Reclaim Recap: Days 3-7

Good morning good morning!

I am so excited to be writing this post this morning. It's a beautiful day today and I am stoked to get it started!

I am on a different computer so I don't have access to my pictures at the moment, but the minute that I do I will get them up here! I just wanted to go over my menu for these days and talk about how I've been feeling.

Truthfully I feel AMAZING! Tons of energy! Yesterday I went on a walk "with" my sister - this means that we call each other on the phone while we walk! It's an awesome way for us to stay connected and spend time together even though we're a thousand miles away from each other. Technology is pretty sweet! Anywhoodles, I was walking along just gabbing away and I felt like I could have walked. All. Day. Long. Seriously, there was no end to my energy! However, I had an appointment to get to at 10:30 so I had to be home within the hour. But my energy level has stayed up and consistent this whole time!

As I said before, I have already cut a lot of foods out of my diet due to health related issues. For many of you, that's why you follow my recipe page and read my posts - you eat the same way that I do! So I am fortunate to have gone through much of the "detox" from sugars, grains, etc a long time ago. Many people who do this cleanse have a rough time the first 3-5 days, but after the initial detox they feel great!

Okay, on to the menu portion:

Day 3:
Breakfast: Protein shake; 2 bananas, 10 oz unsweetened coconut milk, 2 T chia seeds, cinnamon, and a large cup of ice
Lunch: Brussel sprouts and roasted chicken
Dinner: Nori with carrot and egg, cucumbers with rice vinegar, coconut aminos & chia seeds

Day 4:
Breakfast: 2 eggs with brussel sprouts & broccoli
Lunch: Protein shake (same as above) and 12 almonds
Dinner: Chicken and veggie stir fry: cauliflower, bok choy, green onion, carrot, green pepper, coconut aminos, coconut oil
Snack: Apple

Day 5:
Breakfast: Quinoa with steamed broccoli, and cucumber/carrot salad (leftover)
Lunch: Chicken and veggie stir fry
Snack: Apple with 12 almonds
Dinner: Veggie stir fry (same as above, made a new batch)

Day 6:
Breakfast: Protein shake (same as above)
Lunch: Stir fry, almonds
Snack: Orange, almonds, coconut milk
Dinner: Oven roasted veggies: beets, parsnips, carrot, onion; & quinoa

Day 7:
Breakfast: fresh fruit mix seasoned w/cinnamon and nutmeg: banana, mango, apple, orange
Lunch: Oven roasted veggies w/quinoa, almonds
Dinner: Sweet potato, kale w/chia seeds, oven roasted veggies

So, as you can see I tend to eat a lot of the same thing! I like to make enough to have leftovers so that it is easier for me to grab and go the next day. The program does come with an entire meal plan and recipe guide, so you actually don't need to do as much thinking as I have, but again I follow a different diet so I have tweaked it to make it work for me. The only thing not typical of my regular lifestyle is the quinoa. I do keep that to 1/4 C or less per serving, just something else for my stomach to break down.

I hope you are enjoying my posts! I am excited to get through the next 2 weeks and tell you my results! Have an amazing day!
