Detox Day 8: The Lure of Sweets is Tenacious

It's been a week since I started my detox, and here's where I stand...

Pounds Lost: 5
Waist Inches Lost: 2.75

So, not a lot since day 4... I'm feeling really good though, and the initial drop was very motivating.

The palmier I had yesterday definitely did NOT make me feel good. I felt nauseous shortly after I wrote my post, and I was so angry with those things that I was going to devise a very dramatic way of ridding my life of them... freezing them in a snowbank, mashing them all up and feeding them to the birds, even burning them like I did with my high school uniform (which didn't work very well because the skirt was polyester and all it did was melt).
But since the rest of the members of this household aren't doing my detox with me, I can't just punt these treats... although I'm sure my kids would've loved my trebuchet idea and would've gotten a kick out of seeing the palmier package catapulted across the street... even Roomie would've gotten in on the act, drawing up plans and making it with his new drill bits.

Anyway, this week has taught me a few things about how I need to eat to stay healthy...

1 - eat an egg for breakfast
2 - have 4 meals: 8:30am, 11:30am, 3:30pm (I can eat with LA and MN when they have an after-school snack), and 6:30pm, to avoid gak-snacking temptation
3 - don't eat after 7pm

Okay, on to week 2...

I have had really good success eating an egg for breakfast, and usually rotate this with a fruit smoothie instead of eating a high carb breakfast.

Keep up the good work!

Mmm... smoothies... I think I need to make myself a banana/soymilk smoothie today... Thanks for the idea, Jen! :)
