I didn't want to bore everyone with my detox that I am doing so I figured I would mix up this entry a little bit... and here goes!
It's like wishing for a shooting star when you're standing in the daylight. It's like wanting to give all your love when your love is giving all of his love elsewhere. It's almost like I want to get even closer to you, but it's almost like I should run away from you.
It seems like the sun shines in your eyes even when my heart is filled with rain. It seems like all the words you say to me are like learning a new language even though I've already learned them before. It almost seems like I want to keep you forever, but it's almost like forever was lost at hello.
... I love to write. I am a very "creative" writer so don't take my writings too serious. I'm very over-analytical and like to be dramatic in all types of my work. Sometimes it's based on reality, but sometimes it's just make believe... Guess you're going to have to figure out what is what... ;-)
DAY SIX of my detox... As you know, I decided to do a detox. I never actually explained why I chose to do this. There are quite a few reasons why I did it. I have considered doing a vegan diet for years now. I don't eat pork/pig and haven't for quite some time now. A lot of experiments are done on pigs because they're so similar to humans... Makes me sick to think about. They say our muscles are almost identical... so next time you bite into a pig, think about eating a human butt or thigh! GROSS. Plus, they're so smart. They're smarter than dogs... so they are very aware of their life and their death. Super sad. I did it because I don't like how animals are slaughtered or treated... I don't like that they are kept stacked in cages, how they are killed, and that they are never able to live their life. I think everything in life deserves the opportunity to live. It just makes me sad... and I have had a hard time eating meat since I have learned of these things even though I still manage to.
Another reason I did this was to test my own self-discipline. I have never stuck to a diet in my life. I wanted to see if I was capable of doing it. I'm not one to deprive myself though... I love to eat... and this detox, you can eat as much as you want... it's just really healthy, which is good! I literally eat like every hour or two on this diet. I take almonds with me almost everywhere I go or I bring a smoothie with me to drink while I am running my errands or whatever so there's never a moment where I am starving.
And last, but definitely not least, I did it because it's always good to give your body a break... and to get healthy. And I'm on day six... and I feel great... it's definitely working. I read so many great things about this detox and it isn't letting me down at all.
I must say, I thought this would be much harder than it actually is. Today was my first day though of craving "REAL" food! I wanted cheese and sweets so bad it was killing me. But I stuck to my detox, and didn't have either. Instead, I made a mushroom soup that turned out DELICIOUS and I had a smoothie to curb my sweet-tooth. I have noticed that my skin feels and looks healthier... I still feel a little bloated, but I think it's just my body detoxing... I'm hoping and thinking it should go away by the 2nd week.
I want to post a few recipes, but it's so time-consuming... I eat a lot of quinoa (I'm a big pasta eater usually so this is a great alternative)... I'm always snacking on almonds or fruit, smoothies, BANANAS!!!!! (like 3-4 a day haha), I eat fruit and granola, soups, grilled and sauteed veggies, I had brown rice that tasted like rice-a-roni after I made it, but I got really tired from it!!!, umm... it doesn't sound like much, but I mix a lot of it. For instance, I made a Mexican quinoa... It was like a spicy "rice" salad. I mixed the quinoa with black beans, onions, mushrooms, garlic, scallions, tomatoes, and put spicy chili peppers and other spices in there and served it over fresh spinach and it was awesome! I included a pic, btw... so good! You learn to just play around with mixing things together and play around with spices. I can't say that I have felt deprived or anything like that... I'm on almost a week! I will keep you guys posted on how it goes! Oh, and I haven't been working out really. I think I am going to go to the gym though tomorrow. Going to try for like three or four days a week. :-)
