Back to Engine 2 Diet

As of May 27,  I started round 2 of the Engine 2 Diet for 2 reasons:

1. Get back to a plant-strong way of eating and stop eating foods that I know are not the best for me.  Not bad just not best.  Eating nearly vegan is best for me.  I will not continue to strictly avoid meat and dairy once the 28 days are over, but will only eat occasionally.
2. Honestly, to lose some pregnancy weight.  This time around, there is some weight loss motivation.

Last time I logged what I ate every day.  I’m not going to do that this time because I eat the same breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day.   I’ll post my dinners once a week.  So, here is what I’m eating:

Breakfast:

1. Smoothie (appx 16 oz).
2. 1 peanut butter bar square.  Occasionally 1 1/2 or 2.

Morning snack:

1. 1 handful of pistachios
2. 2 organic dried apricots (no added sugar)
3. 10 Mary Gone crackers
4. 1 energy bite (on a bad day, I’ll sneak in 1 more…really want to stick to 1 per day).

Lunch:

1. Big spinach salad with carrots, celery, red pepper, strawberries, a tablespoon of dried berry mix, and cinnamon.
2. Sweet potato with a little coconut oil and cinnamon OR homemade guacamole with baked corn chips OR sautéed veggies and rice.
3. 1 dark chocolate square for dessert

Afternoon snack:

1. An apple, nectarine, or pear.
2. 16 raw almonds

Dinner – varies.  Will post weekly.
