With all of the holiday brew ha ha I completely forgot to post about my final day. It was pretty uneventful. I ate a spinach and cheese omelette for breakfast. C wasn't feeling well so meh didn't eat today. I'm pretty sure I ate leftovers for lunch and for dinner I made spinach with cream … Continue reading Day 10 and the after

Day 9- the home stretch
There wasnt work for C today and Adin was sick so we had a late breakfast. I made eggs and toast for C and the kids for breakfast today. I didn't have toast of course, I had plain yogurt with raspberries and honey. It was delicious and very filling. Raspberries $2 Plain yogurt $1 It's … Continue reading Day 9- the home stretch
Day 8- almost done!!
Day 8- Sunday. I am loving life right now. It's been a long time since I have felt like this. I haven't even had coffee since Friday. C is starting to not mind the annoyance of it. He is happy to have his wife back. I made a family size whole wheat mixed berry upside-down … Continue reading Day 8- almost done!!
The cleanse: day 6 & 7
It's been a long and busy weekend. But the the main theme of this weekend is "and there it is!!" Midway through the day on Friday I hit my reason for doing this cleanse. I was at lunch with a friend and I was stopped bring so angry. I couldn't remember why i was angry … Continue reading The cleanse: day 6 & 7
The cleanse day 5
Halfway there! I'm really enjoying this (although I am finding myself to be a pain in the ass to others). I'm also finding that it's a bit easier than I remember it being. I think it's because the only thing that I really had to cut out was sugar and white flour and be more … Continue reading The cleanse day 5
The reason I need a cleanse
This isn't a post I have been wanting to make. But I know that I need to so that you all understand why I feel I need to go through this cleanse. Especially since I have my husband asking me why am cleansing right before the Thanksgiving and my friends asking why am cleansing before … Continue reading The reason I need a cleanse
The cleanse: daaaaaay 4
It's not as bad as it was the last time I cleansed, because I already had mostly cut them out, but omg am I craving white bread and sugar. If I can get through the next 24-48 hours I'll be home free. Another issue you have to get used to is portion sizes. Whole Foods … Continue reading The cleanse: daaaaaay 4
The cleanse: day 3
Day 3 is much harder. I'm starting to hit the brick wall of "There is nothing I can eat that I want". Breakfast: 2 cheese and egg whole wheat breakfast burritos. Then I had to take my 5 year old to the doctors which ended up taking almost all day and of course I brought … Continue reading The cleanse: day 3
The cleanse: day 2
I started the day with a big breakfast (after almost cheating on the first day). I had a craving for a snack last night and almost grabbed a handful of Cs pirate booty. Instead I had some raisins. Today I am going to make Parmesan and butter popcorn to have to snack on when I … Continue reading The cleanse: day 2
The cleanse: day 1
I need to feel like I have more control over my life. I've been progressing into a downward spiral of depression and self doubt (which will be a later post). I have been telling C that once we get approved for food stamps I will start my 10 day cleanse. We have had them since … Continue reading The cleanse: day 1
