Bagels
Scratch that. We didn't eat pizza, we went to the BAGEL HOUSE on Bayview.

DONE like dinner
FOOOOOOD. We get to eat again. I seriously could not be happier.
Today we are going to get Pizza for lunch. Yes, it completely ruins everything I've done for the past week, but I just need something deliciously greasy. It's our reward.
The outcome of the DETOX:
-Not eating makes you moody.
-I felt good around day 5 and 6. My stomach felt great, never ached.
-It was an experience...
The bottom line is: we realized over this past week that healthy food makes you feel good, and it IS possible to cut out all the crap (toxic) food. You just need to make sure you eat enough of the good food to stay healthy and most importantly, HAPPY.
THE END.

DAY 5
More than half way done.
I haven't cheated yet (at least I haven't eaten outside of the diet). It's harder now that I'm at the cottage.
Let me tell you what we eat here:
-Eggs with cheddar cheese on an english muffin (and bacon for those who eat it)
-French toast (with coconut milk) or pancakes
-mom's homemade cookies (oatmeal chocolate chip with white chocolate chunks)
-montreal style bagels with smoked wild salmon and cream cheese
-(sometimes) hot dogs (or veggie dogs)
-crackers and cheese and grapes
(and yes we also eat healthy things)
-DINNER: roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, salmon, steak, burgers, salad!, veggies, mashed potatoes...
OK I think you get the idea. Basically we eat really delicious food up here and I can't eat any of it. Well, some of it.. like fruit and salmon...but STILL.
FEeeeeeeeel my paaaaaain...
That's all for now,
Als

Moody blues
Ever since we started day 1, we have both been very moody and grumpy. Perhaps it's just a case of the pms, but... I think it's the lack of FOOD!!! Good lord I'm hungry. So this post goes out as an apology to those I have been pissy at. Sorry. It's almost over... Only 3 more days!

2 large carrots
1 large apple, cut into wedges

SUM of DAY 3
Today was a bit of good and bad...
-Basically we were exhauuuuuusted all day. We managed to sneak in a nap on the picnic bench at lunch time.
- WE WERE SOOOO HUNGRY... we were hungry because .. well we could only have liquids today and Ash forgot her Whey powder for the smoothie, and neither of us really like Miso Soup (which we should have eaten)... so we were dyyying.
CHEATING:
There was only a LITTLE bit of cheating today....
Ally: I had ONE slice of my coworker Derek's orange... and I had a handful of blueberries (but that is allowed another day, so it's ok).
Ash: She ate an apple and squeezed lime on top, instead of making the juice. She said it was very good and will do that again some time.
-After work it was around dinner time, in this case "Super Greens Juice" and Miso soup. I didn't make the miso soup, and instead I just ate the shitake mushrooms. I made the juice, but let me warn you, if you don't have a juicer it will take a LOOOONG time. It was really good though.
-Went to YOGA, which is important for a detox. It is crucial to sweat (out the toxins), and also yoga is just awesome (MIND BODY AND SOUL).
ONE PROBLEM with this detox is that it takes up A LOT of time to prepare all of the food. Pretty sure Gwyneth Paltrow never ever even went into the kitchen when she did this... if only we were rich and could have a personal chef.
That's all for DAY 3! Stay tuuuuned for Day 4! It's gonna be a hard one. ALL LIQUIDS as well...
PLEASE NOTE: Over the weekend I will be posting less frequently because I'm going to my cottage.
