Leave a comment

So the detox went belly up and we are back to eating like normal people, decided to break the fast (even if it was just two days) in style with some yummy food at St Elmo’s

We decided we like food too much so now instead of curbing our enthusiasm and doing the eat less thing we gonna try the  exercise more thing

Rob hates me taking pics of him, that is why he is always looking away – I need to catch him off guard
Look I caught myself off guard-hehehe





We don’t play with food, hehe

Detox, for real this time (I hope)

Soooo I seem to have unwittingly entered into a challenge.
Last night after my second bowl of ice-cream and third cheese puff (following popcorn,slushy, m&ms and whispers at movies) I decided I needed to look at my eating habits again.
I’m starting to feel like those ads …bloated,sluggish,gianormous… And figure I needed a detox. (To kick start my healthy eating and what not-and maybe loose a kg or so)
So I announced to the husband as well as friends on bbm that I’m attempting the detox again (the one I failed so miserably at earlier this year-yes that one).
It’s pretty easy to decide these things with myself because if I fail, so what? I only have myself to answer to, and I’m quite forgiving of myself actually 🙂
The problem came in when this morning, quite out of nowhere, the husband decided he wants to join in, sort of a moral support thing and because he too has been eating like a pregnant lady (we are bad influences on each other)
I laughed because I figured with him being such a foodie he had even less chance of making through the seven days, this insinuation insulted him and he is more determined than ever to show me up. CRAP!
Now I kinda have to go all the way (or at least outlast him) because if I don’t, I will never hear the end of it…
Wish me luck

Detox? What detox?

So 3 days in, the detox went belly up. (Hang head in shame) I suffer from anaemia and because I spilled my iron supplements on the bathroom floor and I had no intention of drinking pills off the same floor I’v danced around naked on, I’ve been feeling rather weak and sleepy. Then yesterday I almost passed out when I was with my mother and she went all, “ja, you wanna  not eat, blah blah blah”.
Anyway so I thought I should eat something substantial and although some steamed spinach would have done, I decided I’d rather not and opted for a burger, but before that I weighed myself and low and behold I lost almost 3kgs (I know I said I just did this to detox, but I was curious about weight loss) anyway I believe the loss was because of 1 of 3 things
1 – this detox is magic
2 – I didn’t weigh myself properly before
3 – All those liquids and spending all my time in bathroom, I probably just peed myself 3kgs lighter
Any ways the burger was a bad idea and I spent last night feeling like I had Christmas lunch with the Nutty Professor.
So today I’m back to eating healthy, but I’m not denying myself everything anymore-no thanx.

Detox feedback: Day 2

Not a good burger substitute

Day two (fruit and liquid day) was by no means easier because telling your body you can not have something makes it soooo much more desirable.

Seriously I went to bed with vision of burgers running through my head.
Today I get to add raw vegetables, oh joy :p
Have a good Wednesday all (yes I have to say wed nes day in my head when I need to type it, hehe)

Detox feedback : Day 1

Liquid diets are not my friend

 So I got through day one alright:

Yes, I only had liquids
No, I was not allowed to take my desk into the bathroom
Yes, It felt like my stomach was eating itself at one stage
No, I didnt wake up with a six pack
Yes, Today is so much better because you can have fruit
No, a pizza is not a fruit
Yes, I’m going to go ahead with next six days
No, I do not really want to

The Detox Starts

Leave a comment
Happier day’s before I start the dreaded DETOX
Today is the first day of a seven day detox I’m starting because my body is not a fan of me eating like a 17 year old boy (doritos and burgers making up most of my meals).
I’m usually one of those irritatingly healthy eaters who actually craves rocket and green tea, but lately laziness had got the better of me so I just eat whatever is easiest.
Anyway to kickstart my way back to health I researched a bunch of detox options and settled on the 7 day detox, Wish me luck. also it should be said that I woke up on my “liquids only day” craving bread sticks.

The 7 Stages in Detox Diet are:

Stage 1 Liquids only
Stage 2 Liquids and fruit only
Stage 3 Add raw vegetables
Stage 4 Add cooked vegetables and brown rice
Stage 5 Add beans, lentils, nuts and seeds
Stage 6 Add grains and live yogurt
Stage 7 Add fish
