Green Smoothie Fast Day 1

I made all my smoothies the night before.

From left to right: breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack, dinner, night time snack.

The first 2 jars have these ingredients:

-2 tsp raw apple cider vinegar

-2 tsp raw maca powder

-1/2 TB agave nectar

-2 cups spinach

-1 banana

-1/2 cup pomegranate

-1/2 cup raspberries

This one was good. I am still getting used to the maca taste though. It left me feeling very satisfied and full of energy.

The second 2 jars have these ingredients:

-2 tsp raw apple cider vinegar

-1/2 TB agave nectar

-4 baby carrots

-2 leaves lettuce

-1 cup spinach

-2 clementines

-1 pear

-1/4 cup pomegranate

-1/2 cup raspberries

These were good too, but I could taste the carrots a little more than I intended too. I felt good still after having these.

Around 4pm I started to get a raging headache in addition to my massive cold symptoms and I had an hour of intermittent mental arguing over whether or not I should go get a coffee. I didn't end up getting the coffee but when I went to the grocery store to get a couple more things for smoothies I got dinner there too :( It was just too much with the cold symptoms... I caved for the comfort food.

So obviously I didn't drink the last 2 jars. I am saving them for tomorrow.

All in all I would say today was pretty successful. I am planning on going the whole day on just my green smoothies tomorrow though. :)

Fast?

I am thinking about doing a fast. Not a no-food fast, not even a juice fast. Just a "just fruits and veggies" fast.

I have been on a roll with tracking my calories with my GoWearFit for almost 2 weeks I believe. Even on the days I didn't want to see how much I ate or how little I burned. But I did it. Now the thing is.... I can add up all the calorie deficits I have been created but it is not translating to the scale at all! It is very frustrating and disheartening.

Which is what brings me to the fasting. I am just going to give it a shot. Nothing else is making a difference. (I am also getting my thyroid checked AGAIN this week, and will get the results Nov 13th).

If I can manage it I will keep tabs on here about how I'm doing and how it feels.

So-So

I have not written a blog in quite a while... I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by my life lately :(

However since I got my GoWear Fit I have worn it every day and tracked my calories every day. Even those days when I knew I didn't want to see how low my calorie burn was and how high my calorie intake was. The good news though: I have not had a single day without a calorie deficit! So I must be doing something right!

Also I did two 5k runs last week which brought me to the 50 mile total mark! WOOT! Both runs last week were hard... I wanted to quit half way through both but I wouldn't let myself.

I will keep trucking along even though life is crazy right now and hopefully have some good numbers to show for it soon!

GoWear Fit

My GoWear Fit came! My GoWear Fit came!!! WOOT!!

I'm so excited that my GoWear Fit came! I got my online account/subscription going already and today has been my first day wearing it! *happy dance*

Here is an example of the online data portion:

Tonight when I take my shower to get ready for tomorrow I will take the armband off and connect it to my computer to upload all the info it took of me today. I'm excited but also nervous to see my readings. Excited because I will be getting some feedback about my caloric burn but nervous because what if it's not good! eek!

Regardless it will be good because it will give me concrete goals to work toward and I love challenges. I love to compete, even if its just with myself!

Here we go!!!
