Day 1-Made Easy by the Dentist!

    So yesterday was Day 1 of the ED. I have to say that all in all, it went pretty well. But then, I knew that Day 1 would be fine....in fact I think that Day 2 and 3 will be good too....but I am dreading Day 4 lol. That is apparently when the DT's will start? Bring it on. 

   To add into the first day of the ED, I also started the 30 day Shred. Oh, and I can feel that in my legs today. On top of THAT, I also had a dentist appt in the afternoon to have a tooth pulled. It sucked. There are just no words that could have made it any better. So today, Advil and ice are my best friends and I don't foresee me eating anything solid till at least tomorrow......so smoothies, it is! 

  Yesterday I started with a smoothie for breakfast, just super simple, and yummy. I think that there are some things like flax, or chia seeds that I can add for a boost of nutrition, but I haven't researched that yet. 

I used:
  • 1 cup Almond Coconut Milk
  • Half a kiwi, skin left on
  • Whole banana, split in chunks
  •  A handful of frozen cherries
Just throw it in a wide bottom cup (or blender) and blitz it up...:) It makes a 2 cup smoothie, and it really is good! (excuse my picture taking...lol)





I did the Shred around 10 am while my youngest was in preschool. I didn't use the free weights because I couldn't find them.....courtesy of said youngest. However, found them where she had them stashed, in my bedroom lol, and will use them tomorrow. We (GP) and I aren't doing the Shred everyday, I think though that it is recommended(?). Not sure. Anyway, we aren't. Thank goodness, because today, my thighs are sore! I'm going to need that day of rest lol. 

For lunch, I again kept it really simple, and easy. 



 I had:
  • 3 slices of Pillar's Simply Free Black Forest Ham. This is all natural and free of all gluten, egg, soy, dairy, nuts, etc. 
  • Half an avocado
  • A big handful of raspberries
  • A whole banana
I drank about 4 cups of water yesterday, but I figured that with the smoothie I had for breakfast and the one I ended up having for supper, that it counted as liquid intake for the day. Also, anytime I was hungry or snacky, I grabbed fruit. An orange, a pear. I really wasn't hungry through the day, but it was definitely a different feeling then the "super full" one I am used to.  

Due to frozen mouth, the smoothie I drank for supper was pretty much the same as the breakfast one except no banana and added a handful of frozen mixed berries. I really despise the dentist.......

Oh! And I took my "before" pics.....ugh. Will upload those on my "Details" page later. Will also write my Day 2 post later on. Have to get my butt in gear for the day ahead. Which includes working......double ugh. Lol.
