Day 7.  So I’m not craving much of anything anymore.  For a couple days now.  But I do get thirsty a lot more often – that’s always what happens when I start drinking more.  Energy is still up, even though I had only 5 hours of sleep last night, and no headache.  All from the detox?  No clue.  Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 2 and Dad and I will get on the scale and...

Day 6.  Today was a study day.  It was supposed to be my first gym day, but that didn’t happen. Everyone always says they’re too busy – but it really is a hectic week, and by the way things are going I’ll probably end up starting next Monday :0) As for how I feel, same as yesterday. Energy still up, easier to get up in the morning.  No headaches whatsoever these day.  So...

Day 5.  I spent the whole day grocery shopping and cooking.  Last week I found myself without prepped food and it made getting through the day so hard.  So today I made tajine (a quiche like dish with canned salmon, parsley, eggs, and feta cheese), *tikka, dahl (yummy!!), veggie soup, *baked zucchine with ricotta (basically I just had to finish the zucchine – I’m not even sure it’s...

Day 4.  I have a gathering to go to today – i hope i don’t stray…too much :0)  This morning though I woke and really felt a difference when I woke up.  My head wasn’t heavy, I was ready to get up and get my day going.  And the energy lasted throughout – no sluggish feeling when i walked.  So I didn’t know if this was wishful thinking or real, so I noted it and...

Day 3.  I woke up with no cooked food in the house. The problem with this program is that you can’t just pick something up and go.  I can manage, but I’m worried about my dad – with nothing ready he might have tendency to cheat.  And I can’t even cook anything today – rushing off to work and have a very long day ahead of me.  Don’t know what he’ll do...

Day 2.  My dad is shocked that he spent a day without bread.  I’m just hoping I can keep up this Martha Stewart act in the kitchen so that there will always be food in the kitchen.  I made rice and chicken today – waiting to see how they taste :0) What I ate today: Morning hot water & lemon Yoghurt, honey, banana & nuts and roibus tea (really good!) Med. lentil salad and lentil The...

Alright-day one.  I’m all revved up.  I’ve even convinced my dad to give it a shot…we’ll see how that goes – he’s another fellow bread-aholic.  I’m starting today though I know I’ll have to do some minor cheats – there’s still some food in the fridge that I can’t throw away and that I don’t seriously think will harm my progress too...

I came back from Greece & Turkey, with all my walking, and all my swimming, having gained weight.  Let’s just say I enjoyed all the delicacies there were to offer :0)  After that I spent 30 days fasting during Ramadan…a month that’s supposed to be a detox, but has turned into a month long feast every night.  Fun, tasty, but as you can imagine, the result has not been great....
