Goal: 80% Carbohydrates from fruit, 10% from fats, 10% Protein
I have been starting my day with hot water & lemon for the past 4 months and still continue this habit each day upon waking.
Exercise: 45 min Uphill hike/walk
Breakfast Smoothie:
5 Bananas
3 Apples
1 Cup Blueberries
= 888 Calories
(Went to the store to get more fruit :)
3 Oranges
500g Green & Red Grapes
= 550 Calories
3 Bananas
2 Apples
2 Cups Spinach
= 518 Calories
Dinner:
Romaine & Spinach Salad
2 cups Quinoa
= 598 Calories (not as much as I would have liked)
My dinner was almost a huge fail, I was preparing rutabagas as my root veggie + salad, forgot to add water to the steamer and essentially baked the pan :( and the rutabagas got a weird black tar/slime on them and terrible smell. So I decided not to eat them. So as a backup I made extra quinoa. I also had a small sliver of tofu. Surprisingly had no troubles digesting. Yay!
So Day 2 was overall a success besides my dinner problems, had a bit more fat than intended (probably the tofu). As you can see with my cronometer readings, I reached 98% daily protein needed for a woman of my size, plenty of calories from carbohydrates for my level of exercise, as well as 84% of nutritional targets met! 0% on B12, which at my last blood test 2 years ago was not deficient - but I do intend to begin a supplement as an excellent vegan one just hit the market. 0% Vitamin D from foods - I did get tons of sunshine yesterday. There is also a new excellent vitamin D3 for vegans I will be getting soon for rainy days. Other things that were low was Selenium, something I'm still learning about, at 51%, and Sodium at 33% which I am purposely keeping low (for now). Omega 6 was at 54%. Iron 91%. All other vitamins and minerals were well over 100%! Amazing!
Who needs a multi vitamin! Not me! Getting it all right from Mother Nature and LOVING it :)
Right now I am looking into/considering doing Hulda Clark's liver cleanse on Tuesday. I have the olive oil and grapefruit and epsom salts for it. I am basically going to play it by ear on my mental state - you can't eat after 2pm so I just want to make sure I am feeling good physically and most importantly emotionally. The purpose of the liver cleanse is to dilate the pathways so that gall stones and liver stones can pass through the intestines. When I eat fatty foods my liver feels swollen, which is a good indication that stones are present. Stones are often present in every person's body, so a cleanse isn't 100% necessary but for me I just want to make sure I am giving my liver, gall bladder, and pancreas all the support they need to digest all of the sugar I am putting in.
I downloaded an ebook about a 3 day 100% Raw 801010 Detox with recipes that I am planning to do once we get back to Dallas. Excited to just be fully raw for a few days! This entire journey is exciting and I feel so great.
Namaste,
Mary
