Sorry for the abrupt title. I'm tired and hungry. I haven't had coffee today. And I won't be having it for the next three weeks. I'm doing the Whole Living Action Plan, a three-week cleanse/detox. I've never done a cleanse/detox before, and let me tell you: it's the first day and I'm already struggling! But I'm determined to make it through and challenge myself. For the first week, I'm only allowed to eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Even typing that out makes me feel discouraged. How am I going to pull this off?! Please send me your good vibes!
Things I hope to achieve/what this detox means to me:
I hope that I can learn healthier eating habits.
I hope that I feel a good difference in my body because of what I'm eating.
This detox is a challenge for me. I want to challenge myself.
I hope that I learn how to not abuse food (use it as a crutch, comfort, etc).
My internet pal Katie is also doing it, so I'm definitely looking to her for inspiration, as well as Sarah Burton of My New Roots, who planned the first week of the cleanse. I had to email her and ask her if I was allowed to drink Kombucha during the cleanse... She told me NO! because it's very stimulating and not conducive to a resting period. :(
Here's what I'm eating today:
Breakfast... Mango-Coconut Water Smoothie
Snack... Nuts and berries trail mix
Lunch... Avocado With Bell Pepper and Tomato
Dinner... Roasted Peppers, Cauliflower, and Almonds

OOooh I might do this for Feb! Sunflower seeds are the best. And mange tout!
Try broccoli (blanched and cooled), tomato and hazelnut salad! it's delish.
yay!! so far I've found that it's gotten me to to try new veggies, and shown me that I don't neeeed as much to eat as I think I do. the avocado lunch is delish! oh, and so is the raw sweet potato salad-- I'll definitely keep eating that once this is over.
be warned, though. It's kind of a buzzkill to your social life. Most people aren't going out for nuts & veggies, if you know what I mean.
