Good morning! I am struggling with a sinus infection so staying home today to try and recover. This morning I hopped on the scale and I am officially down to 212.8 lbs. The lowest weight I have been at since my post-op weigh in back in 2012.
I have been reading and watching documentaries on juicing and debating the pros and cons of trying it. In the end, I bit the bullet and bought a $99 juicer (no sense going all crazy with a top of the line one in the beginning) and picked up some extra vegetables and fruit. This morning I made a ginger shot.
Ginger Shot
1/2 apple
3/4" ginger root
It wasn't too bad and it is supposed to help with allergies. It really is just a small shot of juice.
After that, I decided to really try a "juice-juice". I had a couple handfuls of spinach, 2 1/2 apples and 3 carrots. Overall, it wasn't bad. I could drink it without grimacing and after 15 minutes, I felt pretty full.
Even with buying my extra vegetables and fruit, I was able to keep my weekly budget for food to $70 this week. Of course, I am cooking just for myself, but eating healthy is not cheap as we all know. This week I am incorporating black beans in to my lunch and dinner meals. Black beans are cheap and go a long way. I am also using some Ezekiel bread that has been in my freezer for a while to serve as my morning snack with a tablespoon of almond butter.
I'll let you know how this week goes. Hopefully, next Sunday I can be slow 210!
