I decided to go ahead and test cheese today because I've been craving it for days! I believe it is important to listen to our bodies. Today my body said cheese, so I did it right. There will be no cheetos, doritos or cheese nips...just straightforward cheese sticks. That said...Oh my! CHEESE! So excited! It was amazing :)
I started working out again today...Hula-hooping left bruising as it usually does the first time around. I feel so much better after a good workout!

La-la-Lizze on The Plan!
More like Lizze OFF The Plan!
I'm finally done with my horrible cold or flu... Whatever it was that was keeping me down. I had a really hard time eating on The Plan while I was sick because I was too exhausted to prepare my own meals or post on my blog. I apologize to those out there who read it daily.
When I was 2 down to cook, Adam cooked. Adam cooking usually means eggs and toast, fast food, frozen pizza or other convenience food. Between his food choices and my 5 days of womanly angst paired with being sick... I did put back on 2lbs. But, hey, I know that The Plan works, so I am not afraid of those 2lbs!
I started this morning with flax granola, blueberries, coconut milk and detox tea. Lunch was a salad with zucchini carrots cucumber goat cheese dressed withyou blueberry balsamic vinaigrette and a bowl of carrot ginger soup. I am planning on doing it a plan friendly dinner.
Tomorrow I will Make a plan based on my weight. If I am back down to where I was when I was testing, I will continue from where I left off. If I my Wat is still up or has increased somehow, I will do the 3 day cleanse before I start testing again.
See you tomorrow!

Red wine spritzer (Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir) with 1 oz of chocolate (Hershey's Special Dark).
DAILY RECAP
I have a bad feeling. I'm pretty sure I'm reactive to wheat. While I was eating my bread I had a difficult time swallowing. Its a bit hard to explain, but it felt like I had strep. I sure hope not. I love lots of wheat based foods. I suppose it could be the raisin and wheat combination. The salad with lunch was awesome by the way.
I had a wonderful day with my boys! I just love the weekends. I find that I'm actually getting sleepy at the right times now....but PMS is on the way. We'll see how that goes!

LUNCH

SNACK

DINNER
Chicken with lemon garlic sauce, salad and sauteed veggies with orange oil and spices
DESSERT
Red wine spritzer (Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir) with 1 oz of chocolate (Hershey's Special Dark).
DAILY RECAP
I'm not sure if potato chips are worth the calories without salt! I think I'll make my own by rubbing garlic paste on potato slices, misting them with EVOO and baking them. Now that sounds tasty. I guess I'll finish the bag and next time around I'll make my own. I'm really not sure I can only eat 1oz of potato chip...I really want to eat the whole bag...the texture...oh, the crispidy crunchiness!
Lemon Garlic Sauce? Well it's made with roasted garlic and it's more like a paste....but it is dang tasty! I still miss the taste of salt. I did find Maine Coast Seasoning on Amazon and they're more than I'm prepared to spend this week...Soon though!
I have been making my wine into a spritzer with flat, no calorie, flavored water. Since I'm not crazy about red wine, it makes it more enjoyable for me.
I'm still sleeping great and feeling great. Adam brought home McDonald's after work. I can't believe how disgusting it smelled to me. I was bracing myself for intense cravings that never happened. SWEET!
On a different note, I've really been missing my friend and family from Ecuador. I spent a year in Portoviejo, my senior year of high school. It was an absolutely amazing experience that left me a much better person. I miss everything; people, food, places! Most of all I miss my Manimals, the group of incredible friends I got to experience everything with. I pray that I will get to see them soon!

