hello day nine.
i am in week two of my three week cleanse. things are going well but i am really sick of eating fruits and vegetables all day. i don't know if i will make it the entire 21 days strictly following the rules. i think i might have to change things up a bit, add a cup of coffee here or there. maybe some bread. i have been doing awesome, but i am really wanting a change of pace and VARIETY. however, i did have a small quesadilla for dinner the other day because i was so starved for bread and cheese. horrible. fail. but i didn't feel a bit guilty. other than that blunder, i have been sticking to the rules. the main thing for me is to curb my craving for sweets and this cleanse really has done it. also, being more aware of what i am consuming throughout the day helps to understand that i really dont NEED that cupcake or piece of chocolate. annndd the booze. if i dont drink that glass or two of wine every night i am saving myself 200-400 calories. easy. and that doesnt include the days when i drink more than that or mix myself a mimosa on sunday morning. i really dont drink that much or that often, so cutting alcohol out isnt too difficult.
as the rules state:
What You're Eating During Week 1:
fruits, vegetables, and plant-based fats: including nuts, seeds, and oils
What You're Adding Back in Week 2:
seafood, beans and lentils, and organic soy
manila mango salsa
two manila mangos - peeled, pitted, and diced
1/4 red onion - diced
juice of half a lime
fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
(for heat dice up a serrano or jalapeno. all ingredient ratios can be changed to suit your taste)
combine all ingredients in a bowl. you can serve immediately or put it in the fridge for couple hours or overnight to allow all the flavors to come together. yum!
happy cleansing!
-the mrs.
