Day 21

Today got off to a rough start. Although I woke up at a decent hour, I could just not get my body in the grove of things. I had energy and was attentive, I think I was just a bit tired out from the extra amount of activity my body hadn't been used to.

12:00PM
-Fruit Salad-


4 md. Banana 420 cal
1 Mango 135 cal
1.5 oz. Blueberries 24 cal
1 Cup Baby Spinach 10 cal

Total 589 cal


This combination of fruit is becoming a staple for me. Mangos are perfectly ripe at the market I get them at right now, so I plan to take advantage of that. This past fall they were never ripe enough, so I chose not to eat as many. But, oh boy, are they delicious! I used a 1 cup base of baby spinach here as my body was literally asking me for greens. It's amazing how well I can read what my body requires now: something I never thought would be this easy.

2:15PM
-Snack Pack-


1/2 Cup Raisins 217 cal
25 Almonds 175 cal
3 md. Banana 315 cal
3/4 Cup Grapes 78 cal

Total 785 cal

I packed myself a bunch of different snacks to take to the skatepark as this would be my third and last day getting some real exercise in.

2:30PM
-Exercise-
I ended up skating for about 2 hours before becoming fatigued. I could now feel the small aches and soreness my body was experiencing from the good amount of activity I gave it the past few days.

4:45PM
-Snack-
3 Carrots 80 cal

After skating, I grabbed a few carrots to hold me over until I was able to make a larger meal.

6:30PM
-Green Choco-Banana Smoothie w/cacao nibs-


4 md. Banana 420 cal
1/2 Cup Baby Spinach 5 cal
1 1/2 Cup Mixed Greens 10 cal
1/4 Cup Water
2 Cup Ice
2 Tbsp. Cacao Powder 48 cal
2 1/2 Tbsp. Cacao Nibs 81 cal

Total 564 cal

This smoothie has been absent in my diet for quite some time now, which is surprising since it was a very dominant choice at the very beginning of the trial.

8:15PM
-Snack-

1 lg. Apple 116 cal

12:00AM
-Big Salad-


1 Avocado 322 cal
1 Carrot 25 cal
1 Stalk Celery 9 cal
1 Cucumber 30 cal
1/2 Lemon 12 cal
8 Green Beans 15 cal
1 1/2 Cup Baby Spinach 15 cal
2.5 lg. Leaves Romaine 13 cal

Total 441 cal

I was surprised I really didn't get hungry til around midnight, but decided better late than never. After having a similar awesome salad the night before, I could not resist making another. I picked up some green beans today, so they were added to the mix!

4:00AM
-Mid-Night Snack-

15 Grapes 51 cal
1 md. Banana 105 cal

Total 156 cal

I woke up in the middle of the night to a great hunger, so I satisfied it with some fruits. It is interesting to note that right before I went to bed at around 2:00AM, I was actually feeling a bit hungry, but since I was so tired, decided to just fall asleep. My body was telling me something here, as only a couple of hours later, I awoke in order to eat. Then it was right back to bed.

After getting off to a slow start, this day picked up steam and felt like a decent day overall.

And that concludes Day 21!
