Day 3

 

I woke up with no headache!!!! Best part of the day! 

Physical: No headache! Thinking more clearly...not sure of any other changes so far. I'll have to check my original scale in the morning but I've lost at least 2 lbs! 

Emotions: Feeling better today. More positive over all with less coffee cravings. It's easier to resist temptations as the sugar and caffeine cravings aren't so strong. Work was really busy so that helped with keeping my mind occupied. It is a serious mind battle as I knew it would be! I'll catch myself wanting to eat something only to stop and think, "hmph, my stomach isn't hungry at all....just my head." 

I've also been considering how I want to proceed after this 10 day fast as I don't want to go straight back into where I was. Still ruminating on that....more to come.

Menu:

Breakfast: quinoa with unsweetened almond milk and cinnamon (this was hard to get down, just being honest, it'd be ok with some sweetener....maybe....but it did keep me full longer than some things)

Snack: Blueberry, spinach and flax seed smoothie....not bad

Lunch: Black bean soup (I was worried when I packed my food today cause this seemed so small!)

Snack: cinnamon almonds and blueberries

Supper: grilled salmon with cilantro mint chutney (I was a bit worried but it was pretty good. Probably a bigger serving than I was supposed to have though in hindsight)


Drank almost 90 oz of water today!

Day 9

 Weight: 194.6 lb Lots of more serious thoughts today. Things like, "it's relatively easy when you have a set meal plan that tells you exactly what and how much to eat." But the real test is to maintain when there isn't a real menu plan.  Man, I've never eaten so much garlic, fresh green leafy herbs, cinnamon...what else. All kinds of things. Eating healthy things definitely got easier over time, today was WAY easier than the first couple days. I'm quite sure my taste buds have changed some too. (Josh thought supper was gross but I didn't think it was too bad.) I really like real sea salt that you grind (it tastes better). I did have my first 1/2 cup of coffee in 9 days!! Yum! Physical: Lots of energy today.  Emotional: Really glad this 10 days is almost over. It's been good and I've been really happy with how it's turned out in every way. Breakfast: Spinach, blueberry flax seed smoothie Snack: cinnamon almonds Lunch: Sundried Turkey burgers on...

Day 6

 What a day! There were some definite mile stones and some low points too. I had to go grocery shopping over lunch time. Normally, I'd just take myself somewhere I like. Today I took my kale salad with me in the car. It was a good salad but not quite the same! 😆 And I stopped by a new local shopping store that doubles as at coffee/ice cream shop (appropriately named Doubled Dipped). They just opened the coolest locally made boutique too. AND I RESISTED COFFEE AND ICE CREAM!! Talk about a mile stone! That took a lot of gumption. Thinking about tomorrow isn't very easy though. It's my first Sabbath AND we have Pathfinder potluck and Pathfinders in the afternoon. So all my food will be taken with me....and no potluck for me. I LOVE potlucks! And the deserts.....uuuummmmmmm. But I already have most of my food made and will carry on. I really did think about ending this detox at 7 days instead of 10.....but I'd probably be mad at myself later so it's only 4 more days!  ...

Day 8

 Wow. This was almost a doozie. This was one of my Sundays to work and I knew it would be really busy with covid. I packed my food and off I went. I have started subbing some of the prior things on the menu with others as I haven't really had time to do any more food prep. So I walked into work....to 3 boxes of Krispie Kream donuts! AAAAHHHHH! I quickly sped past those. I had made up my mind that if someone had made coffee I would allow myself 1/2 a mug (my mug is giant). NO ONE ever made coffee! So that one stayed on track! Then I hear that one of the docs was ordering pizza for lunch! I yelled out loud on that one! BUT I DID IT! I ate the stuff I brought only and drank all my water like a good girl! Physical: I noticed some heartburn in the night but i think it's probably from what I ate for supper.  Emotional: what a day! I made it though Menu:  Breakfast: Blueberry super protein smoothie Snack: Baked quinoa breakfast (swapped breakfast and snack so my smoothie was sti...
