Magical Fruits! (Day 8)

Breakfast:

1Qt Watermelon Juice

Very refreshing! My boyfriend was appalled that I would blend a watermelon and not just eat it! But eating it takes concentration. Drinking it does not. I will say that drinking it has a different flavor...or maybe it's because it was in the fridge all night? It just almost seemed like I was drinking pure sugar. Very sweet. Maybe I'm just thinking it tasted different because I was DRINKING watermelon rather than eating. It has made my stomach burn like the grapefruit juice did. Wonder if I should try drinking a glass of water before I drink the juices.

Exercise:

Simple Stretching

Therapy Exercises
Ran out of time to do the yoga this morning, but I'll be walking on my lunch, hopefully stretching throughout the day, and running after work (or walking, depends how my body feels)! Kind of excited for this!!

Snack:

24 Oz Watermelon Juice

1 Aprocot

Don't know if it's the watermelon juice that's giving me uber amounts of energy (I only got about 5 hours of sleep) or just the cleanse itself, but I AM SO ENERGETIC!!! It's kind of awesome. Been making sure I get up and stretch everytime I hit the restroom (which is often, with the mass amounts of water I drink!). Feelin' GOOD!

 

Lunch:

1 Orange

1 Apple

1 Mango

1 Banana

1 Kiwi

1 Carton Blueberries

1 Pear

Juice of 1/2 an Orange

 

Oh man, I was cutting this all up at work and it looked so awesome! People were highly jealous when they saw my mound of fruit. Wish I could have found the raspberries because it would have added a beautiful color to the bowl, but what I had was amazing! I had brought apricots to add in place of the raspberries, but decided to save them for a post workout snack. I ate about 3/4 of the bowl just now and am stuffed! It was SO delicious! Will save the other part for just before leaving work and going for a run. Currently bouncing in my chair! Loved this :)

 

Exercise:

Stretching

Hand Weights

Squats

 

Didn't get to go outside for a walk, but I did bust out the yoga mat and get my body moving! Glad I brought the weights into work since I have another set at home. Hope to make this a habit! I'd love to make sure I take a 10-15 min break every couple hours to do some movement.

 

Snack:

The rest of lunch

 

Nom nom...

Exercise:

Walk/Run for 50 min

Didn't anticipate how HOT and humid it was outside! I hadn't been out all day. Got dressed in my workout clothes at work and as soon as I walked outside was like "WHOA!" but I decided I was still doing it. If others can do it, I can too! And I've been itching to run! I love that feeling. I went on a trail that I pass by daily. Knew of a parking area on the drive home and went one direction, which wound up being a dead end, and then the other direction, which branches out and extends for a bazillion miles north and south in North Dallas and Plano. Definitely want to bike the path! It was nice to enjoy the outdoors regardless of how hot and how much I sweat. The sun peaking out from behind big fluffy clouds was beautiful. The slow, giant bumblebees that hovered from flower to flower, the dragon flies that tried desperately to avoid the birds that dived for them...it was a wonderful feeling of being alive!

Snack:

3 Apricots

I actually found this to be too filling after the run and saved one for much later. Sipped on water mostly.

Dinner:

4 Oranges Juiced

1 Cup frozen fresh Blueberries

1 Banana

2 Apricots

About 1/3 of this remains in the fridge. It was delicious, but I am so full! I just want water. I'm really looking forward to greens tomorrow. Too much sweetness today! I really wanted a salad tonight. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!! I'm also interested to see how the morning smoothie will taste. I've not ever had a real green smoothie that didn't involve 75% fruit.

Water Intake:

96+ oz
