Not completely proud of the loss but I wish the stores had salmon when I went. It was ridiculous. I'm going back today to see if they have some because that's what I really wanted. I saw this picture on Instagram that I'm going to share here because I like visuals of what helps. I want to stop eating dairy and grain products as much as possible. I really am just tired of being overweight. It would be nice to be in the normal weight range in a healthy way and for a long period. I need more recipes though to keep this up. 

The detox is turning into a lifestyle. I was craving the pizza that my family was eating yesterday but I'm going to come up with a non dairy non wheat solution. I was thinking maybe a zucchini boat or something with the cheese less pizza ingredients. Not sure.

I am shocked but shouldn't be because I couldn't eat anything at my father's except 2pieces of chicken that he specially made for me. Everything else I was either allergic to or was on the banned list. If I get into the 140s soon I'm  going to be blown away. It's going to be much easier to tell people I don't eat certain foods because I'm realizing just how much I actually hangout with people. Their opinion is invalid for telling me to put unhealthy foods in my system. No one I repeat no one has the right to feel entitled to tell me what I should or shouldn't eat. Could you imagine me around Christmas time if I were to keep up this clean eating idea? I still need to find alternatives to just eating plain raw broccoli. Maybe if I learned how to make my own berry vinaigrettes it might ease the idea because I remember raw broccoli always making my breath stink.

I'm happy to see the weight going down when I'm following the plan. The plateau had me worried. I want to make sure I get some variety soon so I don't get bored. I made a list yesterday of high fiber foods on the detox plan: raspberries, pears, apples, split peas, and broccoli. Then I made a list of nutrient dense food on plan: salmon, kale, seaweed, garlic, and eggs. 

It would be nice to make kale a staple food for my diet I'm just not sure of what to do besides salads. But I like that I'm making different types of salads so at least they are interesting. 

I need to set a budget for eating so I can remain thin from eating properly not from not eating. I will find solutions to my quests. I think rationing meat is going to be the biggest thing because it's so expensive.

Err. Yay! First time under 156 in a long while and I also made sweet potato fries myself last night using a recipe from Pinterest. The kale salads are really working out in terms of feeling like a good meal to make and they actually taste amazing. Now if only I could figure out how to make raw broccoli meals that actually taste good but are also on plan with this detox. I want to have variety in my food choices. I also think eliminating cheese and dairy will help in the long run because cheese is expensive. I would rather spend my money on olive oil and better cuts of fish. My life is about to get a whole lot more tight on my budget so I have to come up with ways to save money everywhere.

Sweet! I'll take it lol. I finished the initial ten day detox!!!!!! Woohoo! I finally made it past my goal of being under 160. The next goal is being under 150 but also to incorporate more vegetables into my routine for the next ten days. I need to eat at least one meal with green vegetables everyday to finish out this detox.

I am proud of my dinner but a little suprised my weight didn't budge. Maybe my dinner was too large. I'm happy that I was able to make an actual dinner. I split the salmon in half because it was a lot of salmon. I want to ration out what I'm eating so that it's more cost effective. That salmon was $13!! I can't afford to spend that much on salmon. If I had a sam's club membership I could probably get double the meat for that price. I would eat salmon every day then and alternate with chicken and sometimes turkey. The ground turkey is $6 a pound but I never see it on the shelf.

Err. I guess it's going to be harder than I thought to get under 160 pounds. I finally did some better grocery shopping so it feels like I could have a good week. I also cleaned and cooked chicken last night. 

My coworker suggested cleaning all the chicken at once and then freezing it so that when I'm ready to actually cook all I have to do is season it. I think I actually am going to make a special stop to Trader Joe's and get some pesto and zucchini for low carb pasta. I'm going to print out a low glycemic index again to post in both my apartment and at work. I need to remind myself about what is going to help me drop weight faster in a healthy way. I ate broccoli for breakfast. My figure already looks like it's changing in the mirror just from me exercising almost everyday. I want to know that I'm actually doing it though. If I can find more ways to incorporate greens into my diet without feeling like I'm weird than I think I will succeed in the long run. I mean I'm glad that I retained enough that the 160s is where my body is comfortable as opposed to the 200s but I would rather it be more comfortable at the 140s
