Dr. Joshi Detox Day 18

wow!  Day 18!

Breakfast:
the usual.  One thing I started doing is mixing a little almond milk in my yogurt, which gives it a lighter consistency that i like.

Lunch:
Went out to lunch w/ hubby and had an omelet with chicken, spinach and feta.  Held the potatoes!

Snack:  Brown Rice Rice Cake and Almond Butter

Dinner:  I made Heidi Swanson's Kale Market Salad for the 2nd time tonight.  I feel like you need to make recipes twice before determining if they are keepers or not....so i tried it again, and Im glad i did.

This time i was better at using the mandolin so i got my fennel and carrots really thin.  I also used Dino Kale - and this Kale def worked better than the kind I used before....and my avocado was perfectly ripe this time, so that worked better as well.
Loved it this time around, where as before i felt so so about it.

That's it!

Dr. Joshi Detox Day 16 & 17

i didn't journal my food for 2 days but i did pretty good!  I was at work ...and the office was moving so we had no fridge and i had to order all of my food in.  Can be a little challenging, but i found some good options for each day.

just a recap of what i had...

the breakfasts were the usual.
for lunch & dinners i had chicken breast and broccoli soup from California Chicken Cafe, steamed veggies, brown rice and chicken satay w/ no sauce from a Thai food restaurant.  One day i picked up Whole Foods salad bar stuff and had that.  Another night i had breakfast for dinner!

Just a few days left...no more work...so i hope to make a few good new recipes in the next couple of days!

Dr. Joshi Detox Day 15

Breakfast:  The usual!

Lunch:  went to Whole foods and got a garbanzo bean and tofu soup.  Good thing about Whole Foods prepared foods is all the ingredients are listed, so i'm able to check if it's all good.

Snack:  Rice Cake & almond butter.  Brown Rice Cake of course.

Dinner:  Chicken breast, broccoli and quinoa w/ Braggs Liquid Aminos all mixed up in a bowl.
