Reset Day 9 Dinner

Last night I made a delicious meal and I just wanted to share! I seasoned two chicken breasts with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and paprika. Then I put them into a cast iron pan and baked it for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. I don't think I have ever made such juicy and delicious chicken breast before! I think it may be due to the baking in cast iron, but I'm not sure. 


I decided that I was craving mashed potatoes, and because the Pink Method Reset doesn't allow potatoes I made a recipe for Cauliflower Mash instead - And I highly recommend it!!! My family loved it!!! I cut up one large head of cauliflower and boiled it for 10 minutes. I grilled some onions and a few tablespoons of ham in a separate pan. Drain the cauliflower and add to kitchen aide/vitamix/etc. Add the grilled onions and ham to the blended cauliflower mixture. Add some cut chives, Himalayan salt, pepper, and two cloves of garlic and serve warm. 

And I drank over 90 ounces which was my goal! It was really hot here in Oregon yesterday, so I felt like I needed more water than usual. But yay for reaching my goals!

You know what is really motivating!?!?

THE BIGGEST LOSER on NBC.com!!! I've been addicted the last week to watching it. I'm already on episode 10 on season 13. I highly recommend this show instead of something like America's Next Top Model because I have so much in common with these emotional eaters! Anyways, you can find it here: www.nbc.com. 

Reset Day 9 Recap Over the Weekend

Hello! It was a wonderful weekend with friends and family and healthy eating! I went to a few restaurants to eat over the weekend and made some hard choices, but the choices were very thought out and healthy! I had a hardwood grilled salad with grilled chicken and a side of salad dressing. For breakfast one morning I met with my family and switched my breakfast and lunch. So for breakfast I had two scrambled eggs with veggie sausage and for lunch I had my pink drink smoothie. Funny thing was that I was full after eating half of my tiny breakfast - so my appetite and stomach have definitely shrunk! 


One downside of the weekend was that I wasn't drinking enough water and so my goal for this week is to drink a minimum of 90 ounces each day. Every day that I drink enough water I feel great by the end of the day and I show weight loss in the morning. 


I am so proud of myself for these last 9 days. I have this insane motivation and I am not going to stop going! I feel amazing, I am looking better, my face is thinning out, my clothes are a bit loose - and this is all proving to be worth it. I am learning to eat slowly, savor my meals instead of scarfing it all down. 

Reset Day 5

Today has been a very busy and odd day for my diet wise...I've had a lot of school, studying, dentist appointments for my daughter and I, etc. so eating was sorta the last thing on my mind. 


For breakfast I had the pink drink #3 (of course). For lunch I had one scrambled egg with bell peppers, onion and diced ham, and shame on me - I didn't have any dinner. I know that was a mistake, but it was 9:30 pm by the time I had a minute to eat and I felt like it was too late. I didn't want to have a late night dinner because I felt like it would mess my body time clock off. So no dinner...and I am pretty starving right now considering the lack of calories I had today, which was probably under 600. Big mistake. Tomorrow I'll do better and make sure to eat all three meals + veggie snacks of course! 


I have felt great today overall, lots of energy throughout the day, kind of a body high in the morning! When I walk a lot, especially at school, my body feels so weak - almost a dizzy feeling. This is most likely due to lack of calories - but not lack of water! Man, I have drank SO much water these last 5 days! Now I see through my results of weight loss this week that water is a HUGE contributing factor to losing weight and losing weight on The Pink Method. 

PROGRESS

Reset Day 1 4/15 = 182.1 

Reset Day 2 4/16 = 180.2 (-1.9 lbs)

Total weight lost = 12.6 lbs from starting weight

Whooooo hoooooo!

Reset Day 4 Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Hello again! Didn't post yesterday, but thought I would post what I ate and felt for yesterday anyways. For breakfast I had the pink smoothie #3 (which I think I will be sticking to), for lunch I had egg salad on cucumbers, and for dinner I had steak with asparagus and grilled onions. I am definitely sick of eating egg salad so today I will have to mix things up with a salad and tuna or something along those lines. I felt great today, and had a lot of energy and motivation. It is still hard to pass up baked goods, bread, and peanut butter I am dying for! But as the days go by I feel less tempted and more excited to get my body back and to be healthy. Hope your day 4 of reset was a good one!

Reset Day 3 Dinner

Oh baby! Dinner was freaking amazing. I am a mushroom lover at heart, so I grilled some mushrooms with some fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. Then I grilled a 4 oz. piece of steak with the same ingredients and man oh man! Definitely didn't feel as if I was starving myself at all today. I feel great!

Sooo this might be TMI after all of this food talk - but the craziest thing ever for me is how clear my urine is after drinking so much water these past 3 days!!! I think I have been dehydrated my whole life! Anyways, yay for clear urine!
