YU 30, Day 21

Thursday, February, 21st

I feel super energetic today. Even though I only had a few hours of sleep, I was ready to go. I actually woke up to my alarm clock with out hitting snooze repeatedly to wake up. Who knew that our bodies will wake up when you tell it to?

I was told today that I am glowing. Ha! I am loving the compliments. I also like how my body feels. I feel so energized and ready to go. Usually by the time I am done with school I'm all tinkered out. It's a weird feeling to know that I was used to abusing my body with chemicals and things I would never give to my cat; yet I was an acception. I have noticed more positive thinking today on my ride to school too. Usually I have all of these negative thoughts wondering my head such as I could do better; why bother; that's never going to happen, etc. Now those thoughts are replaced with: I feel great. I feel awesome. I can't believe I was so used to the negative Nancy and accepted her criticism for so long.

Kims':
Breakfast:
I had a smoothie. I used a bunch of kale, mixed greens, strawberries, banana, squeeze of lemon, rasberries, and an avocado.

Lunch:
I had my a burrito from yesterday. It tastes even better a day older. mmmmmm.

Dinner:
I love leftovers. I love cooking too and being proud of myself. At the same time, I love being able to eat leftover and not have to cook anything. Burrito number three. Yum! I had some gluten free chips with the salsa. I am definitely making this recipe again.

YU 30, Day 20

Wednesday, February, 20th


Bays: day 2 of 7.
today's flavor is: fresh pineapple, avocado, fennel, lime and coconut water.

Breakfast: 

No school today!! Yes! Today I chugged a full glass of water when I got up. I made myself this “Okay Oh Kale” smoothie. I accidently forgot to put in the dates and added a banana along with some cacao powder. Delicious.


Lunch: 
Again, I’ve had some more leftover filling from the peppers. I’ve added avocado and some salsa to the mix to give a different taste. We made so much! I love leftovers. xoxox

Dinner:
I will be tackling this recipe, “Meghan Telpner’s Spicy Sweet Potato & Refried Bean Burrito"

              

OMG!! This was BOMB! If you love burritos and you love mexican food, you must try this. I can’t believe that I made it by myself. Usually Bay helps with chopping or telling me what to do. I only ate half of my very stuffed burrito because I became full and I can’t wait to eat more tomorrow. 

I edited the recipe a little bit. I didn’t add corn to the salsa but replaced it with half of a jalapeno. I also forgot to soak some black beans. Ha! The main part of the dish right? I used refried beans instead. The sauce tasted too much like lemon for my liking so I tossed in some nutritional yeast. I accidently added pine nuts instead of sunflower seeds but I think it tasted delicious. The sauce was a little runny. I think next time I will add some more unsoaked raw cashews if I want to make it thicker. Bay gave me that awesome tip. She is the cashew cheese queen. She also suggested adding water or lemon/lime in last. Then you can get the perfect consistency.

Today I learned about a new shampoo I could try called Prairie Naturals. I am really excited to try it. I am still struggling with my dry scalp and skin. Now, I need to figure out where I can buy some.
