So...I've completed week 1 and 2 of the 28 day detox. Week 1 went really well but the beginning of week 2 was challenging and here is why...
The new detox week starts on Saturdays, I had a social event on the Friday night, the end of week one. On the elimination list was alcohol. This I did not eliminate on week one, so figured I was good to go for the Friday night party of fun. I was however, determined that this was going to be a little test for me to limit the amount of alcohol I drank. I was even going to avoid my usual tipple of vodka and diet coke (which is ironic as I don't even like fizzy drinks but drink it as I once read ions ago that this combibation was the lowest calorie beverage and that is why I drink it!!! Insane)
Did I achieve this? YES I DID!! In total I had 4 drinks spread out between 8pm and 2am. I was impressed with myself especially as it was free drinks at the bar we went to!!
The next day I was hangover free, but I was in total bad carb city...having jam on toast for breakfast...it all went down hill from there until about Monday morning when I decided that I needed to sort myself out, especially as the tummy problems and groggy tiredness was creeping back in.
So since Monday, I have been eliminating all things from the list! ! I am still having about one cup of coffee a day as by mid afternoon I am getting a withdrawal headache...green tea isn't even stopping that at the moment. With my husband being out of the house a lot at the moment, and me chasing after a 2 year old, I don't have time to deal with the withdrawal just yet. But I shall get there...soon.
In preparation for week 3's smoothie and juice fast (which started today) I was having a smoothie for breakfast, juicing up to 10 oranges, 4 carrots, 1 apple and 1 cucumber and drinking that for lunch and having a major green salad with sweet potato at night. I would then possibly have another juice before bedtime.
I'm feeling great!! I have better mental clarity, and I feel like I'm not holding onto any major water weight. So less puffy or something..
I haven't done any exercise as I said earlier, my husbands out a lot working or working on his project, which I support fully, but I'm a single parent right now with no outside help. ..so for now its just me and ma boy...but thats ok I'm still 5lbs lighter (although weight loss wasnt my main goal here, my health is more important. ..it came as a pleasant suprise)
