Day 4

 As much as I've planned and calculated, the unexpected couldn't be helped. Josh's mom showed up this afternoon and everyone wanted to go out to eat. Ugh...not on the menu. But not wanting to be a wet blanket, I put my little grey cells to work and came up with a plan. Supper was not on the planned menu and they did add cheese to my salad EVEN when I asked for ONLY VEGGIES AND TURKEY. Oh well. I still did pretty well! But I had to leave the table when they all ordered ice cream. I said, "love you all, but I can't sit through this one and resist temptation". 

Physical: More energy today. Oakley and I went on a 2.5 miles walk this afternoon. TMI but poop seems firm for all the water I'm drinking. I know I'm eating lots of roughage but hmmm...

Emotional: Today was a good day until the supper fiasco, which all in all wasn't bad. Felt proud of my ability to resist when I would normally just jump in with both feet and dessert! Feeling like food isn't running through my mind continually like it has been. It's becoming more of a "what time is it, do I need to eat?" instead of the previous thought process of "I'M DYING AND I NEED FOOD, SUGAR, CAKE, AND COFFEE RIGHT NOW!" 

Menu:

Breakfast: Chia Coconut Brown Rice bowl

Cooked brown rice, chia seeds, coconut milk and unsweetened coconut flakes- not too bad actually

Snack: 2 T. crunchy chick peas and 1 hard boiled egg
Lunch: Sundried Tomato turkey burger on salad
I ate the burger on leaf lettuce and spinach. I was afraid it would be weird with the hot burger and cold salad or without any dressing or anything. But this was actually really good! I'd make these burgers anytime! 

Snack: (off plan but still ok) misc. raw veggies and 1/2 C. blueberries

Supper: Salad with smoked turkey and just a little balsamic vinaigrette

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...
