Lost: 1 lb
Total weight loss since day 1: 12 lb
Way-hay back on track again with another pound of weight loss.
It's only taken me two days to get over my weekend...must be a sign of old age!
Been sticking to my green smoothies, and my morning smoothie consisted of strawberries, chard and mango...I made a whole 1.5 litres of this and drank this through the morning.
My second smoothie of the day consisted of 2 bananas, chard, 3 kiwis and a splodge of agave syrup. I made about 1 litre of this. I also ate 2 whole oranges, 2 dates, handful of olives and 6 macadamia nuts. This was my whole intake of food for the day.
I'm gradually going to increase my intake of green smoothies, as a friend who's been a raw foodie for many years has advised me that I should be drinking about 4.5 litres daily, as she does. This is the only way that I'm going to keep my energy up as we need to ingest a larger quantity of food on a raw food diet in order to get the calorie intake for your body to use.
As you can see in this photo I had my lovely cat, Polo, who kindly took the time out of his busy schedule (lying on the dining room table, sleeping) to appear alongside the green smoothie, just to make it appear more interesting.
Polo joined the Tribe about 10 months ago, where I found him in the chicken pen emaciated and eating stale bread. I managed to put him in a cat box and take him to the vet to be checked over and castrated. I looked after him, fed him up and brought him back to good health.
10 months later, he's become the 2nd biggest cat out of the 6 that live in and around the house...he really landed on his feet when he appeared on my land and now he totally takes the pee and occupies my bed, the couch, the coffee table, the dining room table...he even beats up Tilly the dog, but she enjoys it!
I've been feeling much better as the day's gone on and my stomach is back to normal now, though, with the green smoothies...how can I put this...there's more trips to the toilet than usual as I appear to be digesting the smoothies very quickly and easily.
So there's no bloatedness or heavy feeling...my head is becoming clear, I'm beginning to feel more energised...I feel 'normal' again, and it feels good!
I intend to make a variety of smoothies to keep it interesting and I will share my favourites with you.
Hasta pronto
