Jump Start Dextox Fasting
Well my Project Skinny Bitch did not start as I had planned. Distractions, occasions, and snacking prevailed. Such is life, though. You just gotta keep going. To top it off I’ve been fighting a laptop virus which is slowing everything down and has stalled my plan to lay out the guidelines for PSB here on the blog. I can only be here for a short time before I get shut down. Very irritating. But here’s what is going on so far.
Friday the 1st I was a little melancholy. I did manage to get a good Turbo Jam workout in. I didn’t have any meat, caffeine, or candy. Noticed no difference in the way I felt other than happy that I exercised and made it through the complete workout.
Saturday Hubby and Son went to the lake. I had too much work to do PLUS our hamster is sick and in the middle of daily meds treatment so I was happy to stay home. My Daughter decided she wanted to stay with me and lay low for the weekend. We took a notion to go someplace adventurous for dinner and ended up at a Japanese grill. Not terribly unhealthy but I did eat a couple pieces of chicken and way too much shrimp. On the way out my Daughter wanted some bulk candy and I ate some of that too.
In keeping with the idea of a food journal I will report that none of that eating had anything to do with hunger or impulse or self control. I never argued with myself about it. My Daughter wanted to have a Girl’s Night Out while the boys were gone (she’s 
and I made the choice to enjoy. Great in the big picture, but not for day 2 of a challenge.
Sunday was uneventful. I had to show houses and was pretty busy… had no caffeine or meat but didn’t have anything good either. Ate too much bread and Ramen noodles. How I feel is crappy. And again, I never felt hungry or “tempted” to stray from my program but I had gotten busy and still haven’t filled up the fridge with my yummy veggie treats.
I decided last night that I would do some type of fast or detox because I had not jumped in the way I hoped PLUS I just feel all full and gunky. I researched the topic last night and found lots of interesting fasts, but decided on just a good old fruit and juice fast. I was planning on two days, but I don’t know now…
I started out this morning with a big glass of water, followed by Pomegranate juice. Later had another big glass of water. (Constantly sipping). While the rest of the Fam had dinner I had a shake with frozen tropical fruit, fresh blueberries, pomegranate juice, protein and a tablespoon of olive oil. (gotta get my MUFA in there!)
I had a GREAT day! I am bloated, but that started yesterday for whatever reason. I was on fire with energy all day! Was starting to joke about feeling cranky around 4 and now at 7pm I am flipping hungry!!! I’m aggressively sucking down this big glass of water next to me.
I don’t know if I will make it through a second day because I am seriously feeling a little crazy here, but I am determined to finish out this day. I am headed to the store in just a bit to get my vegetarian staples and if I get any wilder with hunger I’m hitting the bed early to avoid temptation!
So that’s it. 4 days on the project. Hungry, bloated, and grouchy. Sounds about right!
