Today was my first full day at home while detoxing, and actually I'm finding it harder to do at home because I'm used to certain eating/drinking patterns here. So today was tough, I felt sluggish and feverish towards the end of the day. And right before bed I had this headache that would not let up.
As far as eating, I got really hungry in the afternoon, so I snacked in addition to my two meals. For the first meal (around 1 o'clock) I had a salad with tofu, beets, and avocado, with some baked fingerling potatoes drizzled with walnut oil. Delicious. Before this meal I had gone to the Farmers' Market and Whole Foods to stock up on healthy stuff for the week. At Whole Foods I tried a small Green Giant juice from their juice bar. Blech. It had apple, cucumber, kale, spinach and wheat grass. I couldn't finish it, I did NOT care for it at all. Makes me a little nervous about how I'm going to get through 7 days of just juice!!!
Around 6 I got super hungry so I cut up an heirloom tomato and 1/4 of an avocado and drizzled balsamic and walnut oil over it. I had a late dinner with a friend, we went to sushi, where I had edamame, grilled portabello mushrooms and two vegan rolls. So good.
Aside from not feeling great overall, I was pleasantly surprised that my clothes are fitting a little looser, that is fun. Also my skin is super clear; I had heard that detoxing can make you break out, which I was concerned about. I haven't had that happen.
I'm glad this day is finished, it wasn't a fun one.
