Reclaiming my diet ... before the holidays

So, I did a 3-Day Refresh TYPE cleanse. I did not have the money to purchase the 3-Day Refresh from Beachbody and then all of the food on top of it. I have Shakeology in the house and I know recipes for a cleanse. Unfortunately ... and I am sure this is what many people do ... the day I went off my cleanse, I immediately went back to my regular diet.

You know what happens when you do that? EVERYTHING comes back! The things that have changed is I realize that I just cannot do dairy without my IBS flaring like no one's business. Except yogurt ... yogurt doesn't bother me. Anyone else have IBS that have noticed this? Let me know in the comments below.

Anyway, I digress ... I put all the bloat back on. I am not as tired though since getting rid of much of the crap in my system. We are now expanding our diets by shopping for healthier food options. We are leaving the "broke food" budget and looking at $100/wk for our family of 6. I am fully aware that the budget will have to increase after school is out, but for now ... it works.

While my kids will eat boxed cereal, mac & cheese, cottage cheese, and so forth ... my diet will look like:
B - Mean Green Smoothie
S - Tea (Green or Rooibos)
L - Shakeology w/Coconut milk, fruit, and healthy fat
S - Veggie
D - Healthy dinner
Bed - Tea

For example ....

Today, I made my Mean Green Smoothies for the week. I used my sister's technique because it works well for me. Then, I made myself a cup of green tea that I got in my #FrostyVoxBox from Influenster. It was SO good. I HIGHLY recommend the Candy Cane Lane Green Tea by Celestial Seasonings. I have to go get more because I was given 2 bags. Blarg.

My lunch was 30g of Pistachios, 1/2 a Braeburn apple (Turtle stole my other half), and then Chocolate Vegan Shakeology. YES, this fills me up! I will be having steamed carrots for snack. Dinner is Spaghetti, applesauce, and steamed broccoli. I will have another cup of tea before bed.

One other thing that I did to resist temptations was change my Pinterest boards. I have gotten rid of the cakes, desserts, cookies, candy, etc boards because they make me want to make food that is so bad for me. I have also decided to unfollow boards that I don't want to pin from. It helps me make that one step getting healthier. I still pin things for parties (appetizers), but everything else, I am sure I can search for recipes when I need something specific.

What are steps you take to get healthy? How do you eliminate temptations? Let me know in the comments below!
