Detox Day 1. . .Fail

I should've known better than to try to start my detox on a day when I had a large family engagement. . .at Outback Steakhouse. Don't get me wrong, I tried. . .I even researched the nutritional information of the dishes available and had my mind set on getting one of their "light" Norwegian Salmon dishes with fresh seasonal veggies to keep my caloric content under 500kcal.

Well. . .when the time came to order, I failed to keep my resolve and ordered a much fattier dish.

Today's Pros:
  1. Did a deep cleaning epsom salts bath where I started with a dry skin brushing followed by a damp skin/dry washcloth full exfoliation (Korean style), used organic homemade soap to wash my body and hair, applied a milk and honey mask for 10 minutes , protein packed my hair for 10mins with a raw egg followed by moisture packed for another 10mins with straight olive oil, did a sugar/oil scrub on my face and lips, and a salt/oil scrub on my body. When I emerged my skin was super soft, glowy, and well oiled and has felt wonderful all day.
  2. When my mom saw me she was shocked by how good she thought my hair looked (. . .my hair is bleach platinum blonde, lightened from dark brown - - more than a little tortured)
  3. I took my vitamin c, triphala, and super cleanse like clockwork
  4. I logged in 6+ hrs cleaning the house today and my bedroom actually looks like a bedroom.
  5. I actually took my makeup off before bed, no joke.
Cons:
  1. I didn't engage in any kind of stretching, so I'm going to be aching like hell tomorrow from the heavy cleaning and organizing.
  2. I consumed. . .2,200kcals between the hours of 6:30 and 9:30. Luckily none the rest of the day, but that still wreaks havoc on the metabolism. And the food I ate? Definitely not detox. Detox will have to start again tomorrow.
  3. I'm scared of cleaning my kitchen. . .it just seems too daunting, and I'm not even talking about dirty dishes.
