So after I brushed my teeth and got rid of some of the yuckies in my mouth I had my elixir. Then I showered and got ready for the day. I ended up so busy in my kitchen prepping my smoothie and making dressing for a friend I totally forgot to eat my banana chia pudding. :( I didn't realize it until I was on the road on my way to camp. I was worried about how I would do with the workout. Not only due to an empty belly but also due to the binge. It actually wasn't bad.
Post workout I had a Vega protein shake. It was yummy! I would definitely switch to this post detox if it weren't so expense. I can't afford $50 per tub of mix. :-/ But I did buy enough individual packets (at $3 per packet) to get me through the detox.
9:15am: I had the Blackberry/Strawberry smoothie. The Heath and Wellness Coach was raving about it last night. She hates avocados but loved how creamy it made her smoothie. I am loving it too! BUT I wish I would have added some more liquid. It is quite thick. I am starting to feel better. Eating these foods makes me happy. Don't know why I dropped the ball last night.
11:15am: lunch. I am having the sweet potato broccoli curry. It is good. Actually it is made with coconut oil. Having, in the past, decided to give coconut oil a whirl due to it's "magical powers" I had some in my cupboard. My previous attempts with it didn't go so well. I just didn't like the taste of coconut oil in my food. Which was weird since I really do like coconut. I was worried about today's lunch cuz once the oil started warming in the food I could smeel it. And the smell makes me want to gag. :( But I am happy to report I really don't taste it in the food. Now I just have to work past the smell...
I'm going to take a moment here to complain. This really has nothing to do with the detox. Other than the fact that we are supposed to be paying attention to our feelings. I am happy with the detox. And my feelings don't seem different in anyway. Except for being more annoyed with work than usual. I came in and slowly worked on the items that I have to do. Yet I was finished with my work by 9:30am. There is literally nothing left for me to do. When this happens I always debate on telling my boss. But I worry if he knew just how much downtime I really have I will lose my job sooner. Seriously, I have about 6-8 hours of TRUE work that I do each week. The rest is spent pretending to work. I was told at the beginning of the year that my job was going to be eliminated. And part of me wants them to just get it over with. But then I will lose money and health insurance so I am not looking forward to that either. *sigh* I'm just SO bored!!! I hate my job. :(
2:00pm: snack time
I made "trail mix" for my snack. It said to use toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds but my Sprouts didn't have plain toasted ones. (They had "spicy" ones but I didn't want that nor thought it would taste good in the trail mix) But the raw ones tasted just fine. I loved this mix. I plan to try out other snack recipes but I have a large bag of this mix in my desk for days like yesterday. :)
5:30pm: Today is my mom's birthday and she wanted to go to dinner. So I met up with them and ordered a scrumptious chicken salad. It was delicious. Instead of the Chipotle Ranch dressing they offered I chose a citrus vinaigrette. I remembered too late that black beans were on the no list. :( Either way, it was a successful night out. And Happy Birthday Mommy!
