I also seriously want some dark chocolate. It took a lot of will power to not buy some at Trader Joe's yesterday. I was quite proud of myself, actually. It's on the "no" list because of the caffeine. It probably doesn't have any more caffeine than decaf coffee, but I'm going to try and keep resisting because it's definitely one of my go-to comfort snacks. I'm not quite sure, though, if I'll last. Trying to keep thinking positively...
I had my favorite frozen food for lunch today, which just happens to be cleanse-approved!
I know it's not great to eat too much frozen food, particularly because of the environmental impact of the packaging, as well as the energy to cook it twice. Plus, this cost a whopping $5.99! However, it was absolutely delicious.
I did, however, cook dinner tonight. I was tired when I got home close to 7:30pm, but I committed to seeing the meal I had planned through to fruition. I sauteed polenta (in a tube from Trader Joe's) with olive oil, baby chard & spinach, cherry tomatoes, cannellini beans, and fresh basil. It was a colorful, simple, farmer's market-inspired meal. And I have plenty of leftovers!
Throughout the day I also had a banana, an apple, a bunch of grapes, and some chips & salsa. I have a big container of homemade trail mix that I'm thinking of keeping at work if and when I need a little energy boost. I just don't want to end up eating it all while zoned out in front of the computer.
I had a dull headache today, and now I'm thinking that my body might just be starting to come down with something. I'll have to take more Emergen-C to keep it at bay. After all, I have a show and a big party to go to on Wednesday night! A good night's rest should help, too...
PS - I've already decided I'm going to eat and drink non-cleanse stuff on Wednesday night. I'm debating on whether or not to tack on an extra day of cleansing at the end to make up for it. I'll have to see how much off-track I go.
