Really Into Day 5

I went for an early day of  Pilates Class and learned something really great!!! After I started on the menu for the day… I went upstairs to take my shower. And  just for grins, I stepped on the scale. I showed I weighed 164lbs…. I LOST 5 MORE LBS.!!!!!

 Breakfast: 1Tsp Barley Max Powder mixed with Distilled Water

I kind of deviated from the  Mid Morning Juice by changing the required Spinach with Cucumber.

Mid Morning 8oz Carrot, Celery, Cucumber Juice

30 Minutes before lunch one serving of Barley Max Mix

Lunch: Plums until satisfied

Mid Afternoon 8oz Carrot, Cucumber, Celery Juice

30 Minutes before dinner one serving of Barley Max Mix 

For Dinner… I got home a bit late and only soaked the lentils since the morning, because I forgot to soak them the night before. Needless to say, I didn’t get to the grocery store as planed and I didn’t make the Confettie Coleslaw. 😦

Supper: Lentil Loaf, Steamed Vegetables and Confetti Coleslaw

Staying Strong Day2

It was a great start to the day… I got up for an early morning Pilates Class here in Potomac, MD. I love the reformer Pilates Classes here!!!! It makes me feel good!!

Breakfast: 1Tsp  Barley Max Powder mixed with 4-8oz of Distilled Water

Then I came home and made my Mid Morning  8oz Juice of Carrot, Cucumber, Celery Juice.

HINT: Celery juice contains organic sodium combined with many minerals the body requires.  

For lunch, I mixed the Barley Max with water and had that 30 minutes before I splurged on 2 pears… that’s what the 14 day eating plan called for on Day 2.

 As the day progressed, Mike and I went out and did some errands. Before we left though, I made Mid Afternoon 8oz Juice of  Carrot, Cucumber, Celery Juice for the road… While we were out and about, we realized it was 4pm in the afternoon already. I was starting the get a little hungry and Mike wanted to stop and have a cocktail somewhere local and low key.  

So we stopped off at Wildfire Restaurant in Tysons Corner Mall… where I had a glass of Pinot Grigio and we ordered a Greek Salad with no Cheese. We ended up having a couple of spoonfuls of the salad and then left for home.

For Dinner: I was still a little hungry and wanted to get back on track with the eating, so I mixed my Barley Max and had my drink and proceeded to make Zucchini Salad and Bake a Sweet Potato.

I preheated the oven to 40 degrees and put the Sweet Potatoes in for 4 minutes. And I ate it with some seasonings, or a sweet potato is also great plain!.
