Detox - Day 5

I'm peeing like a garden hose!  Not sure what's going on because I've always been a pretty good water drinker ... usually 6-7 glasses per day.  With the Sexy Forever plan I've been making sure I'm drinking eight 8-ounce glasses, so it's not really that much more.  Maybe it's the Maqui Juice or all those fruits and veggies, but hopefully it will level out soon.

Breakfast - Today was an exercise day, so I started out with an ounce of Maqui Juice and a cup of fresh fruit, did my routine, and then had a BLT without the bacon.  It's so satisfying so I don't mind eating it again.  Plus, I have to use up the bread and tomatoes before they go bad.

AM Snack - Didn't need it as I wasn't hungry.

Lunch - I had leftover egg salad, but I made it into a salad instead.  Maybe I'm just a klutz, but, yesterday it was messy eating it as a lettuce wrap.  The egg salad kept sliding out.  I just broke up some lettuce, scooped out about a cup of egg salad, and stirred it all together.  It was a new twist for me, and darn good!

PM Snack - I feel like I'm having a party for one whenever I eat the brown rice cakes and fresh salsa.  Today, I added a little fresh lemon juice and crushed ice to my water and pretended it was a Margarita.  I love, love, love this snack!

Dinner -  We had something new for dinner tonight.  A cobb salad.  It's listed on page 171 in the Sexy Forever book.  We had enough chicken leftover from Sunday's meal, so I didn't have to make any fresh.  I love that!  Plus, I boiled a couple extra eggs when I made the egg salad, so that was done, too.  All I had to do was slave over the stove making 2 slices of bacon ... can you believe it?  We can have bacon! ! !  The house smelled so good.  And, when my husband came home from work, he looked like he was being led by someone who had a hook in his nose.

For this meal I used 3 oz. of chicken, 1/2 of the hard boiled egg, and 1 slice of bacon to equal my 6 oz. of protein.  Then, I also added a cup of lettuce greens, sliced green onions, a few tomatoes, a sprinkle of cheese, and full-fat salad dressing.  It was heaven!  Every time one of us got a piece of the bacon, we groaned with joy!

Beverages: 7 glasses of water and a cup of Sleepy Time tea.
