The last few days..

I've had some computer troubles. I'm looking into getting my laptop fixed or getting a new one. -Ugh, that is not great news, I was fond of this computer, an old friend. It's been good to me.

The good news is I've been eating well, and I think yesterday might have been my best day yet!

On Sunday I had blended bananas for breakfast & lettuce wraps for lunch. The lettuce wraps had raw sprouted beans & shredded veggies in them. -Uh, not a good combo for me. It tasted good, but I felt like it really weighed me down. My stomach felt bloated & unhappy. I think my system craves beans at times but really doesn't like them. The beans could be cooked, marinated, or sprouted/raw, they still bug me. Unless they are mung bean sprouts. Those are fine for me. No trouble at all. (Because they are mostly water.) Anyway, whenever I eat beans I feel bloated, not as peppy & sometimes gassy. (Sorry for the extra info!) OK, now for the really good day, yesterday (Monday) was much better. I had lots of orange wedges for breakfast, blended bananas for lunch & lots of fennel-orange juice for dinner. I had a few medjool dates after that too. I felt really light with even energy. My abs looked flat, (not bloated) & I slept really well. I woke up peppy too. -Yay! Much better. Simple combos & easy to digest water rich foods will give you more energy & better results every time. They definitely do for me.

I posted calories today so that you see how it all adds up. 

In addition to what I posted, I have been drinking at least 2 liters a day of water & I usually exercise for at least 1 hour in the morning. (Before it was in the evening, but I don't think it works as well. Exercising first thing after you wake up is key.) I have been feeling really good eating low fat & making sure I get enough exercise, water & sleep, (maybe sun too if I can). This is a big change for me. I used to be a nite owl. I was also very inconsistent with sleep & exercise. Water intake was an after thought if I thought about it at all. Now that I have made all of these a priority, my energy has been very consistent & I usually feel pretty peppy on a daily bases. :)

Celery-banana smoothies

Today I ate;

Ahhhh.... today was a pleasure. This morning I had a whole pineapple to myself. It didn't bother my tongue the way pineapple does if you eat too much, or if it's unripe. It was perfectly sweet & very sweet to me. :) I also had a few banana salads. They were all the same. The ingredients were; chopped Candy Crisp & Granny Smith apples, chopped Medjool dates & shredded Green Leaf lettuce, & blended banana (with a few dates added) sauce, to top it off. It was yummy!

..And one more thing, 

Today I decided to eat some lettuce plain, almost half a head.
Earlier in the day I made a salad with banana dressing. But ended up with extra greens that were already washed. I took a few bites & it was lovely! I've always needed dressing on my greens. I never thought I would like them plain. But now I know, ..I do!

Today and Yesterday I ate;

Oh man, I'm losing track! Well, I'll just tell you all the fruits I ate over today & yesterday. Some of them were made into smoothies or salads, but most were eaten as is.

Fuyu persimmons

Red grapes

Orange slices

Pineapples

Blended banana

Medjool dates

Red bell peppers

Zucchini

Tomatoes

So far so good with everything. I've been eating really clean over the last four days. My energy has been really good. Better than it's been in a while. I'm thankful. I do have the slight urge to be naughty (and rebel!) and have some big green salad with lots of avocado & a thick dressing made out of sesame seeds, ..but I'm not doin' it. I'm sticking to one month of really clean foods. The kind that don't stick to dishes or need warm water to rinse off. I want to change my taste buds. I want to crave clean foods, mostly fruits, all the time. Forever & ever.. Because I know that when I eat like this, I really do feel my best. :)

Yesterday & Today I ate;

Monday I had persimmons, dandelion-banana smoothies, red grapes & a pineapple. Today I had blended pears, bananas, blended bananas, medjool dates & persimmons.
