We're taking turns buying little wooden boxes full of clementines (as seen here), but more importantly, we each get a box to put our own personal fruits in. Once we all have boxes I will take pictures and post our personalized fruit flairs. It will be fun. (I'm big on grapefruits.)
Welp, it has come time for us to re-organize the fridge. We have many unhealthy (pre-cleansing times) items prevalent in the there so we shoved it all to the back (in case we completely crash one day).
Veggies and fruit have taken there place on top (as it should be), while deli meats, cheeses, yogurt, and eggs are on the second shelf. The bottom shelf houses all of the things we probably should stay away from: all of our juices (apple, cranberry, and grapefruit)...But this shelf also contains items that are tall, and okay to eat.
But you know...we still eat salad dressing, mayonnaise, cheese, milk, honey mustard, (not really sour cream, even though you can see like five containers in there), and other condiments...
but we just use them sparingly.
Actually I have found that I enjoy those little things to pump up my meals, since I'm mainly eating vegetables and fruits all the time now. I feel that I deserve it, and hey, it's okay!
My consistent weaknesses that I have cut out of my daily diet:
- cereal
- cookies
- fruit juice (even if it's "100% juice")
- rice
- pasta
- orzo
Day 7 - We Made It Through an Entire Week!
(I apologize for the quality of all of these "cleansing" pictures. My apartment doesn't offer much light and these meal-time shoots usually take place at night with bad tungsten lighting...and I really can't stand flash.)
Tonight I altered one of my favorite regular dishes. I mean I usually make this dish but I add a bunch of orzo and feta cheese.
I sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil for about 5-10 minutes, then added in the green bell peppers, put the lid on and let it cook together for a few minutes.
I put olive oil in a pan, put in my Tilapia fish, seasoned it with rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper and let it cook in the oven (covered with tin foil) for about 20 minutes.
Wah-lah! And I am not lying when I say the veggies were better than the fish! (Although that probably has something to do with my lack of knowledge in how to flavor/cook fish.)
