Day 20

January 22nd, 2011

As I was saying yesterday weekends become difficult for me to intake enough calories and required water. I focused on making sure I did both today. I woke to my shake and supplements then within a small bit of time had some veggies, shortly afterwards we went out to lunch where I had another house salad with nothing but oil and vinegar. We ended up running errands half the day so all I seemed to take in for the next few hours was water. Having said that I did come home and make myself some cod and another spinach salad. For a shake I decided to mix it up. I wanted to try a veggie shake instead. I mean come on you can only have so many berry shakes before you need to "shake" things up more. I put in whole tomatoes, freshly chopped garlic, freshly chopped basil, freshly chopped onion,freshly chopped parsley, two pinches of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a touch of vinegar & my SP Cleanse. I was in heaven. It tasted like a spicy tomato soup. Until I realized that my eyes where watering due to having put way too many onions and garlic in it. Next time I will scale back. All in all it was a good experiment. I just need to perfect it.
Later in the evening we took some family to Red Lobster where I realized was my kinda place. I was able to order fresh cod that had been baked without any seasonings, steamed broccoli and steamed asparagus paired with a small house salad. I just love being able to eat a full meal with others without feeling like I am missing out on the whole experience of eating out enjoyed with the normal table talk.
Tomorrow is my last day on the 21 Day cleanse! I am proud of myself! Next week I begin the Post Purification Program.
