Purification Day 14: 2 Weeks Down, 1 To Go!

Yippie! It's finally the end of week two; I'm 2/3 of the way finished with this purification and thank goodness because it's getting harder and harder to resist my cravings! I'm dreaming of burgers and beers on the 4th of July, oh and let's not forget ice cream.

Today I did some intense working out and I have got to say I'm realizing that eating well and working out regularly is really giving me more energy! I never feel tired, I don't need naps and I am feeling more motivated. Today I tried a new ab workout (this was really hard!) and an older ab workout from Blogilates and I did the same jump rope video I have been doing. I think tomorrow or Wednesday I'll do a different HIIT video. I like mixing my workouts up, it keeps it more exciting and not so mundane.

Here were my meals for the day:

Breakfast: Peach-Pineapple Shake
- 1 small peach
- a few chunks of pineapple
- water & crushed ice
- 1 tbsp of whole food fiber
- 2 tbsp of SP Complete
- 1 tbsp of Whey Pro Complete

Lunch: Rice Bowl & Banana-Pineapple-Spinach Shake


- For the rice bowl I used wild rice, chunks of chicken and some red pepper. I think tossed it with Tuscan Herb EVOO from the Filling Station and some balsamic vinaigrette. This was so good! I'm definitely going to take this for lunch tomorrow.

- For the shake I used the same recipe that I have been using.

Dinner: Braised Chicken w/ Sweet Potato Fries & Yellow Wax Beans


- For the sweet potato fries I used a different recipe than last time that included a cherry salsa: you can find the recipe here.
- For the chicken: First cut chicken, then brown with safflower oil on a stove top, then add organic chicken stock and then put in oven proof pot with lid and put in oven at 300 degrees for 3-4 hours.

(This dinner was delicious! The chicken are our own and so juicy! And the cherry salsa on the sweet potato fries was such a different taste.)
