Yesterday turned into something of a disaster. I bought this drink in the fruit section that I thought was some kind of organic tea but it was actually fruit juice with fermented crap and it made me terribly ill. At that point, I decided to have a little real dinner, which caused a few things: 1) I felt better after that nasty drink; 2) I felt guilty because my gal pals doing it with me did not cheat (that I know of); and 3) I worried about the weight gain repercussion.

I made the resolve to finish out the week with no more cheats. Since it didn’t seem to affect the goal (which truth be told really only added a few hundred calories to the daily total for a grand of 800 calories versus 400) I won’t beat myself up.

Today I will break out the juicer and make a yummy cucumber, celery, apple concoction. I might also throw in some carrots since that’s supposed to be good for acne, which by the way, seems to have cleared a little.

So, I just have to share… the lovely scale showed 148 this morning (!!!). I haven’t seen the 140s since before I was pregnant with #3 (15 years ago).

Feeling grumpy today. I was wondering why I am doing this stupid detox. The only upshot was that the soup I made yesterday seemed a little better today as a leftover. I am sort of looking forward to tomorrow as I plan to make a potato, onion, celery soup. That sounds yummy, right?

According to myfitnesspal, I would weigh 138 if I ate this way (750-800 calories a day) in 5 weeks. Clearly that would be insane. I need to figure out how to get some protein in.

What’s really sad is I was actually salivating over the kids’ hotdogs and I don’t even like hotdogs.

I don’t know if the weekend being here is a good thing or not. I am supposed to go to a neighbor’s on Saturday and there will be food there. It will be hard to resist. I have also been fretting about next week as I have 2 food involved activities to attend, one of which I already paid for, and I don’t know if I will be able to resist.

I’m getting ready to go bed which means I have completed a whole day.

I feel exhausted. I did the barre class at the gym this morning as well as took the baby swimming which may have been a bit much. I am not going to rebound. Too tired.

I got one berry drink and one essential greens down plus I had a green smoothie from Jamba Juice (I know, it has fruit, but since it’s all fresh, I think it will be okay – it’s not like I ate anything…) with a flax booster. I also made some decent soup, but I didn’t eat much of it.

The book says if you’re not doing it to lose weight, then you can have a protein drink and I think I will definitely need to do that when I work out.

I am so looking forward to going to sleep!

Soup that was actually not bad….

2 cups broccoli
1 cup cauliflower
1 cup carrots
1 handful green beans
2 cloves garlic
Sprinkle of oregano, basil and Bragg’s seasoning

Boil in 4 cups water. When veggies are tender blend till creamy.
