Starting Phase Two

I've skipped a few days of blogging, so I'll summarize those as well as introduce the second phase which I started today.

So, the last three days were more of the same as I've described. Nothing terribly exciting. I'm lacking some serious creativity in the meal planning area, so it's a lot of the same stuff. Of course, given that I've gotten peppers on sale and then got peppers in my co-op basket, I've been eating a ton of peppers. You'd think I'd be tired of them by now. That and salads, but no. I'm not. Ok, maybe a little tired of the same things over and over, but I eat what's around and try not to be picky. After all, the lack of creative meals is my fault. In any case, the past several days looked a bit like this:

Day 8
- Spark Energy Drink
- Fiber Drink
- Breakfast - Smoothie (banana, strawberry, pear, chia seeds, gelatin)
- Morning Snack - green pepper strips
- Lunch - baked eggplant with fresh tomato sauce (sauce made with tomatoes, mushroom, onion garlic, peppers)
- Afternoon Snack - hard-cooked egg
- Dinner - bell pepper and egg scramble

Day 9
- Spark Energy Drink
- Fiber Drink
- Breakfast - Meal Replacement Shake
- Morning Snack - Banana
- Lunch - Salad (lettuce, green and red peppers, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, boiled egg, homemade Italian dressing)
- Afternoon Snack - Banana
- Dinner - Baked rosemary catfish, carrots, broccoli

Day 10
- Spark Energy Drink
- Fiber Drink
- Breakfast - Meal Replacement Shake, Banana
- Morning Snack - Banana
- Lunch - hard boiled egg, green and red pepper strips, tomatoes
- Afternoon Snack - Spark Energy Drink, blueberries
- Dinner - (ordered in) Sirloin Steak (this probably was a bad choice), baked sweet potato, house salad

So today, I started what I called "pill pushing." The second phase of this challenge is the "Max Phase" where I guess your body is supposed to be recharged to work better or something. This phase includes a ton of supplement pills. You take pills before breakfast, before lunch, at lunch, as well as the ones you were already taking at dinner time. It's crazy. Of course, part of it is also because I'm taking some optional supplements that were left over from when Hubs was doing it. There aren't enough of them to take them the whole time, but I'll take them until they are gone. They are after all, optional. In any case, other than the crazy quantities of supplements, my meals are roughly the same. Oh yeah, except, the guide pretty much says that the Meal Replacement Shake is breakfast every morning for the next two weeks, so there is that.

Ok, today's meals:

- Spark Energy Drink
- Breakfast - Meal Replacement Shake
- Morning Snack - Banana
- Lunch - Sweet Potato Veggie Soup (that I made on Saturday), hard boiled egg
- Afternoon Snack - Popcorn
- Dinner - Salad (lettuce, yellow and orange peppers, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, egg, homemade Italian dressing)

Alrighty. That's enough for today. I'll try to do a better job of chronicling this whole thing, but I may have to do the multiple-day summary again. Who knows. =)
