Day 7
Hard to believe that I am in my 7th day already!! This morning left me not wanting to wake up but I had woken up an hour earlier with a full bladder..I guess I shouldn’t have drank that last few glasses of water the night before! Even though I got more sleep this time around, I woke up tired still..yup, it is time to stop the job and not be in this environment anymore. Though I do credit this place with putting my body back on track with this detox (based on timing schedules etc) and making it easier, it is time to just go back to my usual life even though I will end up having longer days than here. Still, I am glad that I started my detox a week ago because I will be finished next week by now which is right in the start of my teaching week-and then I can carry on my good habits through the usual grind of things.
At any rate, I had an apple for breakfast this morning which was really tasty once again. I know it won’t fill me up for very long but luckily I brought along my usual stash of almonds, with carrots and cauliflower (I MUST eat them) and another batch of my rice salad. That should do me in for the day!
When I got home I was SO exhausted again that I went and took a nap at 5:00, and got out of bed at 8:00. I felt so much better which was great and then I was hungry. For dinner I had some of that rice pasta which I have to say I absolutely LOVE! On the detox you are limited in the areas of rice, however, if you go with brown rice, you can have 80% of that in your diet. My mom wasn’t sure if I could even have that because technically you can’t have anything that can be made in to a flour…but then again, you are encouraged to eat almonds and THAT can be made in to a paste and a milk..so I think that having pure rice pasta is ok.
I love it anyways-it tastes like Chinese rice noodles. So I had a nice helping of that with a spring green salad. I don’t love that stuff because I am convinced it tastes like weeds, but it is super healthy so I have no choice. Plus I call that filler-that doesn’t fill! haha
Since I finished my dinner late, I didn’t have a snack or anything…it is a good feeling to feel light in your stomach after you eat!!
