I FINALLY got a great night of sleep last night!!!! It has only taken me 11 days into this detox! I didn't have crazy dreams last night and I slept until my alarm went off. What a difference when you get a full night of restful sleep!
For breakfast I had oatmeal with walnuts, blueberries, cinnamon and almond milk.
I had two rice cakes with tahini (sesame seed butter) for a snack. I wasn't near a sink to wash my apple, so I had to fore go the apple.
For lunch, Ryan brought many different fruits and veggies, but he had to stop off at a local grocery store for a baked chicken breast for some protein. When I got home so late last night, I wasn't able to cook, so that was all we had for him to take for lunch! He had already had a shake at breakfast and a shake at lunch wouldn't have lasted him until the end of his work day. I had a shake at lunch with a banana.
Jax (our dog) and I were able to get out for a long walk this afternoon. It was sunny and almost 40! What a treat for early March! I hope it continues. Whenever I get exercise, my metabolism surges and I am so hungry!
I made the Minestrone soup (from the Metagenics recipe book) big salads and baked sweet potatoes. Can I just say we are addicted to sweet potatoes!!! They have enough sweetness in them, so they curb the sweet tooth! Well, sort of, I think I would be able to handle a bowl of ice cream at the end of the day, but I restrain myself. Not to mention we don't even have it in the house! I had the remaining strawberries and bananas from last night for dessert.
I have to make a confession...I have been extremely stressed lately with the computer issues I have been experiencing. Last night was the worst because I didn't have a computer to work on until tonight. That is a LONG time for me to be without a computer (apologies to those people awaiting an email response from me...that is the first thing on my list to do in the morning:) ) and I was really feeling overwhelmed with not getting any work done and having a HUGE to-do list. This was the first time on the detox I wanted to scratch the whole thing and have something unhealthy to eat comfort my anxiety! This urge was even more powerful than when I was super hungry this weekend on the extreme detox! That's a very powerful feeling! This is a hard thing for me to confess that I think I am an emotional eater, but I promised a very candid portrayal of what I'm going through when I started this journey! One of the reasons we decided to do the detox was to examine our relationship with food...healthy or unhealthy. This detox has definitely brought my weakness into the forefront and I am glad I'm consciously aware of it. Once you are aware you can start to change...right?! At least I can sleep tonight with that off my chest :) Sweet dreams!
