I did it! I survived day one of the detox and I did really well. I didn't cheat, I'm happy to say, but I did make a substitution for dinner last night. The first day I was supposed to have tilapia for dinner and on day 3 I have turkey cutlet. Well I bought the turkey cutlets yesterday fresh, and the tilapia was frozen! So I had the turkey instead, and I'll have the tilapia tomorrow. Other than that I did really well.I quite liked the 'sassy water', I couldn't really taste the mint in it, just a hint of cucumber, mostly lemon and I didn't put ginger in yesterday's water because I didn't have any. I always have lemon in my water so this was very similar, quite refreshing with the addition of cucumber and I managed to get through the whole 2 liters. Today I have ginger in the water but again I can hardly taste it?
So, on the menu today is :
Rice krispies for breakfast, 4 oz pineapple in juice, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Lunch is 3oz canned tuna in water, 1 cup steamed baby carrots, 1 low fat string cheese
Dinner will be 30z grilled chicken, 1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms sauted with1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 cup brown rice.
I thought the evening would be the hardest because I really do snack a lot at night, but I had a few tomatoes left over from lunch (there was just too many to eat in one sitting!) so I hate them around 8pm and had an early night, going to bed at 9.30. If I had stayed up any later I know I would have felt hungry.
One day down, 3 more to go - I CAN DO THIS!It's wet and cold out today, on the agenda for me is laundry, making lists of things for Christmas and knitting my neighbor's Christmas gift. What are you up to?

Good luck! ;) I'll be back to see how this is going. After Christmas I might need a detox too!
Go Girl! Do not eat at night! You are so right. It's the key to success! :)
Way to go D! My diet/healthy eating is going by the wayside. We've been out to dinner two nights in a row and tomorrow I'm meeting an online friend for lunch and going out with Doug's clients at night. Maybe on the weekend I can cut back abit ;-)
Keep up the good work! Hugs xo
You are doing well. I've just snaffled a Snickers bar while reading this! By the way, you had me laughing with your box of Milk Tray. Only a female could reward herself for detoxing with a big old box of chocs! I'd do the same. :O)
Certainly not detoxing today. It's our 5th wedding anniversary, so we'll be scoffing food from KFC, and I'm so excited, was just putting some things away in the fridge and found a bottle of champagne tucked away! Hurrah! Have been out and bought myself some superb new high-high-HIGH heels to celebrate. :O)
Have a lovely day xx
