Detox Day 9

Well, coming close to the end of this detox. I have to say that it has not been bad. I am enjoying the diet, the food I make is wonderful, I feel better, I feel like my portion control is under control, I feel like I know better what to eat, all in all life is better. We went to a movie on day 9. Instead of the usual popcorn which we love to have, we went to the store and got a bag of peanuts. Still had the salt, still had the crunch and still had to reach from something to nibble on. They had all the rhythms of eating popcorn (which I heard called razorblades to the colon) but were a healthier choice (and if you ask me, $2.99 for a bag of those compared to $6 for a bucket of popcorn with questionable butter on it, I will take the peanuts).

I guess what I have found out over this whole experience is that it is really easy to eat well. It also does not have to cost a lot to enjoy the foods you make. I have learned that EVERY meal needs to have PCF (proteins, carbs, fat). Yes, shock to me FAT! Even in my morning smoothie I am adding some kind of fat (a good fat like EVOO, Flax Seed Oil, etc.). That is what is making a balanced diet. Anyhow, it is my morning of Day 10, the final and last day of the detox. While I did dream of eating whipped cream and other things last night, I will not be spending today doing that. Tomorrow, maybe! Here is what I ate on Day 9...
