Well, I survived official day 1 of the detox diet. But I've realized I need to have a couple of solid recipes in my arsenal, or else this is never going to work. I seem to do really well until I get home from work, and then I just want to order take-out every night. Luckily for me, I live in NYC, and there's a fantastic vegan restaurant four blocks away that delivers. But I am proud to report that I did not succumb to that yet. I'm trying to save it for Friday night, when I really need it.
Here's what I ate yesterday:
B'fast
-1 glass water with fresh lemon
-2 small Snickerdoodles w/ my morning tea
-1/2 cup brown rice with sliced bananas & 1 tsp of almond butter
Control room snack
(instead of my usual vending machine fare)
-1/2 cup pistachios w/ shells
-water
Lunch
-1/2 cup brown rice
-1/2 cup kidney bean & broccolini curry (that I made over the weekend)
-water
Snack & dinner
(I wasn't very hungry, so I just snacked a bit before I went to bed)
-1/2 cup trail mix with almonds, walnuts, cranberries, raisins, & dried bananas
-4 dark chocolate covered cashews
-1 pear
-water
In my fridge, I have arugula, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, potatoes, and onions. I have several large containers full of spices from all over the world. I should be able to cobble something together for dinner with this stuff, right? Looking for some viable recipes now... ideas are welcome!
(A couple of side notes - the blog that I am borrowing this diet from says that you'll be more tired initially, and you should plan to get a lot of rest. I can't tell if I'm really more tired, or if my day job is just that draining. I suspect it's door number 2, but I guess I'll have a better sense on the weekend. You are also supposed to get 30 minutes of leisurely exercise every day, but I haven't really been doing much more than walking to work occasionally. Since it's supposed to snow today, that's not going to happen yet again. I'll ramp it up next week.)
