Yes, I thought, just what I need to discipline myself! I knew my hardest hurdle was not drinking my usual half a pot of coffee. However, a lot of people reported feeling energized so I was hopeful that I would too.
Here's a quick recap of how my day went down:
7 am
Made and sat down to eat my Quinoa with prunes. Discovered that I REALLY can not stomach prunes. Ate a few and then tried to eat around them. Left about half the bowl since the Quinoa was covered in prune juice.
8 am
Starving and tired but tried to ignore it.
9 am
Decide it's time to make the Detox drink. Off I go, chopping and pouring everything into my blender. Secretly hoping that this drink will work a miracle and give me energy since my eyes are now tearing from being so tired.
10 am
After many interruptions by my kiddos, and fighting with my blender, I finally have my green drink ready to go. After 1 sip, I'm not too sure if I like the leafy texture. After the second sip, I am sure that I can't handle the leafy texture. All my hard work goes down the drain, literally.
11 am
I am already thinking about lunch: a banana/blueberry smoothie. Problem is: we are out of bananas! Instead of risking not having any food until dinner, I decide to make vegetable soup. Both my girls want to share and, since this is the first time Abby actually WANTS to eat vegetables, I begrudgingly share (and continue to be hungry and in desperate need for caffeine).
12 to 1 pm
Lunch time for my girls, followed by nap time. I beg Abby to please nap since I am too tired to keep my eyes open.
2:30 pm
I wake up from my nap and, before I can even open my eyes, I stuff my face full of Oreos. By the time I realize what I'm doing, I've eaten about 8. Instead of stopping there, I eat a few more since I didn't really enjoy the first few considering I was barely awake.
I then decide to restart my day, make coffee, and abandon all ideas of Detoxing.
You are so funny! This sounds about right! I need to lose about 35 pounds and just have not been able to get motivated. In the past I would gain the most 5 pounds, but always knew I could lose it with a little extra exercise and a few days of eating some salads and water. Now I just want the oreos and a delicious cup of coffee, not to mention the bacon egg and cheese in the morning! I have found that all those years of trying to stay thin and not having a cookie or two has lead to too many cookies and really liking them so much that I can't imagine starving or eating a green detox drink. I know I have to get motivated soon, because this detour has gone on too long, but goodness those oreos taste so good! Have a great day!
