Day 1 of Veggie/fruit Diet

First I have some most excellent news! Last night I went for a run around the neighborhood and I ran a full 10k!! Actually I ran a bit over (6.25 miles). I ran at an average of 5.5 mph and did the whole 10k in 1:08:14. I dont think that is bad for my first time out. Calories burned 778.

This morning I weighed in at 158.5. Yup I gained some weight over the weekend. I am blaming it on salt and Aunt Flo. Dont worry though...this will come down by the end of the week BECAUSE today is:

Day 1 of my Veggie/Fruit diet.

I plan on doing this for a week (so until next Tuesday) but I may extend it depending on how it goes.

This morning was excellent. I started off with one of my normal smoothies made out of my stockpile of frozen fruit.

My morning smoothie was frozen papaya, frozen mango, a huge handful of spinach, water and a banana. Yummy!

I was also thinking ahead and yesterday started to dehydrate kiwi, banana, pineapple and apples. So I have a huge bowlful of dried fruit to munch on too.

After playgroup today, I took the kids to a run to Meijer. My entire cart (well ok 94%) was full of fruits and veggies...celery, baby carrots, spinach, grapefruit, watermelon, peaches, bananas, apples, kiwi, mangos, avocados, mint, beets, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries,ginger, kale, broccoli, purple cauliflower, rainbow chard...you name it, I bought it.

I finally have it all cleaned and in the fridge ready to go for me.

Yesterday I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" on Hulu yesterday (thanks Czesia!). It was an awesome movie and very eye opening. Though I eat a ton of fruits and veggies now, I will be interested to see how I feel after this week is up and if I lose any weight at all.

So I googled the mean green smoothie that he makes in the movie for the recipe and found out that he has a website where you can plan your own reboot plus buy a juicer if you want to...

It is a pretty nice site. If you want to check it out you can: www.jointhereboot.com

They have different juice recipes AND smoothie recipes! Just what I need!

So for lunch I am having one from his site.

I am having the blackberry kiwi blend which is:

frozen pineapple
frozen blackberries
1 kiwi
1 banana (I just realized I didnt put one in mine LOL)
1/2 comice pear
coconut water (I used coconut milk...I couldnt find coconut water)
and I used about 20 mint leaves

It is delicious and refreshing.

I am also having a big bowl of baby carrots and celery.

So far so good for the day!

Tonight I have the gym to go to. CX, Body Flow, and RPM. We will see how I feel tonight after the physical expenditure!!

Stay tuned to see how it goes for me this week!!!
