Not for the weak at heart

Day 2

Well in all, today went much better. I created a delicious lunch by pan searing the salmon with spices. Now that, I could eat often. It didn't feel like a diet at all.

Throughout the day I found myself forgetting what I was doing, and would reach for that grape or a bite of cheese and have to remind myself not to.

I've somewhat eliminated the asparagus since I have to eat it raw, and that's one veggie I can't tolerate raw.

I'm getting used to the taste of quinoa. I'm sure it would taste great in an actual recipe, but on its own or just with spices, takes some getting used to.

My gut has been making a lot of growling noises, not because I am hungry though. I think it is trying to tell me something. I haven't yet determined whether that is "thank you" or "you just wait and see what I have in store for you."

One thing for sure is that a detox is not for the light at heart. I'm learning a lot about willpower. (Especially when chips and chocolate bars are staring at me during my 8 hour shift at work.) I know this first week will be the toughest and if I can make it through, the worst will be over. I pray that the reward will be worth the effort in the end.

If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always have.

Think thin!
