The good news: I didn't eat any of the cupcakes I had to bake last night. I didn't even lick icing off the spoon. An amazing feat for me.
The bad news: I accomplished this because I ate gluten-free, dairy-free brownies as preemptive strike. They were not, however, sugar-free, therefore, I cheated on the detox.
I'm back on track today, and plan on sticking with it. I'm totally fine without the bread and dairy, but the sugar will get me every time. I look at last night's lapse as a triumph because had I not opted for the "better for you sort of" brownies, I surely would have ate all that butter, sugar and flour on the cupcakes. PLUS, there were brownies left but I gave them away. Something I'd never do before.
Anyway. The one physical change I'm noticing, not to be gross, is that my poop is totally green. Yup, all the veggies. But it makes me wonder if I'm getting any of the nutrients from all the greens I'm eating or if I'm just shitting them all out. That would suck.
I'm also pooping less frequently. I have to say I don't really feel like any toxins are coming out of me but I feel better after I eat these kinds of foods. No heartburn or indigestion, no stomach pains, not that I ever have a lot of that stuff. Sometimes after I'd eat a high-carb meal my heart would pound and that's not happening now. I'm also waking up at the same time every day--earlier, which is good.
No pics today, just a rundown of the food.
