Day 5–I fell off the wagon. But I jumped right back on.

Lunch: 

3.5oz sliced nitrate-free deli turkey
1/2 pear
10 pretzels
1/2 cup Yellow bell pepper

I could have stopped after the turkey.  My stomach is finally shrinking in size, and I didn’t need anything else.  But I ate it anyway.  I wished, later in the afternoon, that I had saved it for a mid-afternoon snack.

Dinner:

3.5oz Buffalo Steak (with salt, pepper, and garlic juice)
1/2 cup Broccolette
1 rice cake
1/2 cup strawberries, and I dug into the “if you must” part of the diet and added a little bit of Agave nectar.  Yumm.

 

Then I fell off the wagon.  I remembered that I had a bucket of mostly-gone cotton candy on the counter that I didn’t kill before I started my detox.  And I was really having a craving.  So I ate it.  It tasted really, really good.  I feel off the wagon.  But the good part is that with this diet, they say “you might mess up.  If you do, just start again tomorrow.”  I like that attitude, because expecting me not to mess up is unrealistic.  But I had my mess up.  Now I’m going to resume my healthy eating tomorrow.  So there.

By the way, the sludgey detox biproducts must be getting flushed through, because I felt great today.  Not just good, but extra good… with lots of extra energy.  It was certainly a contrast to yesterday.  I was super cranky yesterday afternoon.
