Day 1: Detox

Yo!

Monday was Day 1 of my five-day super cleanse: no meat, dairy, gluten, wheat, or alcohol.  Basically, no sh*tty stuff.  I started off well, but I didn't plan for my long day and that was a huge mistake.

I work in an office during most days, which has its negatives (sitting too long, fluorescent lighting, being nice to idiots), and its positives (paying my rent, buying stuff, planning meals).  Let's just focus on that last one for now....

I'm able to bring portioned little meals to eat throughout the day.  This, I did well.  My daytime meals were:

Breakfast:
1 cup green grapes
2 cups hot green tea

Morning Snack:
1 large pink lady apple (which always makes me think of Grease II, but never Grease)

Lunch:
Mixed green salad w broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, corn, and balsamic vinegar

Afternoon Snack:
2 servings of roasted almonds

Here's where I screwed the pooch....

I worked until 6:30 pm, then went straight to a four hour rehearsal....with nothing in my giant ass purse to snack on.  This, makes me an idiot (like the ones I hate talking to).

By 9:30 pm, I had a raging headache, and by 10:30 pm, when I got in the car to drive home, I thought I was going to pass out...which is what I did as soon as I got home, which means I didn't eat dinner, and this makes me an even gianter idiot.

I only consumed 730 calories yesterday, which is not healthy nor okay.  Today is better, I have more portioned meals to munch on, I will be home this evening to prepare a healthy dinner, and I've purchased a crap ton of Go Raw bars.  They're good and really healthy, filled with nutrients you need, and not crap you do not.  I'll be keeping those in my desk & my purse for quick, healthy pick-me-up snacking.

The other thing I did well yesterday was water: I drank approximately 80 oz.  I peed a lot and it was nice.

Eat your veggies!
