10 Day Challenge - Coconut Creek

Just finished crewing at UPW Ft. Lauderdale! The last day of the event is all about changing the way we eat to have energy for life. My boyfriend Shane and I started yesterday.

Breakfast consisted of half an avocado on flax seed bread and a shot of udo's oil followed by a piece of pineapple. If your feeling good say, "I". I brought a snack of carrots and hummus to work to hold me over until lunch. The hardest part of the morning was to forgo my morning coffee for tea.

See we have to give up caffeine, alcohol, white products, drugs, vinegar, sugar, and nicotine. Your saying but tea has caffeine in it. Yes, I am not being as strict as I was when I did the South Beach Diet because that was unsustainable. Buying each little ingredient and going to the grocery store every night who has time for that. Anyway first I get off coffee replace it with tea, then I replace caffeinated tea for herbal tea.

Lunch was easy as I make the most wonderful salads with sprouts, carrots, peppers and cabbage. For dressing I use a piece of lemon and more udo's oil! I have been doing the salad with udo's oil thing for years. Sometimes after I juice with carrots and beets I throw the shavings in my salad. The fiber is in the shavings.

I was still pretty hungry after lunch so I went and had a 2 oz. wheat grass shot up the street. A little latter I had some raw cacao (chocolate before they process it) and some more tea.

Dinner time. Wow! I made it through the day without coffee and I'm still awake this is good! Shane and I hit the grocery store and bought some halibut. He seasoned it with olive oil, Celtic sea salt and pepper and it was so yummy! I roasted yellow zucchini, cauliflower, orange peppers, onions, and squash with olive oil, Celtic sea salt and pepper. He also made us some pesto sauce. We were very satisfied with ourselves and our meal.

For desert we made some chocolate ice cream with our Vitmix. We used chocolate almond milk, royal bee honey, cacao nibs, and vegan chocolate cookies. We did not add enough ice, therefore it was not frozen enough. I am going to try it today now that it is frozen.
