Detox - Day 4

I spent the day inside, watching TV, sleeping, reading. Nothing exciting.

Detox - Day 3

So Day 3 wasn't so bad. believe it or not, it's a milestone. A lot of people quit by Day 3. i spent most of the day in bed watching TV. then i went to Whole Foods to get some more lemons and maple syrup. the cashier said something along the lines of, "Let me guess, you have the cayenne pepper at home?", and i just laughed and said yeah. then i went to see my boyfriend since he works at nearby restaurant. as we were talking, my eyes kept drifting to the buffet table.

i might extend it to 12 days instead of 10. we'll see. I started thinking about what i'm gonna eat to celebrate my completion. i think it'll be a home-cooking dish of mac-and cheese, string beans, sweet potatoes, and pan-fried fish (catfish or tilapia). everything from scratch. nothing will be canned, frozen, etc. i've always wanted to make baked macaroni and cheese. i'm gonna use parmesan, mozzarella and cheddar. mmmm. okay i need to stop talking about food.

Detox - Day 2

It was a little shaky. my strength wavered a couple times. i daydreamed about a soft pretzel, pasta, tater tots, M&Ms, and sushi from Swanky Bubbles. I tried to go to KMart to buy a scale, but the only ones they had were too expensive.

Detox - Day 1

• 8 oz water
• 1 tbs. fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbs. maple syrup (Aunt Jemima doesn't cut it, sorry. you have to use real, pure Grade B maple syrup)
• dash of cayenne pepper

Sounds gross, but it's really not. Cayenne pepper breaks down mucous, and pepper in general increases metabolism. Here is a breakdown of what the lemon and maple syrup do.

Today was okay. I had a brief craving for french fries, and the M&Ms at the front desk at work haunted me, but I made it. ahh, 9 more days

Back

I've either been working or tired from working. That, and the fact that nothing worth blogging about has happened lately. I recently started hosting at Union Trust Steakhouse, and i'm still at Ms. Tootsie's, and freelancing, so i'm pretty much running around 7 days a week. Lately, i've been low on energy, and i haven't been eating as well as i should be. so i thought, 'what a good time to detox?' Nothing but water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for 10 days.....mmm. Ill be documenting it.
