Primary Days 7-19

Hello there! Just a little update on the progress, everything is going wonderfully! I have missed a few days here and there of workouts due to my schedule (which should NOT be an excuse), but I am feeling wonderful! I have also had two days of cheating which I am completely comfortable with and haven't felt guilty about - but it really just depends on YOU. If you feel like cheating is a slippery slope then I wouldn't do it, but for me I can have a little treat on a Saturday and go without for another two weeks and be fine. The food options are much more open now on the Primary phase. I love the shirataki noodles, and highly recommend them! I have lost another 4 pounds...so go me!

Primary Days 3-6

So a little update about my progress: I have lost another 2.5 pounds! Very very excited about this! I believe that this happened due to the hard workouts I've been doing the last 6 days. My diet has stayed pretty much true to the books examples of what you can eat each day. I've just realized that it's just easier to follow exact recipes and ideas than try to come up with my own plans. 


If you want to know how the workouts are...oh let me tell you. I ALREADY feel stronger, slimmer, more toned, and unbelievable. The ONLY downside to the workouts are how sore you'll feel. I mean REALLY sore. I don't believe that their videos have enough warming up. I feel like they kind of just throw you into the moves pretty quickly which bothers me a bit - but it's all paid off! All of my hard work is starting to show itself on my body, and man am I appreciative! The "kardio" section of the first video kicks my butt the most. How were the videos for you when you first started them? 


I will admit to cheating...here and there...but not with sweets or bread. Just with cream and a tad of sugar in my coffee. I just prefer the taste much more than the black coffee. I am still liking the third pink drink, and I took a photo of all of the ingredients which I use if you are curious. 

Hope your day 20 is fabulous!

Primary Days 1-2

Hello there! So I started the Pink Primary phase and couldn't be more excited about it! Yesterday I got my butt kicked during the workouts. I did the Kardio and Yoga and the Kardio really killed my thighs. It's just another reason why I am doing this in the first place! My body is screaming to be healthy and fit! Yesterday for breakfast I had a slice of sprouted toast and two egg whites. For lunch I had some shredded chicken with a bit of curry on top. And for dinner I had some delicious pesto chicken on top of a bed of greens. I didn't drink a pink drink because I was smoothie-d out! Today instead of a smoothie I will make a juice in my juicer after my workout with some celery, apple, beet, spinach, and cucumber. 


I hope your Pink Primary phase is going wonderfully!

Last Day of Reset (Day 14 Breakfast)

Yay for me! Can't wait to have a nice slice of sprouted bread tomorrow. Here is my breakfast for today, I also had the pink drink #3.


Reset Day 13 Dinner

Tonight's dinner was another slam dunk! I made some homemade pesto vinaigrette:




2 T. Store Bought Pesto
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. Vinegar
1 T. Lime Juice 

The vinaigrette went over a big bed of leafy greens





I also marinated a 1 pound flat iron steak for my honey and I. I baked it on my cast iron grill at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and it was heavenly. The marinade consisted of liquid aminos, minced garlic, minced onion, and some salt and pepper. 


We also grilled some fresh purple asparagus with some pepper and garlic powder

Reset Day 13

I'm not drinking enough water! It was my goal for this week and I am still not following through and in turn - I'm not losing the weight I was when I WAS drinking enough water. Oh shame on me! Well today I had the pink smoothie #3 again, and later on in the morning I had a black coffee. 


For lunch I haven't been very hungry so I juiced some veggies: beet, celery, carrot, spinach and one apple. It's freaking delicious! It's like a little dessert in my mouth as we speak. For dinner I am having a marinated flat iron steak with a green salad. Tomorrow marks my last day on reset which, to tell you the truth, I CAN'T WAIT FOR! 


Things to look forward to: fruit, bread, hot cereals, cold cereals, shirataki noodles, etc. 


It may look yucky...but trust me, it's not.

Reset Days 10-12

I have been at a pretty stagnant plateau for the last couple of days with no weight loss. I am not quite sure what's going on, but I haven't changed my diet at all. Maybe my body has become used to this food routine. I am thinking of moving to the pink primary to get my body excited again and losing weight. 

I am kind of at a loss right now with no one to really talk to about it, so I will check out the Pink Method forums on their website and see what other people are saying. 

This morning (day 12) I had a pink drink for breakfast and for lunch I am thinking of having some tuna salad on top of a salad. Yum.
