January Detox Summary

I feel great, I look great (down 5 lbs!) and really just missed a little chocolate and wine by the end. I want to try to stick with it (as I feel gross after breaking the detox last night), so I'm going to continue to record the things that AREN'T detox worthy to ensure moderation!

Day 30 ~ Monday, January 31st LAST DAY!!!

Breakfast (6AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk

Inhale a coffee before running out the door!

Snack (1030AM):
apple

Super busy this morning!

Lunch (1PM):
salad w/ chicken & beans

Very filling!!

Snack (3PM):
pineapple

Getting hungry... not sure I can make it. I only have a clementine until dinner and I really don't want a clementine!

Dinner (8PM):
1 1/2 glass of wine
2oz cheese w/ couple of crackers
prosciutto
salami
1/2 cheeseburger
fries
polenta sticks
bean dip
1/2 lindt truffle
2 weight watchers mini bars

Feel like crap.

Day 29 ~ Sunday, January 30th

TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!!

Breakfast (8AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk
kiwi
eggs w/ scallions & green peppers

Yummy breakfast, but I'd like a piece of wheat toast. TK wanted a crumpet. We have some in the freezer...

Snack 1 (10AM):
Terra chips
dried mangos

Hungry while doing nothing on a lazy Sunday.

Snack 2 (11AM):
popcorn

Still hungry.

Lunch (230PM):
chicken w/ sauteed onions & pine nuts & bread (only a bite!)
hummus
baba ghannooj
tabbouleh
salad w/ tomato, cucumber & parsley, fresh garlic-sesame dressing
salad w/ cucumber, tomato, scallion, crisped pita, pomegranate vinaigrette
lamb & vegetable kabob

LOTS of food!!! Soooo full. I don't think I should eat for the rest of the day!

...And I didn't!

Day 28 ~ Saturday, January 29th

THREE MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakfast (730AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk
couple nuts
pineapple / orange / almond milk smoothie

Lunch (11AM):
chicken salad
bite of baked sweet potato

I know it's early, but I was hungry after a long walk with Baci.

Snack (1PM):
baked sweet potato
Terra chips
nuts

I couldn't go to the gym hungry...

Dinner (630PM):
french onion soup - only a bite of cheese
trout w/ string beans

Went out to dinner and a movie. It's ironic how French food is usually my least fave because it's so heavy, but on this diet. French food is the easiest to eat (sans butter, though!) I actually ALMOST ordered a glass of wine. It's close enough to the end of the detox, it was cold, we were eating French food... How perfect would a nice glass of red wine be? But, it's only 2 more days. I can do it!

Day 27 ~ Friday, January 28th

Breakfast (6AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk
blueberry / banana / almond milk smoothie

Something in the tummy before the gym!

Snack (9AM):
2 clementines
2 kiwis

No idea how I'm going to make it to lunch!

Lunch (12PM):
chicken lettuce wraps
tom yum soup (spicy mushroom in tomato broth)

I was BLINDINGLY hungry by the time I got to lunch. There wasn't a ton on the menu I could get, but I really love this soup. I usually get dumplings to go with it, but the sorry looking lettuce wraps had to do. I'm still thinking about food and only have 2 jellos left in my weekly stash. No applesauce! :(

Snack (3PM)
2 jellos

Hungry!

Dinner (7PM)
sparkling water
lemonade
veggie basket w/ dipping sauce
eggplant w/ tofu & marinara sauce
seitan w/ peanut sauce
piece of gluten free, whole grain bread!!!
pineapple

We went to a vegan restaurant for dinner. Lots of bread products on the menu that we had to avoid, though. I liked the eggplant, but everything else was meh. That's why I went for the bread - but it was healthy bread! At least it wasn't a cookie or a burger!

Day 26 ~ Thursday, January 27th

Breakfast (7AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk
omelet w/ green peppers

Nice breakfast at home with TK!

Snack 1 (9AM):
banana

I'm dying. Listening to Wendy's/Arby's analyst day. Want burger. NOW! At least I didn't physically go to the meeting! Worried about lunch today. I didn't bring anything, so I'll have to get a salad. But I don't want a salad! Maybe a soup from Au Bon Pain...

Snack 2 (1030AM):
tea

Still listening to that darn call. I hate being a restaurant analyst sometimes.

Lunch (1130AM):
salad w/ chicken, hummus, baba ganoush, eggplant, veggies
crystal lite

Went to Roti for lunch. I gave away the warm pita that came with the salad. It broke my heart. Still wish I had a Wendy's premium cheeseburger w/ fries. Nicely full now, though.

Snack 3 (4PM):
applesauce

I was really hungry, but amazingly this filled me up!

Snack 4 (5PM):
pineapple

Not that hungry, but I had it at my desk and it looked good!

Snack 5 (630PM):
nuts
Terra chips
prunes
dried cherries

Went a little crazy while I was cooking...

Dinner (730PM):
chicken
sweet potatoes
asparagus
sparkling water w/ cherry juice

Yummy dinner that I just threw together!

Day 25 ~ Wednesday, January 26th

Breakfast 1 (630AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar & almond milk

Quick coffee before leaving for work!

Breakfast 2 (9AM):
banana
clementine

Getting hungry, not sure how long this will last me. Lunch will be big (Smith & Wollensky's!), but that's 2 1/2 hrs away!

Snack 1 (930AM):
tea

Still hungry, so trying to do tea. If I'm still hungry at 1030, I'll go grab my applesauce from the kitchen.

Lunch (12PM):
tuna
sauteed spinach
butternut squash
mushrooms
seltzer

I made it through from the tea til lunch. I really didn't love the tuna I had. I just wasn't feeling it. Bummer. The butternuts squash was great and soooo filling!

Dinner (630PM):
Terra chips
tea
pineapple
prune

I was STARVING whan I got home after running around all afternoon. Bad news. I thought there was some chicken leftover, but apparently TK ate more than a half of a chicken last night. I inhaled a ton of terra chips, and felt gross. The ones I ate were different from last night, so I liked them.
