SP Purification–Day 21

Well, I made it, but just barely. I fell apart on the last day since it was our family’s Thanksgiving meal in the evening. Actually, falling apart really isn’t quite strong enough. I totally bombed–cranberry sauce with sugar, corn pudding, pecan and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Ah, the dairy and sugar galore! Today, I was just as bad–Halloween candy, ham, mashed potatoes, and other kinds of formerly forbidden foods.

Not much to report. Feel about the same. No weight loss. Ready for it to be over and looking forward to eating eggs again.

SP Purification-Days 13 and 14

Well, week 2 is drawing toward a close. I never thought of myself as much of a carnivore, but I sure am glad to have a little bit of meat with a meal now.

I made a delicious ratatouille last night, and I did find that quite filling. I still really miss eggs. I made scrambled eggs for the kids and it was all that I could do to not take a bite.

Another week to go….not quite sure what I am going to do after that.

SP Purification-Day 12

Chicken has never tasted so good.

Started off the day in a bit of a rush, so I forgot to take my supplements. I still must not be packing enough to eat for lunch and snacks because I was super hungry today. There only so many carrots a girl can eat.

I had a delicious supper though–small piece of grilled chicken, fresh green beans, and grilled portobello mushrooms–yum. Finished it off with a pear, banana, nutmeg smoothie. It is a totally different mindset to think of the meal as vegetables with a side of meat rather than the protein being the centerpiece.

Feeling good this evening. Not as tired as I usually am this time of day. Could be the chiropractic adjustment today as well.

SP Purification-Day 11

jnanevans — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:56:43 +0000

First official day of lean protein today. The program suggested fish or chicken,but I opted for some venison–very lean and no hormones or other icky things. I’m feeling fine. I’m tired, but who wouldn’t be after chasing after a two year old all day. I haven’t lost any weight which is a bit of a bummer. I didn’t do the program to lose weight but thought it would be a nice side benefit. I thought that cutting out all of the sweets I ate would have a certain weight loss effect. I’m probably eating too many fruits.

Tomorrow is another day.

SP Purification-Day 10

I didn’t do so great yesterday. I took the boys to a birthday party in the morning where they had lunch, and I had a few pieces of fruit. We stopped by Applebees to say hi to Mom, and I was really hungry by then. Mom gave me part of her salad, which had a little bit of cheese and chicken on it. I didn’t have an opportunity to go to the store, and I had very few vegetables left. I ended up eating butternut squash soup for supper and a shake later on in the evening–not much to go off for the day.

I did look through a lot of my cookbooks last night and have a plan for the upcoming week.

eggplant pizza
chili corn salad
ratatouille
tomato/avocado salad
artichoke/rice salad

with sides of venison, chicken, fish, rice, and lentils since on Day 11 I can add some animal protein to the mix.

SP Purification-Day 9

jnanevans — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 01:53:01 +0000

Day 9 almost over. I would strongly recommend not going out to eat with others while you are on this program. We went to TGIFridays this evening. I had a side of rice and vegetables–neither we’re particularly good. W had ribs, and E had macaroni and cheese. Yum.

I wish I could say that I have had major benefits from the program. So far I really haven’t noticed much difference–maybe a little bit of more energy in the evenings.

SP Purification-Day 8

jnanevans — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 02:07:25 +0000

First day of the Green Food supplement. Nothing significant to report. Also continued to use the dairy free powder today for shakes.

SP Purification-Day 7

jnanevans — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:02:44 +0000

Day 7 almost done. Today was the last day of the SP supplements. My order of the dairy free protein mix also arrived today, so we will see if that makes any difference.

I picked out a few veggie recipes to make this weekend which should help. The sugar cravings have been reduced, but I’m still looking for a snack around 2:30. It was carrots today. Not terribly satisfying I have to say.

Also, I would strongly recommend not opening up the capsules and putting the contents in water to drink. I tried that on the second day and regretted it. My throat felt like it was being scalded. The pain did subside with several drinks of water, but I will NOT be doing that again.

SP Purification-Day 6

jnanevans — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 02:38:08 +0000

It is 9:34 p.m. and I am so hungry. I don’t think I am eating enough on this program. I’ve really got to bump up the vegetable and water intake. It didn’t help any that I didn’t really get a lunch today and so the timing of all of my meals was messed up. Tomorrow is the last day of the SP Cleanse supplements, and then I switch to Green Food.

Nothing too exciting to report. Don’t feel awful; don’t feel fabulous.