DAILY RECAP
Today was an interesting day. I am pleased that I passed the goat cheese test! I was nervous that I wouldn't. Cheese is a great pleasure in my life, I hope I have good result with cow cheese as well. Cow Cheese? That sounds ridiculous!
I had steady energy all day, not the manic ADHD energy I usually have. At 'nap time' I just put on the Brainwave Tuner app on my phone and meditated on my goals.
I spent a lot of time going back and tweaking my old entries, fixing mistakes and updating images. Around snack time I realized that I didn't have the apricot jam or zucchini I needed to prepare chicken. I made a list and got Ollie ready to head out the door (this always takes so much more time than anticipated).
Shopping took forever! I had to get my list and the big boys list. I was having a very hard focusing because Ollie was bored and demanding entertainment. I was goofing off with my chunk-a-monk, not paying attention to where I was in the store. I had to back-track so many times! I'm not sure why, but my body does not like grocery shopping. Perhaps the stress produces cortisol? I am always swollen and bloatey after household shopping.
When we got home, I spent an hour putting groceries away. By the time I had dinner on my plate I was two hours away from bed time! *Adam asked to have a bite of my dinner today. That means that it looked and smelled awesome. :)
If my weight has stabilized or gone up tomorrow, I'll have a difficult time deciding the cause. Am I reactive to Rye or did the combination of Grocery Bloat and eating & drinking too late in the evening cause my gain? I guess we'll see tomorrow!

DAILY RECAP
I slept last night! I was still up too late but I got 7hrs of sleep! That is such an improvement. I feel so good. This may be a day with no nap. I knew "The Plan" was supposed to help with insomnia, but I had my doubts. No more doubts. Eureka! I just realized I haven't had my usual even brain pain, I've been headache free for day. Wowzers. Oh, and another pound down!
Breakfast was the usual flax granola, blueberries and coconut milk with a side of tea. I did have the option to swap blueberries for 1/2 an apple or pear. I love blueberries too much to say goodbye to them. Again, I made my way through breakfast slowly and really enjoyed the experience.
Ollie hasn't been crazy about me spending so much time with my focus on me instead of him. Today he went and got my blanket and followed me around because he wanted cuddles. I really only had five minutes until Lunch was ready and he does this:
After I gave in to the little evil angel we had lunch together. Today I tested 1oz goat cheese on my bed of green with pumpkin seeds accompanied by 1 cup of last night roasted veggies.Yummy! I had no idea that I would like goat cheese, but I do! I ate everything on my plate for the first time (excluding breakfast).
I passed the chickpea test, so I got to have homemade hummus (minus tahini) today! Officially the first snack that feels like a real snack to me. I was heavy handed when I spiced my hummus, so happy I did.
I adore "The Plan" Mango Cucumber Salsa! I had it on a bed of mixed greens with carrots and avocado. Sidled up to my tasty salad was a wellspiced bake chicken breast and steamed broccoli drizzled with orange infused olive oil and sprinkle with chili flakes. This meal was so satisfying, even Ollie dug each dish.
Mmmm! Chocolate, 1oz of hershey's special dark and a glass of red wine. I am a white wine girl but I thought I'd give red a chance. I am sipping Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir as a type. I like, not as delectable as Risata's Moscoto, but hey...I found a red!
I can't believe the changes I've experienced in less than a week. I've lost 4.4lbs and several inches. My energy is up and so is my sleep. My skin is clearer and my headaches are gone. Food tastes better everyday. I no longer suffer from seesawing bowel movements. I have only really had one mood swing and I should be amid crazy intense PMS right now. Usually PMS includes bloating, body aches and irrational emotional swings for me. Last night, I had one moment where my mood dipped but it lasted for less than 20minutes and I recognized what was happening. I was just upset because the whole house was spotless and my boys came in from work and the house exploded around them into disarray.
I am nicely relaxed...time to go chill with my Ollie and read a story. :)

DAILY RECAP
My sleep is slowly improving! Oh, I deviated from The Plan yesterday and I was very nervous that I would gain weight back....but I still lost weight! Thank you smart choices, lemon water and detox tea! I am so relieved. Still, I'm redoing yesterday.
I have started taking more time eating my breakfast...maybe an hour today. That hour does not include the 30min+ I spent on the my daily lemon water and tea. I like savoring my breakfast. :)
I was supposed to leave after breakfast, but while I was journaling with the Momzoe I decided to stay for Lunch. We had tea and left to get some groceries in Aurora. I tried to get all that I needed for lunch and dinner, plus a few great deals! Goat cheese, 3.5oz for $0.99, Fresh Steamable Broccoli for $0.99? Crazy! I clean 'em out! We drove home and I went straight to making lunch.
I subbed mixed greens for baby romaine and topped it with lemon juice, avocado, carrots and pumpkin seeds. I found my Spicy Vegetarian Soup as well.
I definitely need to spice up the remaining soup! Right now it tastes exactly like the carrot ginger soup. Not a fan, though Ollie loved the chickpeas. My salad was tasty!
I left after dinner, but it was hard. It is always so difficult to leave my mom, even if I'll see her a few days later. Ollie was asleep after just a few minutes in the car and I tried my best not to follow suit. I was so tired! I sang to keep myself awake but I barely made it to Lincoln.
Of course, as soon as we were home I was wide awake and so was Ols. I unpacked up and started Dinner. While I prepped dinner, Ollie had been really grumpy. He kept being naughty and getting into things. Eventually I think he gave up and got climbed into the sleepy rocker with my blankie.
Wow! Dinner tonight was the most satisfying meal I've had on the plan. The Italian Roasted Veggies were so tasty, the chicken was so flavorful and moist...and the salad with mango cucumber salad? Perfect! Nomnomnom!
The rest of the day was a blur of cleaning, unpacking our suitcase and getting ready for bed.
Til tomorrow!

