and it's Day 2.
Today was a much better day.
More energy. I felt slightly hungry all day. Somehow, that seems to work for me.
I also participated in a Yin Yoga class which was wonderful both for mind and body:)
Food-wise:
Smoothies are great.
They are not my usual breakfast food but they work well. Magic Bullet is easily rinsed and is ready for another round if needed.
This morning:
Avocado/Mango/ Flaxseed/ Banana/ Almond butter/ Coconut milk Smoothie. Very pleasant.
(I thought I would not like avocado in there. It works - gives it a good texture)
Lunch:
Potato and Leek Soup
Mixed greens salad with hemp hearts
I had Tea this morning- no time for morning snack.
After workshop:
my trailmix
Followed by herbal tea.
Smoothie: Banana/Carob
Dinner:
Mixed greens salad with black sesame and Lemon Tahini dressing.
A wonderful Leek/Spinach/Arugula/Sundried Tomato/Quinoa Pilaf.
I suspect, I'll be having some more fruit.
P.S.
I did:
I had some banana slices with almond butter. It was delicious. Who said I needed to feel deprived?

Day 1
Today, my friend and I officially started the Whole Living Detox.
I wish I could say that it all went well, I feel like a "million dollars".... (I was always puzzled when I heard that expression -I never knew those had feelings)
But: I woke up with a headache which progressed to "near-migraine" level.
I drank lots, did not help. I followed the detox instructions, told myself that all the fresh stuff will make it go away. It did not. Finally, I took an Advil. Not my choice product for a detox:). I took a nap.
Woke up with the same pain. Made myself a cup of black tea. (!) It's a bit better.
I decided that I will continue drinking tea. I know from the last detox that I can go without coffee as long as I have my tea.
On more positive note:
Breakfast was a smoothie (Banana, Carob, Coconut milk, Almond butter)
Snack:
Vegan herb crackers
Lunch:
Mushroom saute with Quinoa (as quinoa is not a a grain, therefore permissible)
Mixed Greens Salad with Homemade Lemon Tahini Dressing and Hemp Hearts.
Snack: dates
(several)
another smoothie (avocado, lemon, mango, flaxseed, coconut milk)
Dinner:
Potato-Leek Soup, Green Salad with Pumpkin Seeds, Sundried Tomatoes, and Lemon Tahini Dressing.
Orange
Lots of herbal tea...
Discovery:
I LOVE hemp hearts. I must incorporate them into food more often.
