Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox - Day 8

Day # 8

I thought by this day I would be not craving any of the restricted items on the eating plan, but I was wrong.  In the afternoon, I got hungry, and ran out of food at my desk.  Yes, even after that large salad.  I saw chocolates and it took every ounce of my willpower to not just start eating them like crazy!  I know it'll be worth it at the end, but a strong craving can be almost unbearable, as this one was!  Then, I walk into the lunch room and there are these awesome flatbread sandwiches that look just amazing, just there waiting for someone to declare it their lunch.  Being super sensitive to anything made with any type of flour, I would never eat one of these fluffy, doughy delights, but it doesn't make it any easier to pass them by.  I did grow up on a large bread diet as most of us did, it's a comfort food that comforts me no more :)

As I write this, I would do almost anything for a plate of corn chips with melted Daiya cheese and hot salsa!  This is all part of detoxing and being able to stick with the program.  It's important in order to get the full benefits that the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox has to offer.

OK, I just have to mention I just had my first blog viewer from Tunisia today!  Now that is amazing!  The Sahara Desert covers large parts of this country!  This is just awesome.


breakfast
2 eggs, over easy
roasted potatoes

I didn't bring my breakfast at work today, my bad, but I was able to find this in a food court.  Sure, the eggs aren't organic and neither are the potatoes, I'm sure, but it'll have to do for today!

lunch
salad
4 cups spring salad mix
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 avocado, chopped
1 apple, chopped
3/4 cup roasted almonds

dressing
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Yes, this is a large salad, but it filled me up!  I was asked again today: "Do you eat ALL THAT?" Oh yes I do!! lol


snack
Jugo Juice snack-size The Big Beet (beet, apple, spinach, blueberries and ginger through a juicer).
- I had to have something this afternoon, I was just losing it, funny it's the first real hard time I've had since I started.  This juice really helped me get through the rest of my time at work.

dinner
leftover curried rice salad

snack
2 rice cakes
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 pear

Thick slices of pear served on top of almond buttered rice cake really hit the spot!
