Day 2 was challenging. We ended up not working because of the Polar Vortex, and I was home all day. Not a good place to be when I have been eating everything and anything for the past few weeks! But I made it through with veggie soup, apples and my spinach and blueberry "smoothie". And I was very hungry all day and had a headache!
Day 3 started with fruit salad at a meeting, then some carrots and other veggies. When it was lunch time, I just could not eat the vegetable soup I had made. I am not sure why, but the thought of eating it was just making me sick! I had a huge apple and snacked on some roasted edamame in the afternoon. My head was killing me and I was starving.
I made a decision to stop detox. Yes, I am a loser, and I couldn't do it!
I have done 7 days before, and I know I can do it, but this time, I was really struggling. I know the benefits of detox are great, but I just want to get into eating healthy! So, last night, my family and I went to a diner, and I ate protein. I had a greek omlet with peppers and onions and feta cheese. I also had a side of bacon (not the best choice). When we got home, I did have a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and some raisins.
So, here I am on day 4 and I am not doing detox.
This morning I started with a vanilla TLS shake with a cup of blueberries. I also added 2 scoops of complete greens to my shake so that I get in more greens!
For lunch, I have a mixed greens salad with 2 hardboiled eggs, 1 oz. 75% reduced fat cheese, some sea salt and pepper slivered almonds. I added some lite balsamic vinegrette. Delicious! I also have some carrots with hummus for a snack this afternoon.
I am glad I stopped detox. I was not happy, and I want to be happy and healthy. I also want my kids to see me eating real food. I want us all to be eating the same things. I want them to know that eating healthy is a lifestyle.....not a diet!
