\"\"<\/a>breakfast:\u00c2\u00a0 um… watermelon, mango? probably.\u00c2\u00a0 kale, almond butter<\/p>\n

snacks:\u00c2\u00a0 almonds, apple, rice crackers, hummus, homemade “larabar” (coconut creme pie with added no-sugar dried pineapple)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>dinner: watermelon, coconut water, kale, mango, almond butter.\u00c2\u00a0 yes, i’m getting repetitive.<\/p>\n

whoa.\u00c2\u00a0 are we done with a whole week?\u00c2\u00a0 that went by pretty quickly.\u00c2\u00a0 we had some good salads, and i actually really enjoyed eating pretty much everything.\u00c2\u00a0 i’ll probably continue trying to eat mostly clean for at least the next few days because it feels great!\u00c2\u00a0 but i may sneak a few more wheat things and dairy things.<\/p>\n

did i accomplish my goals?<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0 eat more salads.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong> yes!\u00c2\u00a0 and i think we’ll probably continue to have more salad-y lunches.<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0 lose a little more weight.<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 ummm… maybe?\u00c2\u00a0 my scale this morning reported a 3 pound loss from my first day, but sometimes I can fluctuate as much as 10 pounds over the course of a month, so the jury’s out on that one.<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0 remind myself how much i enjoy eating fresh fruits, veggies, and other healthy things.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong> yes!\u00c2\u00a0 that quinoa salad will definitely become a standard summer dinner rotation and i am loving, loving, loving summer fruits right now!<\/p>\n

4.\u00c2\u00a0 see if i like summer cleanses better than winter.<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 oh yes.\u00c2\u00a0 so many more foods to choose from and smoothies for supper seem way more appetizing this time of year.<\/p>\n

i’m actually writing this on “day 8” and i enjoyed a lunch of stir-fried zucchini (zucchini, onion and cashews with a little soy sauce) and some “pink rice” (a brown rice alternative i found at the co-op.\u00c2\u00a0 super yummy!), so the cleanse continues so far.\u00c2\u00a0 although i think i’ll probably eat a solid supper with my family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
