Week 1 results

Just a quick update on week one. I am not going to say it was easy. In fact, it pretty much sucked. Monday was ok. Tuesday was horrific. Kicking the caffeine habit hurts the head in a big way. But, thankfully I made it past that and managed to finish the week without killing anyone...now, I did cry once and made a 6th grader cry, all within an hour of each other. But all in all, I would have to say it was a good week.

What did I eat? Well, tons and tons of salad and fresh veggies. Lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, jicama, cucumber, summer squash, more onions and tomatoes. Veggies in salads, veggies in stir-fry, veggies raw with a little ranch.  We had plenty of chicken, tilapia one night and I made a diet friendly chili that was ok...not my usual 2 day crockpot chili, but it was edible. I need to figure out a way to add more flavor, but I have a spice cabinet that is full so I'll figure something out.

I am having a slight bit of trouble with breakfast. See, we are only allowed 2 organic-cage free eggs a week. We can have all the eggbeaters we want, but I don't really like them. And I DO NOT like veggies in my eggs. I've been making protein shakes, but that is already getting old. I gotta figure something out. Maybe chicken for breakfast? hmmmm. Now on October 9, I can add fruit, so breakfast will be a breeze then.

What's in store this week? Hell. Pure and simple. Yesterday and today we were only allowed veggies and brown rice. For the next 3-5 days we are detoxing. Good ole lemon juice and maple syrup. I'm going to try cranberry juice instead of lemon one day to see if that is better. I sure hope so. So please say a little prayer for me, one that helps me keep my sanity would be nice. ;)  I'll check in later to let you know how it is going.
