Day 5: Detox cleanse
Posted on July 30, 2009
Today is all about getting organized -- clients, business and life in general.
I was really craving a cup of coffee with cream this morning, but I released the urge and made a cup of herbal tea instead.
And I've got another challenge this evening -- we're going to Olive Garden for my aunt's birthday. Parties with my family are always huge -- involving tons of food and drink. I guess I'll be ordering plain lettuce with olive oil and vinegar and a glass of water among a table of pasta, bread and wine!
Breakfast
cup of herbal tea
cup of oatmeal with cinnamon
Lunch
Bowl of millet topped with leftover pesto from yesterday
--Lightly brown 1 cup of millet in a saute pan. Then boil two cups of water. Pour toasted millet into water, simmer for 30 minutes. Makes plenty of leftovers.
Snack
1 peach before dinner
Dinner
I made out OK at the Olive Garden -- their salmon and steamed broccoli was delicious. It wasn't organic, Alaskan salmon...but it will do. Add that to one bottle of san pelligrino and I left completely full. It actually felt pretty easy passing up on the bread, wine and fried calamari...even the cheesecake looked plastic-y. I finally feel like this detox is making a dent in my cravings!
Today did include 3 solid meals, so I'll have to make it up with 3 liquid meals tomorrow.
