Hi chicks, hows today going? I am on day 6, phase 1 and I had scrambled eggs mixed with yoghurt, dill, cucumber and walnuts for breakfast. I am having some chilli con carne with green beans for lunch. Going out for dinner for a meal so I don't know what will be there. But you know what, for first time ever I am not scared of what is going to be served, I have faith in my higher power and I know that just today I will eat what I am meant to.
I looked at myself in a mirror yesterday and I thought my skin looks nice, then i actually got complimented on my make up free skin. For first time ever I will have a compliment about my skin! it is usually covered in pimples and spots and I blame sugar for that. Now that sugar is gone it is so much better. Anyone had that as well?
1 Smoothie: Kale, carrots, ginger,acai puree, banana, strawberries,soy milk,green powder, whey protein, ice (btw on the smoothies...I broke down and bought a vitamix a few months ago...way too expensive but worth every penny. I use it a few times a day)
2) turkey/spinach on flatout with chipotle laughing cow and grapes
3) seared tuna salad on spinach with pecans and raisins (eating this out at restaurant tonight..I'll be too tired to cook!)
4)of course sipping those chia seeds all day long in water and raspberry tea.

Hope for recovery, since you are in the UK, I imagine you already had dinner by now, but I wanted to say, I wish you the best of luck, and I KNOW you can make the right choices. Let us know how it went. Re: skin, I would would guess that since you're ridding your body of toxins, that would help with your skin, help clear out the pores? Since everything about the SBD is good for your body, and the skin is part of your body, it makes sense to me that your skin would start to be at its best as well as everything else.

Oh man, my whole wheat buckwheat crepes were pretty much a disaster last night. I think I'll post separately about that. But because I didn't eat a real dinner, I got really binge-y later and consumed a lot more .... Crap, yes, there I said it, crap, than I planned for. Oh well, today is another day.
Phase 2
B - "Muffin in a Minute" with wild blueberries, decaf green/white tea
L - Lentil salad (with diced red and orange peppers, beautiful), sprinkled with feta cheese and a couple of olives, glass of unsweetened soy milk
S - hard boiled egg, carrots/celery with hummus
D - Grilled ahi tuna steaks, mashed cauliflower, tomato salad
dessert - nonfat Greek yogurt

Busy day, so it's mostly going to be a repeat of yesterday:

D- Big salad with ham cubes, hard boiled egg, ranch, veggies
Cup lentil soup
Cut-up green/red pepper slices
D- bean brownie smeared with SF natural PB
(Yum, the bean brownies are delicious as they are, but OMG so delicious with a smear of Smucker's SF natural PB on top like 'icing', had that last night which I forgot to mark on my menu because it was a spur of the moment thing. It's to die for, it really hit the spot.)
***
Just got done making a big pitcher of lemonade, with real lemon juice and Nevella sweetener (sucralose like Splenda, but has added probiotics or something or the other. I only bought it because it was cheaper. I can get my probiotics from yogurts! But it's really good though. Just thought I'd mention that in case anyone's looking for some beverage or sweetener ideas.)
