Purification Day 6: Feeling Motivated

Well, I made it through another day of work without touching that delicious looking food! But it was still really really hard!

Tomorrow will mark day seven, which means no more taking seven pills, three times a day, it's a switch to five pills, three times a day. That's 9 less pills a day! Another important note about tomorrow is that I will have made it through one week! That's 1/3 of the way done, 14 days left, or if you want to get crazy, 336 hours!

I stuck with doing this ab workout today and this butt workout from Blogilates. I am seriously in love, but I need to add in some moderate cardio to burn fat. I'm thinking either interval jump roping or going for a run. We'll see what I'm feeling tomorrow.

Here were my meals for the day:

Breakfast: Strawberry-Banana-Pineapple Shake
- a handful of strawberries
- 1 banana
- a few chunks of pineapple
- water
- 1 tbs of whole food fiber
- 2 tbs of SP Complete
- 2 tbs of Whey Pro Complete



Lunch: Banana-Spinach Shake
I went with the banana spinach shake that I tried yesterday because it tasted good and I wanted to play it safe since I don't have many resources at work.

I also had strawberries and cherries as a snack.

Dinner: Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms w/ Cauliflower, Asparagus & Tomato-Onion Salad
Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms:
- 6 portobello mushrooms
- brown rice
- chopped chard
- onion
- garlic
- olive oil

- Sautee onions in olive oil until soft, add chard and cook for another minute, then add 2 crushed garlic cloves. Drizzle mushrooms with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bake in 425 degree oven for 15 minutes, then stuff them with rice, onion, garlic and chard and bake for another 10 minutes.

Cauliflower:
- Chop cauliflower, mix with olive oil, salt and pepper. Put on a baking tray and season with kumin. Put in 425 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Tomato & Onion Salad:
- 2 cups of grape tomatoes
- 1 tbs of olive oil
- 3 tbs red wine vinegar
- 1 tbs of honey
- Cut grape tomatoes in half, dice one onion, seed and dice one cucumber. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, tablespoon of honey. Add tomatoes, onions and cucumbers and chill. Serve over arugula.

Asparagus:
Sautee asparagus in olive oil, salt and pepper.

(This was a delicious Father's Day dinner! Everything tasted amazing, and I instantly forgot all of the fried food that I had been longing for hours ago.)