BREAKFAST
Flax Granola, Blueberries & Coconut Milk.
LUNCH
1c. of brown rice with a huge mass of collard green and a bit of butter and handful of almonds.
DINNER
Carlos O'Kellys chicken fajita plate with double veggies and avocado, no tortillas, rice or beans.
DAILY RECAP
I woke up to a friend popping in the patio door, shouting my moms name. Not a pleasant way to wake up. Ollie went down rather easy last night and woke up happy as can be today. I can tell that we will need a small nap in a hour or two.
I've noticed a positive change. Yes, my weight stabilized today, but I expected that since I ate my dinner and had my last cup of tea much later than usual. To be cautious, I will be retesting almonds down the line. The change I'm talking about? I've been getting dressed right away in the morning. Usually I'm a pjay almost all day girl...but I have to strip down for my daily weigh-in, so I go ahead and get dressed!
Mmm. I like this detox tea, it tastes a bit like black licorice smells. I DESPISE black licorice, but I find the tea comforting and tasty. Other than the tea, this morning is like any other. 160z of water with lemon, flax granola, blueberries, coconut milk and my daily probiotic.
I spend the morning meditating, bumming around with Ollie and then having tea with mom and our friends when they got back from running errands. After our Dave & Cici left, mom and I sat down to journal together while Ollie practiced putting money in his piggy bank. My thoughts were everywhere, so I left the page to prepare Lunch.
I was supposed to have baby romaine with 1/4 avocado, carrots and pumpkin seeds with Spicy Vegetarian Soup and 1/2c chickpeas. That didn't happen. My salad was disgusting from travel/being in the fridge for a few day...salad is always better freshly prepped. My soup was nowhere to be found. I had to improvise...so I did what I could.
I ended up eating 1c. of brown rice with a huge mass of collard green and a bit of butter and handful of almonds. So flipping delicious! I could eat that a couple times a week. We'll see if there is any damage on the scale tomorrow.
Right after Lunch, momzoe happily informs me that our friend Boss (Dave) would like to take us out to dinner so he can visit with me and Ollie. I panic! I am not supposed to eat out on the plan. BUT I didn't pack dinner because I planned on preparing it fresh for the family. I can do this. I will have my snack as planned and then be very careful at Dinner.
Carlos O'Kellys...oh man, I dreaded those chips and salsa from the minute we decided to go there. I really shouldn't have. I was perfectly fine, only feeling a little pang of jealousy as I watched two baskets disappear into the hungry mouths of Momzoe, Boss and Ollie. I sipped my lemon water with no ice while they munched. Side note*my thyroid is under-active so I drink all my beverages room temp or warmer to promote my thyroid function. I ended up ordering the chicken fajita plate with double veggies and avocado, requesting that no salt be added during the cooking process.
It was good, but not well spiced. I can tell they really depend on salt to make their food tasty. I've grown used to tons of spice and being able to taste the real notes of the food. I still enjoyed dinner because I was having fun with people I love.
Dave dropped mom and I off at our good friend Robby's house. Robby lives across the street from our house and invited us into his home when we were working on our house and is still letting us use his kitchen and bathroom whenever we want since ours don't work yet. We watched some A League of Our Own and I made mom and I had 1.5cups of detox tea to help our bodies process all the sodium from dinner. We each had headaches within an hour of dinner. I'm guessing it was from the MSG. After TV time we went home and settled in, talking for hours.
I'm nervous that my weight will be up tomorrow. At least I will know the exact cause. I am redoing this days menu tomorrow. I am proud of myself, I stuck with the diet as best I could. I may have deviated from the menu, but I did it all foods that have proven friendly for my body. In the past, a slip-up like forgetting to pack a meal would have sent me into a weird binging phase. "I already messed up, might as well eat the cheesiest, crunchiest and naughtiest thing on the menu...psht...why not binge on chips while I wait? Heck, where is my Mug'o'rita?"
Going to be feeling positive'ish.
Night world!

