As I write this it’s day 9 on the healthy eating cleanse. Here are some photos and observations.

  • I’m not getting headaches anymore. I also notice when I’m hungry. I don’t just eat because the clock on the wall tells me to do so. I’m hungry. It’s really nice to feel this again.
  • I’m not walking around all day tired, yet when we go to bed I fall asleep quickly and I stay asleep pretty much all night. I wake up before the alarm clock and think about all the things I’m going to accomplish that day.
  • I’m a lightweight when I drink. I have to be really careful, because even a few sips of wine can make me a bit buzzy. Hey, I kinda like being a lightweight. It certainly is cheaper.
  • My pants are getting longer. Well, not exactly. I’ve encountered this before. When you lose weight, the clothes aren’t as tight, and therefore skirts and pants seem to get longer.
  • I have lots of energy. Energy to do things I haven’t wanted to do in awhile.
  • I’m cold a lot more often. I need extra layers to keep warm. I used to be warm most of the time. I’m not sure what this means.
  • Some other things I’ve learned: The husband doesn’t like quinoa (I think that’s just weird!). And, too many healthy days aren’t good for the husband, so I’m glad that I’m scheduling in the cheat days.
  • I actually forgot to have a cup of coffee the other day! And, I went until 10 am before I noticed. What’s up with that? And yet, the only thing I’m craving is another cup of coffee. I want so badly to stop at the Starbucks at my grocery store when I walk past it. URG!
  • We often aren’t eating the snacks because we’re too full.
breakfast
Day 6 Breakfast: I think this was really tasty, but I would’ve preferred to have it for dinner. It was just too savory and rich for breakfast.

Days 4-7 menus are here

open faced avocado sandwich with veggie plate
Day 6 Lunch: Open-faced Guacamole Sandwich (and you know I love avocado)! This was awesome! And the veggie plate was great too (even the husband loved both of these).
winter bulghur wheat
Day 6 Dinner: This was great. I think I’ll do a separate post about this recipe because it was so good (and I changed the recipe a bit)

The snack for day 6 (vanilla-date smoothie) was delish! I finished it before I took a photo. But, I would make and drink one of those anytime!

rice pilaf, sauteed spinach, chicken with caramelized onions
Day 8 Dinner: This was really good. I topped the “chicken” with the onions from the spinach saute (Dan prefers uncooked spinach to cooked so it was easy to keep the onions separate). And, we were so full that we didn’t eat the baked potato.
cottage cheese, kiwi, pineapple, sunflower seeds
Day 9 Lunch and Snacks: Man, 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds is a TON! I learned that they’re much better toasted in the oven at 350 degrees until golden brown. Otherwise, I found lunch to be really tasty and filling (kind of surprising).
veggie soup
Day 10 Dinner: I made homemade veggie soup using up some of the leftover veggies in the fridge. Really tasty!
fish, cabbage, rice
Day 10 Dinner: This doesn’t look like much food, but with the soup, muffin, and apple, I was full.

So, there are some of the updates on the meals. Some are really tasty. Some just taste healthy. Everything is pretty filling. But, they’re all good for you!
