Exercise:
1-hour boot camp
Breakfast: 1-serving Bob’s Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal, 2 Tbsp almond butter, 1/2 banana sliced,
Snack: apple larabar, and later…decaf soy latte (tall)
*** From 9 am to 1:30 pm, I was out doing Back to School things with my son. I intended to treat him to lunch at Whole Foods, but the choices turned out to be too weird for his taste. He wanted a treat at the Target-Starbucks, hence my soy latte. Once we got home and I made the boy his almond butter & honey sandwich, I wasn’t in the mood to prepare something for myself. Hence, the random snacking that I call “lunch”.
Lunch: a couple tastes of almond butter while making the boy’s sandwich, 1/2 cup Soy Delicious coconut ice-cream (hey, I’m just proud that I actually measured it out and didn’t eat straight from the container!!)
Afternoon Snack: corn tortilla chips + homemade guacamole ( avo, tomato, red onion, salt)
Dinner: (2) carrot apple muffins with almond butter, 1 cup decaf instant coffee
Observations:
Um, yeah. Anyone else notice the huge lack of vegetables and actual “meals” today?!
My advice to anyone to does this cleanse, is to be prepared for Day 9 and Day 10, when the novelty has worn off and you’re tired of spending all day in the kitchen. Ideally, I’d have treated myself to a delicious GF vegan meal from a restaurant this evening. Unfortunately, no such place is around here.
I managed to abide by all the “rules” of the cleanse, but I wouldn’t exactly describe today’s eats as “healthy.”
One interesting note –my decaf soy latte from Starbucks… I’ve never had one of these before, and I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t have any packets of stevia with me so I didn’t add any sweetener to it. And I always always always add sweeteners to my coffees and lattes. Anyhow, I wasn’t expecting it to taste as sweet (and yummy) as it did. My son had a taste and promptly made a face, because he didn’t find it sweet at all.
Could my taste buds be changing?

i asked once at starbucks if their soy was “vanilla soy” and they said yes. they actually make it themselves. now, that may not be the case in your area. After all, I am in the coffee capital of the world. I love a decaf soy latte. it is very yummy. It was hot here yesterday - i had a snacky kind of day too. hang in there.
At the Starbucks I used to work at they used vanilla Soy Breeze, which has sugar in it… Maybe it is different now, that was a dew years ago. But wow for you, sticking with it for 10 days! You’re halfway done!
I thought that living in California, it would be easy to find such a restaurant :). No such thing even has a hope of existing here!
You are a huge inspiration!!!XX
It’s like anything worth pursuing, there will be days where it doesn’t all go to plan. Keep at it Kirwin, you’re doing great!