DAILY RECAP
I woke up to a friend popping in the patio door, shouting my moms name. Not a pleasant way to wake up. Ollie went down rather easy last night and woke up happy as can be today. I can tell that we will need a small nap in a hour or two.
I've noticed a positive change. Yes, my weight stabilized today, but I expected that since I ate my dinner and had my last cup of tea much later than usual. To be cautious, I will be retesting almonds down the line. The change I'm talking about? I've been getting dressed right away in the morning. Usually I'm a pjay almost all day girl...but I have to strip down for my daily weigh-in, so I go ahead and get dressed!
Mmm. I like this detox tea, it tastes a bit like black licorice smells. I DESPISE black licorice, but I find the tea comforting and tasty. Other than the tea, this morning is like any other. 160z of water with lemon, flax granola, blueberries, coconut milk and my daily probiotic.
I spend the morning meditating, bumming around with Ollie and then having tea with mom and our friends when they got back from running errands. After our Dave & Cici left, mom and I sat down to journal together while Ollie practiced putting money in his piggy bank. My thoughts were everywhere, so I left the page to prepare Lunch.
I was supposed to have baby romaine with 1/4 avocado, carrots and pumpkin seeds with Spicy Vegetarian Soup and 1/2c chickpeas. That didn't happen. My salad was disgusting from travel/being in the fridge for a few day...salad is always better freshly prepped. My soup was nowhere to be found. I had to improvise...so I did what I could.

La-la-Lizze on The Plan! Day 3
La-la-Lizze on The Plan!
Day 3 Weight: 153.2
Heaviest Weight: 166.6
The Plan Start Weight: 156.6
Mood: Energetic but a foggy
Menu: Lyn-Genet Recitas' The Plan, Day 2
PRE-BREAKFAST
16oz of water with lemon, Twining English Breakfast Tea
BREAKFAST
Flax Granola, Blueberries & Coconut Milk.
LUNCH
Mixed greens with 1/2 diced apple and 1/4 avocado and broccoli with orange oil
SNACK
1/2 pear with 8 almonds
DINNER
Leftover kale, veggies and pumpkin seeds with beet & carrot salad with sunflower seeds.
DAILY RECAP
In reality, this is my third day on The Plan. I woke up groggy. I ended up staying up very late last night getting ready to go to my Momzoe's for the weekend. I usually spend a week home with Adam in Lincoln and then the alternating week home with my mom an hour away in Marquette. I drove up yesterday for her birthday even though I couldn't have a celebratory drink or go out for dinner and dessert like we usually do. I had to prepack all my meals and it was a little taxing. I don't like eating out of tupperware. :(
I've grown used to my flax granola, blueberries and coconut milk. I like it, Flax Granola For Life! Again, I feel great after breakfast. I got more sleep than usual last night.It still wasn't nearly enough, but I didn't need my usual nap. That's probably good because my Momzoe is so active that napping makes me feel guilty unless its a group activity.
Lunch was very unattractive after an hour trip in tupperware from Lincoln. I managed to eat over 1/2c of Carrot Ginger Soup with chia seeds today! My mixed greens with 1/2 diced apple and 1/4 avocado got a little mushed, but the broccoli with orange oil was still tasty!
Dinner was leftover kale, veggies and pumpkin seeds with beet & carrot salad with sunflower seeds. I was supposed to eat one cup of brown rice but I completely forgot. After smelling fast food...dinner was so BLAND. The beet and carrot salad had started to get sour (which is normal but unappetizing to me).
I ate much later and had water much later than usual. I'm afraid my weight might be up tomorrow.
Well, I'm signing off for the night!
