What Am I Eating Wednesday? Part IV

If you're looking closely you probably have noticed that I'm actually posting on Thursday. This is true, but this post is about the rest of what I ate Wednesday.

For those of you who might just be finding BigManWalking for the first time:

No I don't think what I eat is that interesting to the whole blogosphere! :-)

During the next few days and for the previous two days I am recording what I eat to show all of you readers that you can do this, too.

Using what I'm using is not a diet. It's truly a lifestyle. If you happen to not stick to it one day, don't beat yourself up. You didn't blow it. Just move on.

What I have found, though, is that it's not a challenge "sticking to it" and only when I CHOOSE to eat more I don't lose weight as fast.

Of course, one habit that I want to stress is drinking more water and I personally think cold water rocks and room temperature water I drink because it's good for me.

Last night around 7:45 I had my final Isagenix Isalean Shake for the day and this time I had no banana and only 1 1/2 scoops. Because I don't want a recurrence of gout I am looking at what my results will be if I lower the amount of shake ingredients over several days. Tomorrow I will start a cleanse for 2 days and there will be no shakes. I also like to add a little more water when I make the shake in addition to ice cubes. I like the volume. Instead of 8 ounces of water I start with 9 or 10 and then 6 or 7 ice cubes. My guess is that's 13-14 ounces of water total after the blender does its thing. When I add the ice cubes AFTER I blend the shake with the initial water I find that the action of the cubes being blended makes the shake much creamier. I'm pretty sure that's how the Isalean Shake is meant to be prepared.

Because the shake has live enzymes, it's important to drink it within 10 minutes to get the highest nutritional benefit. I'm usually done in under two minutes. I really like the chocolate.

About an hour later I had Isagenix Cleanse For Life and about 12 ounces of water as a chaser. Sometimes I like to have more water. Don't feel that you have to have the exact same amount every time, but do drink enough water with whatever you're taking in.

Around 10:00 I had Ionix Supreme and more water. I decided to stay up late and ended up remembering my wife's advice so I had some Bragg's Apple Cider vinegar in water around midnight. Drinking this much water you will probably find that if you weigh yourself before bed and then again when you wake up, the difference could be 2-3 pounds or more.

It's important to not be bothered by short-term fluctuations of a few pounds in weight. You might not have eliminated everything you've consumed and other times you might be retaining water. If you are exercising enough you could also find that you are putting on muscle, which is denser than fat, so the same volume of flesh weighs more.
