Lost: 1 lb
Total weight loss since day 1: 2 stone 5 lb
The weather today in the Malaga region was pretty rotten, with lots of rain most of the day, so salad was the last thing on my mind. Instead, I made a lovely vegan vegetable soup which was just the thing for a cold wet day.
I'm still keeping up my smoothies, with my favourite smoothie being banana, hemp milk and strawberries...but today I omitted the strawberries and added spinach instead. The result was a lovely, creamy green smoothie.
I've just started to introduce maca into my smoothies as it's rich in vitamins B, C and E and provides plenty of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and amino acids. It's also a source of protein.
It's a hormone balancer, relieves menstrual pain, it can help to clear acne and blemishes and it helps to alleviate mood swings and depression.
Maca is a root vegetable grown in the high Andes mountains of South America.
Weather-wise, it's looking brighter for the week and this makes it so much easier to stay raw when the sun is shining. When the suns out and the weather is warm it just gives you that extra incentive to eat more healthily.
My weight's looking good. Yes the weight loss has slowed but that's my own doing and I'm happy with the way things are going.
I actually gave a pair of jeans away to the charity shop as they were looking baggy on me! I plan to gradually get rid of my 'bigger' clothes as this eliminates the temptation to put the weight back on, as this would mean I'd have to go out and buy bigger clothes again, which I have no intention of doing because on Saturday I actually bought a smaller size t-shirt...and that felt great!
The workout programme I have at the gym is getting easier so maybe it's time to change it soon for a more challenging one.
Not much else to report. Things ticking over and going well. Next blog Saturday.
Hasta pronto
