The theme of this year life is ‘endurance’.

☆\{ﾟ∀ﾟ}/ Raspberry Protein Shakes and MISSION SPAGHETTI-SQUASH-SPAGHETTI– was a SUCCESS!!~*

Lesson of the day: Raspberry Protein Shakes > Strawberry Protein Shakes

Not only do I love the taste but  –I geek out over foods with high-fiber content.

Strawberry

Spaghetti Squash Adventure

I just took it out of the oven and am in the process of separating the rind and seasoning it. To be continued!..

 

I decided to make a sauce to go with it using tomato puree, parsley, green onions, shrimp, crushed red pepper, garlic and veggie broth. I sautéed the garlic/veggie broth/ green onions with the shrimp, then added the spices and tomato puree all together. It was PHENOMENAL… Behold:

 

Using spaghetti squash as actual spaghetti noodles have made me not ever want to eat regular noodles again!

YATTA!!!

1. Long life cocktail + 2 psyllium husk caps
2. Warm water + lemon juice
3. 2 scrambled eggs + mushroom+ parsley + cumin + dill
4. Cran water + water
5. Cran water + 2 evening primrose caps + vitamin c + vitamin e
6. Warm water + lemon, cran water
7. Raspberry protein shake
8. water
9. Spaghetti-Spaghetti Squash + warm lemon water + 2 evening primrose oil caps + cran water
10. 2.5 cups Life Cereal all day (act of temptation for the day)

:0) Day-10 Phase-1. Love at first bite… of carob.

135 lbs

I’m wondering if I have to start the dates over to square-one every time I go off FFP menu?  meh! (shrug)

1. Long life cocktail with 2 caps psyllium husk
2. warm water with lemon
3. strawberry protein shake (always with flax oil)
4. cran water + water + vitamin c, e, evening primrose oil, prenatal
5. 1 cup teeccino chocolate mint flavor with 1/2 stevia packet and  1/3 scoop of whey protein.
6. 2 carob malt balls, 5 unsweetened chocolate(or carob?) covered almonds, tiny taste bite of all natural coconut bar thing
7. Water
8. 4 oz sesame tofu, 1/2 Quinoa Cake, cran water, water
9. Strawberry protein shake
10. 3 miles in 39 min, 3 sets 12 reps on leg machine 30 lbs, 3 sets 12 reps arm curl 10 lbs.
11. 2 water + 6 carob malt balls

Bad news:  didn’t get as many veggies in as I should’ve and I also should’ve upped my liquids intake.  Good news: I did get my recommended servings of fruit and I did get an ample amount of protein.

Carob malt balls were heavenly. Thanks for the suggestion Niknaks! 😀

The unsweetened chocolate almonds were kind of gnarly but I ate them ALL anyway because that is how hard up I am for sweets these days. Yay for me and my self control not buying anything in the Whole Foods bakery section or anything else not FFP friendly.

Dinner– Quinoa and Sesame tofu

Evening Snack– Strawberry protein shake

I also got these while I was out. Is very sexii, no?

I’ve been considering trying the 12 hour detox regimen (also by Gittleman) in addition to this. I’ll do more research on it.

~( ﾟ- ﾟ~ ) Day-5 Phase-1 Monday

136 lbs    (I think the extra pound or so may be from water weight. Been drinking about 16+ glasses of liquids per day now.)

2. 8 oz warm water + 1/2 tbl spoon lemon
3. Cran water + scrambled egg with mushroom, cumin, parsley, crushed red pepper, cayenne

Breakfast on the skillet & The finished product

 

 

The herbal coffee tasted different from the average cup of joe. The Chocolatey-Minty Flavor help make it palatable. And it has about 6 g of protein from the whey powder, which was kind of nice.  ~_o

Herbal Coffee provides no energy boost whatsoever. I think I’ll try drinking organic tea. Or maybe even organic *coffee.* Caffeine is prohibited though, as it works the liver too hard and distracts the liver from burning/ metabolizing the fat. Herbal coffee and tea it is.

 

——————————————————————–

 

Behold:

Not the most delicious juice, but not terrible either. I prefer *eating* the fruit. The juice is more effective, as they say. It’s still considered a carb-y fruit, so it’s not entirely FFP-Friendly. I’m having it in small, limited amounts, I hope that will be okay.

 

 

And now to prepare dinner. I am very tired. It might be because I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday from sleeping late + waking up intermittently from taking care of River. I miss coffee. I’m starting to miss cheese. I miss chocolate.

———————————————

Meet my dinner, smiling up at me. Not bad. I was satisfied.
