I’ve been SOOO antsy lately!!! Boyfriend and I are going to Mexico next month and I’m super excited. I asked him the other day if it was too soon to start packing (we are leaving on August 10th), and he said “yes”! (sad face)
I started a vegetable garden in my back yard. I’m trying to overcome my ability to kill any and everything. I planted some tomatoes, peppers, squash, and eggplant. I only planted one of each so I’m under no illusion that I will be growing all my own produce, but I will be happy to make a little side veggie out of anything that might grow.
TOMATOES + PEPPERS + SQUASH + STRAWBERRIES
I made Boyfriend an AMAZING breakfast the other day. I’m such a good Girlfriend!
SWEET POTATO HASH + SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATOES & GREEN CHILIES + BACON + BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
For BREAKFAST this morning I decided to do a little salt water flush to clean out the “pipes.” Have you ever tried this before? I’ve done it a few times with great results. You basically dissolve 2TBSP of sea salt with 1 liter of water and gulp it down as fast a possible. Anywhere from 15 min. to 2 hours later…WATCH OUT!!! You’ll be experiencing the flow of water and “other stuff” come out of a hole you are not used to seeing water coming out of. (Sorry for the graphic nature…this was the most delicate way I could describe this event).
It’s not that easy to drink a liter of salt water. It definitely triggers my gag reflex and the first time I did the flush, I upchucked a few times. But it’s very gratifying to see all the excess bile that I know has just been camping in my bowls for who knows how long. When I get back from Mexico, I’m having a little colon hydrotherapy session for a deep cleanse. I’m so excited about it…Boyfriend thinks I’m crazy.
After my flush I made a cup of GREEN SENCHA TEA to get the icky taste of salt water out of my mouth. Not only is the Keurig good for brewing delicious coffee, but I also use to it brew instant hot water for tea. All you do is run a cycle minus to coffee pod and VIOLA!
I’ve been OBSESSED lately with at-home manicures. Why pay $25 for a manicure when I can buy some high quality polish for $8?!?! I even bought some cheap decals to dress up my digits.
I hit the gym today for some ab and leg work. I definitely felt the burn!!! Afterwards, I rewarded all my hard work with a little protein blast. I’ve never met a protein shake I didn’t like!!
125 GRAMS FRESH BLUEBERRIES + 1 SCOOP PROTEIN POWDER + GUAR GUM + XANTHAM GUM + HANDFUL OF SPINACH + HANDFUL OF ICE
After a full day of “flushing” I finally ate some solid food for DINNER. I’ve really been on a salmon kick lately. When salmon is made right, I really like it!!! But prepared wrong, it’s a fishy tasting and smelling disaster.
I’ve been cheating lately and buying pre-made salmon burgers from Trader Joe’s so I can’t go wrong. While their salmon patties are passable, Fresh & Easy has AMAZING salmon burgers which I LOVE, but last time I went their to stock up, they didn’t have any on the shelves. I hope they aren’t discontinued or else I will be lost!
TRADER JOE’S SALMON PATTY + CAULIFLOWER
All and all, this was a successful first day back to being a “food Nazi”. I MIGHT have cheated just a wee-bit by sneaking a glass of port and a cinnamon twist (or 2), but considering the fact that I didn’t really get a chance to eat that much today due to my “flush,” I’m calling today a SUCCESS!!
Until tomorrow…
XOXO
