21 days…

Day 1 145lbs
Yes, it is true…I have started another cleanse. The Quantum Wellness Cleanse to be exact. Starting today and for the next 21 days I will be cutting out 5 things:
- Alcohol
- Animal Products
- Caffeine
- Gluten
- Sugar
So far it has been pretty uneventful, aside from the insane twitching in my left eye because I can’t have sugar… I normally have a caffeine attack around 1:30 every day so around that time I just about gnawed the side of my desk off. And I will bet you tonight after dinner I’m reeeeally going to want a glass of wine, to which I will try and replace with a nice cup of tea instead. Sigh. I haven’t been really grumpy yet, which is a surprise because usually when I don’t get sugar I hit bottom. Id better take a St. John’s Wart supplement before my crazy bitch comes out.
The whole point of this cleanse (for me) was to rid my body and mind of these addictions. I have gotten into some really bad habits over the last couple of years and I want to change things (and maybe lose a few pounds in the meantime). I eat way too many sweets during the day, snack too many times on non healthy things, and drink way too much alcohol. But to be honest with you I think the hardest one to break will be the Animal products. I can’t have cheese! I friggin love dairy products. I normally have eggs for breakfast too, which throws a wrench into things a bit, but I think I will be able to figure something out. The gluten free thing is very new to me, and I’m sure my up-coming grocery shopping trip will prove to be interesting. Basically for 21 days I will be a Vegan. Weird. I can’t even have butter y’all!
So was my day 1 menu:
Breakfast:
1C Pineapple chunks
.5L Perrier Sparkling Water
Lunch:
Cup of romaine lettuce
¼ C Cherry tomatoes
Perrier .5L with sugar free Crystal Light on the Go Peach Tea flavor
Snack:
¼ C Corn Nuts
Dinner”
Tuna Steak
Avocado sauce- with chives and celery salt
1C Rice
1C salad-Lettuce Tomato and cucumber
Seltzer water
and now its time for a dose of Grey’s Anatomy, and of course a cup of tea…that I secretly wish was wine…
