Day 21- Lots of working!

So I ended up working a total of 17 hours so I wasn't prepared. At my 4am breakfast, I had chicken salad w/chia seeds in coconut milk. 

At 8am, I had 2 hard boiled eggs (that I purchased from the cafeteria) and my green veggie juice. I also munched on almonds and radishes. 

When I got home, I had some pistachios and then I took a "nap".

When I woke up, I didn't feel like eating anything so I made a hemp protein shake and pistachios.

Day 20- Feeling strong

One more day to go! 

My 4am breakfast was the usual...eggs, bacon, avocado & chia seeds. 

When I got home, I had some pistachios :)

When I woke up from my day sleeping, I had my green veggie juice and a chicken salad (chicken breast mixed w/homemade mayo). 

I somehow convinced myself to go on a 2 mile run before going back to work. After my run, I made a hemp protein shake (hemp protein powder, frozen banana, almond milk, almond butter, avocado, spinach, coffee beans and flax seed oil)

For dinner, I had some leftovers 

Pork chop, asparagus, and roasted brussel sprouts.

Day 19- Almost there!

I actually feel good at 4am. I don't feel tired like I normally would be when I wasn't on the detox. 

Breakfast was the usual. 

They were short staffed at work so I stayed an extra 4 (that's 16 hours total!). Luckily, I brought enough food but I'm surprised I wasn't that hungry. When I got home, I had a green veggie juice and pistachios and went to bed to do it all again later. It was nice to see some sun light...and beautiful flowers :)


After only sleep 5 hours, I woke up and made a hemp protein powder shake. 

Before heading in to work I had a pork chop, cauliflower mash and asparagus

Day 18- And the work week starts again

I can't believe I made it to day 18! I would've never imagined that. 

For breakfast, I had eggs, bacon, avocado and a coconut flour biscuit. 

I wanted to make some sriracha but the store I went to only had green jalapeƱos so I improvised. 

I have enough to last me awhile but it's only suppose to be good for a week in the fridge. Maybe I can freeze some?

I also needed some beef stock for a recipe I was going to make so I decided to make some w/the crockpot. I'm gonna let it cook for about 20 hours...


For lunch, I went to a baby shower and they had a taco cart so I just had chicken, guacamole and radishes 


For dinner, I grilled some pork chops marinated w/coconut aminos, garlic, rosemary, s&p and my green sriracha sauce. I had it w/roasted brussel sprouts and roasted garlic cauliflower mash

Day 17- Feeling strong

Since I haven't taken a picture of my work breakfast in awhile, I thought I'd take one. I also had some chia seeds w/coconut milk


I woke up around 1230 from my day sleeping and couldn't go back to sleep so I met up w/a good friend who is in town for a triathlon. We met at a dinner so I had steak and eggs w/avocado and salsa. I was hungry so I forgot to take a picture. 

I went to an engagement party and luckily there was chicken kabobs and beef and roasted bell peppers. 

Day 16- Back to night shift

Today for breakfast I made some asparagus w/eggs and a coconut flour biscuit. 

I swam 1500 yards in the pool. It was kinda boring. I prefer swimming outdoors but I didn't feel like driving to the bay to swim. 

After my swim, I had a spinach salad w/steak and veggies (I took a picture, but I think I deleted it by accident).

I made a hemp protein shake before I went to work. 

I'm only working one night than I'm off for  one and then back for 3 more.

For dinner, I had leftovers from dinner yesterday...stir fry w/zucchini noodles.

Day 15- Less than a week to go!

I decided to work an extra shift today so I had my usual breakfast. 

For lunch, I had kale salad with my leftover chicken salad from yesterday...

I didn't bring enough food to work today so I was starving by the end of the day! This is where all the cravings started kicking in but I made sure to eat my almonds and pistachios and I also remembered to hydrate myself. It's always hard to do that when you've had a busy day. 

When I got home for dinner, my boyfriend made a beef stir fry w/veggies (adparagus, bell peppers and arichokes) using coconut aminos and random spices. I had it w/my zucchini noodles. It was delicious!


I finally topped my day off w/a chocolate almond butter cup!

Good night.
