Sooo, it's the second day of our detox.. and I am hungry. All I want is pizza.. or chocolate.. or pancakes.. or pretty much anything I can't have. But mostly pizza. I've heard the first three days of this cleanse are pretty rough, but you start to feel awesome by the fourth day.. I'm counting down. I'm exhausted and I've had a non-stop headache.
For breakfast we had carrot-grapefruit-ginger juice, which was realllly grapefruity, but surprisingly good. We spent most of the day shopping for the rest of the week's meals and therefore missed lunch, so needless to say by the time dinner rolled around we were prettttty hungry. Dinner was broccoli and squash with tahini dressing on a bed of red cabbage, romaine and kale.. not a big hit, especially for two hungry grocery shoppers who have been anticipating dinner. In fact, dinner last night wasn't such a big hit either, and aside from the smoothies and breakfast juices which have been really tasty, we've been kinda dissatisfied with the recipes we've been following from the wholeliving site. Luckily though, my detox buddy just happens to be a chef (!) and is pretty good with food, if I do say so myself (and I do say so). So I think the rest of the week we will be creating recipes ourselves, which is more fun anyways.
Breakfast tomorrow is a "island" smoothie, with strawberries, pineapple and banana, so needless to say, as I sit in bed with a grumbling tummy thinking about the dinner that I left half of sitting on the plate, I am definitely looking forward to that.
