Hello again!
First day of full detox almost over! Three more to go! I would by lying if I said I am following it all to a "tea", but for 98% of it I have. :)
One thing I learned is that I definitely do NOT like lemons! I have a friend from college who despises tomatoes and I never could truly understand how one food could turn someone off so bad...........well, now I know! I am going to try a lime tonight with the warm water. Hopefully it will be better to my taste buds!
I enjoyed my oatmeal - it is Kashi, Go Lean with a hint of vanilla (all organic) and I sliced some bananas and the 1/8 of teaspoon of cinnamon. I took advantage of the mid-morning snack of an apple and the 10 raw unsalted almonds. I had a meeting for my athletic director position at a Red Robin - talk about hard! The smell was literally killing me. I ate the almonds then and sipped on water with no ice.
Lunch and dinner I changed a bit since I did not have my mid afternoon snack. I ate the 2 cups of vegetables (broccoli, carrots, edamame, water chestnuts)for lunch and then for dinner I ate the whole grain rice with hummus on top! My favorite was the hummus on top of the rice. Took away the bland flavor. Not sure if this is OK, but it is what I did for dinner. I did some research on the edamame and where I thought since it was soy bean it would be o.k., I read (I think from the editor of Body and Soul) that soy is hard to digest. Time will tell!
I must have not seen that we needed Ginger tea, so I had Green tea tonight.
My mind was SO consumed today with what I was eating and when that I did not even stop to think what I wanted to do for exercise. Tomorrow I will go for at least a 1/2 hour walk and some Wii Fit. I want to buy Jillian's new Wii Fit game (Biggest Loser).
If you did not know, the Martha Stewart Show is doing a segment every day of the challenge. We are suppose to "tune out", but a little Martha won't hurt!
Until tomorrow................
Happy Cleansing!!!!

Maria, you did a great job amid all those challenges. We had a snow day here in Maine so i was able to work at home and concentrate on following the plan. I did have to make cookies for a funeral tomorrow at our church but I resisted and even threw the crumbs away! Four o'clock is the tough time for me and I almost broke the fast and had a glass of wine with my husband but instead I had a cup of green tea and it was very satisfying. Fortunately, I like lemons!
It's funny, I had been following a modified (nearly following exactly), detox since last week to get my mind ready for what was ahead. I had no problems at all. Today with it "official," I wanted to eat EVERYTHING! All I could focus on was how I wanted something other than what I was allowed. I wrote down what I was feeling, and that seemed to help. It's as if it forced my mind to focus on something other than food.
Thanks so much for this blog, it shows me that I'm not the only one who is struggling a little.
I started out following the program to a tea, but on the first day ended up having homemade mac & cheese for dinner. Then yesterday, on day 3, I fell again by having part of a danish and 1 1/2 pieces of pizza - ugghh. This is harder than I thought.
