can’t have butter or oil. I can have olive oil but with eggs? Skip that. I decided after drinking lots of water that I would eat my banana with Honey. (BREAKFAST) It was actually tasty or I was so hungry it tasted good.

LUNCH: For Lunch I had Chicken Soup (homemade) by my friend and it was soooo good.

SNACKS: I snacked on some Corn nuts although I think I should avoid Salt at all costs. I tend to swell up and I don’t need any help right now.

I went home tired and wanted to sleep but I had practice the same night and knew I needed protein in my body.

DINNER: So I ate the leftover rice from yesterdays lunch and the other chicken from the day before (I oven cooked 2 pieces). Then I went to practice from 8-11pm. I accidentally drank some Gatorade (on the No list) and then realized what I was doing so I switched to water and gave the rest to my cousin. Already I noticed a difference. I haven’t even skated in almost 3weeks and this night I lasted all 3 hours and didn’t have to take much breaks like before!

WEEK 1 :: DAY 1

Tuesday, 7/15/08

I decided after my daily visit to Starbucks that I would start my detox plan. Crap…I wasn’t supposed to have any coffee! UGH! Oh well. I only got a Grande Double-Shot on Ice.

I started anyhow.

BREAKFAST: I had well I don’t remember what I had. (today is Thursday).

LUNCH: I know for lunch I had Sliced Turkey Breast (peppered) and some Uncle Ben’s Brown & Wild Rice (pouche style). The pouch rice was cool but a whole lot of it. I saved ½ of everything for later.

DINNER: That night for Dinner my roommate made some bomb chicken in the oven with Cream of Mushroom & white rice. But I couldn’t have any of it. So I baked my chicken with Olive Oil & Pepper, I ate it with some Vegetable Soup. I drank water the whole day. Yum. =(
