Cleansing, Day 2
So far, no direct results from the cleansing, but I’m assuming that it’ll take at least a few days to start feeling the effects.
It’s a really quiet day at work, with very little to do, since the rest of my team is at a conference in the city. May just work from home this afternoon.
9:00am:
McCann’s Quick Cooking Oats with 1 tsp of each of the following… dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries and raisins, almonds, walnuts and wheat germ
Mix1 Hi-Antioxidant Fiber Drink in Orange-Carrot (the extra fiber in these make them a little too powdery)
GNC UltraMega for Her Vitamins
12:30pm:
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk cookie (bad, I know, but I can’t resist Specialty’s cookies when they’re just sitting there waiting to be devoured)
2:15pm:
Lunch at Thai Pepper
Broccoli Prawns (ate all 5 prawns and most of the broccoli, but left the carrots because they were soaked in the greasy sauce)
Fresh spring roll
2 tsp peanut sauce
Frozo’s Fat-free Froyo (Original Tart) with mango, blackberries and lychee
I’ve Been Bad
Yes, I’ve been bad, in more ways that one. I realized that I haven’t updated my blog since January, and I’ve fallen off the wagon in regards to really paying attention to what I eat. So far I’ve maintained my weightloss, although I have no idea how. I also have a new incentive to get back in the habit, my friend Lucy’s wedding is coming up and she has asked me to be her bridesmaid, so I definitely have to look better for the wedding pics!!
So, to kick-off a new phase I’m doing a whole body cleansing, which I’ve heard helps to clear out your body and give you lots of energy, both of which I need. Today is day one.
