Hmm. . . maybe a bit too much

Yup, vision just went black when taking a clock off the wall. . .I'm thinking I need a snack. . .

Mew mew mew~

^___^!  Today I was even better behaved then yesterday.  Admittedly, I had a whole tablespoon of honey and an egg (my body doesn't like animal products very much) but over all, I ate very healthy and highly detoxifying.  Even managed to keep up on my supplements. . .oh snap, that reminds me. . .I need to remember to take some vitamin B tomorrow.

Few notes that I discovered/rediscovered throughout the day and would like to implement:

• Papaya is great for detox because it has awesome enzymes that decrease constipation, make it a diuretic, aid in indigestion, make it antibacterial and antimicrobial, and stimulate bile production - - I'd love to start at the very least taking papaya tablets and preferably adding them to smoothies.
• Fruit Smoothies - I used to eat all fruit smoothies every morning, and need to start back because they help give me nommable enzymes that may be expel waste while also contributing delicious energy.
• Muesli - I used to make muesli to have on hand at all times.  Being full of oats, nuts, and dried fruit, it made a great cereal when mixed with a little silk or soy yogurt that contributed grains, fruits, and protein to lead to. . .once again, expelling waste.
• Oolong Tea - I hope to get some more of this soon, since oolong has been the single most successful device in regulating my food intake and processing in the past.  It's also full of antioxidants, promotes weight loss, promotes heart health, treats skin disorders, prevents tooth decay, and lowers blood pressure.

So, yesterday's detox went surprisingly smoothly especially after Friday night's sin and death binge. I ate very lightly and avoided almost all the bad foods for detox- - no wheat, no caffeine, no dairy. . .I did have about 3oz of red wine and an egg, but over all it went well. My boyfriend even made a frozen pizza and I actually managed to resist it's meaty deliciousness.

Today's gone well so far food wise, but I need to start increasing productivity soon. . .stupid Gargoyles and X-men slowing me down.

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.

Detox

Current weight: 135lbs

Goal weight: 122lbs

Since I'm just starting getting back into good habits (I used to be vegan! What happened??) I'm starting with a three day detox to flush my system of the sin I've been pumping into it, get me regular again, shrink my stomach, and reduce bloat.

Foods avoiding:

• wheat/gluten
• refined sugar
• all liquids outside of tea and water
• alcohol, chocolate, high fat foods
• caffeine
• high sodium foods
• dairy

Supplements taking:

• Apple cider vinegar 3x/day
• Triphala
• vitamin C
• Super Cleanse

Extras:

• Castor Oil Pack - to relieve constipation and make my liver happy
• Skin Brushing and Sugar Scrub - to remove dead skin cells and increase circulation

There are a few other things I'd love to use and try. . .like oolong tea is great for me to flush things out, but I'm not looking to go out and spend money on anything and I'm out of oolong. But the super cleanse works wonders for me. If I take it on an empty stomach and am not too stressed out, then it oftentimes induces a bowel movement within the first 30mins.

Triphala is an Indian suppliment that's supposed to aid in digestion and assist in internal issues, but when I took it before I didn't really notice any difference, but I figure I'll try it again.
