So far, mostly everyone's been supportive. Thanks! Today's challenge is making it through a job I'm unhappy with--without snacking for comfort. So far, so good.
Here's the unsweet n' lowdown
Breakfast: Gluten-free porridge with cinnamon, honey and a banana (sounds gross and was, kinda. Only because it was watery.)
Snack: Pumpkin seeds and licorice tea
Lunch: Leftover chicken and escarole with rice pasta
Snack: Carrots (I mean they're sitting there. I didn't actually eat them yet but when the sugar craving comes at 3, my agents orange will be at the ready)
Dinner: I'm planning on a salad, and to back off on the starches. I can easily ruin the whole thing with too much rice and stuff.
Dessert: If I have it, I'll do yogurt with honey.
Problems: I'm feeling headachy and just unwell. Slept HORRIBLY last night.
Challenge: Drinking a gallon of water a day. I'm drowning now and I haven't gotten there yet. Also, stop obsessing over the detox and think about something else.
Good news: I just finished lunch and really don't feel like shoving something sweet in my mouth. If I do I'll get by with a little help from my friends. :)
LOL awesome already... i feel you on the "think about something other than the detox" but you know what? blabbing about it to my friends, not only let me vent.. but it gave me some accountability.. cause later they'd be like "oh how's the detox?" and i wanted to NOT be able to say i was a hot mess.. so it pushed me to keep it up cause I knew they'd be checking on me.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pic!
oh and go easy on yourself! enjoy the carbs if you want.. you're cutting out so many other horrible things.. you need to NOT hate this as much as possible.. and if a little brown rice pasta does the trick.. so be it.. you can eat salads later..
Thaaaaaaaaanks for the encouragement. I know, talking about it is def making me accountable. I don't want to cheese out and be like "Uh, I gave up."
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, rice things are my refuge!
