Day 13 Meal #1

So I got lazy yesterday apparently and only had 2 juices.... Woke up at 1PM though so technically had breakfast for lunch and a really late dinner... I did manage to have some hummus on romaine as a snack.. Logged it to fitbit. Speaking of Fitbit, the walk I took with the dogs at the park must of been long as fitbit has 14,303 Steps 6.66 miles...

1 Cup Baby Spinach, Chard, Kale
1 pear
1/2 Large apple
1/8 Cup golden roasted flax seed

Figured out the Nutritional data for my hummus recipe... Only because I made more... ;)

1 1/2 Cup Cooked Organic Garbanzo Beans
3 Tablespoons Trader Joe's Organic 100% Spanish Extra Virgin Garlic infused Olive oil
1 Tsp Sea Salt
1/2 jalapeño pepper
1/2 habanero pepper
2 cloves raw garlic (might of gone overboard, but I love GARLIC)

Raw Product yielded about 1 cup. Totals combined

1 Cup Baby Spinach, Chard, Kale
1 Kiwi
1/2 GrapeFruit
1/2 Apple
1/8 Cup Raw Sunflower Seeds

Day #6 Meal 1

Well Made it almost halfway... 8 more days to go and 9 more days till my family is back.. Turns out my mutts like apples & pears too... so they get some of the stuff that doesn't fit in the Nutri bullet in addition to their breakfast.

I'm contemplating moving them off wellness stews onto home cooked stews. They get almost all the vitamins & nutrients from the dry food and the wet food is ridiculously overpriced.. I can make them a turkey stew that will cover 14 feedings for under 15 as opposed to 2.50/can. Plus I'm sure it will be healthier. I'll try it on Sunday when I run out of their wet food cans.

On to me.. I Breakfast shakes are smooth.. the lunch/dinner pulp shakes take me longer to drink as I am strongly adversed to pulp apparently.

Breakfast (usual except doubled the Spinach)

2 cups Power to the Greens
1 Banana
1 Pear
1/2 Cored Apple
1/8 Cup Golden Flax Seed

2 Stalks of Celery
1/4 cucumber
1 Carrot
1/2 Orange Bell Pepper

Quitting smoking at the same time probably wasn't the best idea... Had a few cravings, but went to sleep instead...  Oh well.. Tomorrow plan on taking them to Pt Isabel for a really long walk

Lunch (Late, as usual my problem with eating)

Went all citrusy

1 Grapefruit
1 Orange
1 Pear
2 Cups of Baby Spinach, Chard, Kale
1/8 cup golden flax seed (really does make everything taste better)

Day #2 Meal 1

Was exhausted last night laid down around 11:30 and at around 1:15 the Damn Fire Alarm went off.. Took me about 10 minutes to wake up and get the dogs ready.. The fire alarm in this building is horrendous, it randomly goes off a couple times a week.

And about that, just as I thought.. My sleeping pattern sucks. According to Fitbit it's 97% efficient but who the fuck wakes up 10x in a 5 hour period? This is why I'm always exhausted

This mornings concoction

1 cored apple
1 whole orange
1 whole banana
1/2 pear
2 cups Baby Spinach, Chard, Kale
1/8 cup Golden Flax Seed

Meal #3

1 Carrot
1 Cup Chard,Spinach,Kale
1/2 Cup Cucumber
1/2 Cup Green grapes
couple strips of jalapeno
1/8 Cup Golden Flax Seed

Afternoon Snack

A Pumello really is smaller than a lemon inside...

1 Pumello

1 small cored apple

1 Pomegranate  (Cored out as much as I could get, seeds and all)

And a yummy juice

Meal# 2

Not hungry at all, then again I rarely am. I think I'm fat from the fact I have weird eating patterns. I'll eat big but not often. I haven't done fast food in at least 5 years. I don't watch what I eat, but I never eat enough for it to matter usually.

Sucks but it is what it is.. Almost all my friends can attest to I can put down a bottle of Vodka no problem, but good luck finishing a burger and fries. On paper Blood Sugar, Cholesterol and BP are always below normal limits for a normal guy let alone a fat dude..

OH well.. Meal #2

6 Cups of Water
and Shake#2


1 Cup Broccoli (YUCK, even with the fruit, I can taste the brocolli and it's horrible. HATE BROCCOLI)
1 Cup Baby Chard/Baby Spinach/Baby Kale
1/2 Orange
1/2 Cored Apple
1/2 Pear
1/2 Cup Red Grapes
1/8 Cup Golden flax seed

Meal #1

Didn't think of documenting this until afterwards, so going forward I'll make sure to keep detailed logs. Breakfast consisted of:

2 Cups Trader Joes Organic Power Greens (Baby Chard,Baby Kale, Baby Spinach)
1/2 cored Apple
1/2 Pear
1/2 Orange
1 Banana
1/8 Cup Golden Roasted Whole Flax Seed

6 Cups of Water

Didn't taste 1/2 bad...

Detox has begun

Getting Started... I have been feeling pretty run down, don't know if it's the cancer or what. Wife and kid have gone to NYC for 2 weeks and this is the perfect time for me to begin my detox process. Will give up smoking, drinking and generally everything but raw foods for the first 2 weeks and then hopefully can continue.

Goal is to lose at least 100lbs and to generally just feel better... Headed to Traded Joe's yesterday, got a ton of Fresh Organic Fruits and Vegetables.

Nutri Bullet to pulverize everything and a fitbit one for tracking. I'm going to get the ARIA scale after 2 weeks, because I don't want to mentally think about the weight. Let's use 350 as the starting weight.
