Day 3


Started things off right today.  Juiced:
  • 2 grapefruits
  • 2 tangelos


Decided I’m going to quit putting “organic” in front of everything this blog.  Just assume that 95% of everything I eat is organic.

Breakfast was:
  • Sprouted grain bread
  • Peanut butter
  • Jam


Lunch was:
  • Cucumber
  • Carrots
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Hummus
  • Corn chips


Afternoon snack was:
  • Oat cereal
  • Almond milk


For dinner, I ate leftovers, but this time added:
  • Kalamata olives
  • Marinara
  • Eggplant
  • Tofu
  • Onion
  • Brown rice


Then for dessert:
  • Roasted yams
  • Maple syrup


And that’s the end of my day.  I’m kind of surprised that I’m not feeling horribly deprived.  Maybe it’s because I’m still having pretty big portions.  When I had the veggies, it was a whole big cucumber, two large carrots and about a cup of tomatoes.  That’s a lot!

No liquids today other than the almond milk with my cereal and the squeezed juice upon waking.  I’ll have to do better tomorrow.

  1. This is exactly how I transitioned form vegetarian to began in 2006. I started a new blog and chronicled what I ate, how I succeeded, and how I could have done better every single day. Even if it's only for you, journaling your experience gives you a sense of both accountability and accomplishment!

    Good luck!

  3. Thanks so much for your encouragement! I admit I'm not feeling my usual bloated self at the moment, but I know it's going to be a long haul (at least to reach my first goal). But I didn't put these pounds on a a week, so I have to be patient with myself.

    I'd love your blog link if it's still available.
