Day 1 of the fruity adventure

Breakfast:

Doesn’t look very appetising does it? I mixed red and green grapes,apple and orange and mango juice. Despite the colour, it actually tasted ok. Drank about 2 glasses of that mix. Then had a hot cup of tea after though (Ketepa to cleanse the palate..hehe).

Mid-day snack:

Cup of camomile, honey and vanilla tea. I thought by this point my resolve would have broken down..and I would have rushed in for a slice of toast with peanut butter (drool)..but I didn’t. Moving on….

Lunch:

Threw in some banana, pear, apple, mango yoghurt in the blender and whizzed for a smoothie. This mix was quite thick, so adding some water helped. Made about 2 tall glasses, which I had to gulp down quickly coz I was rushing to class.

Snack:

Banana….was happily nibbling on my banana when I saw some girls snacking on crisps and chocolate. How do they eat like that and remain so thin? and I do mean thin..the biggest among the usual group of snackers is a size 10. No I’m not bitter in the least!

Confession time: Hurt my foot during the course of the day, either pulled something or twisted something. All I know is that it hurts, and hurts like hell when I walk. So I hobbled home in pain, feeling sorry for myself..and did the inevitable. Broke the diet/detox   Cheese has the ability to sooth many of the issues in my life…from physical to mental pain. So I went and had a cheese sandwich. Sigh..it was yummy…But yeah, that was the only slip-up..will try and do better tomorrow.

Dinner:

This was a smoothie made from apple, pear, raspberries, clementines and orange and mango juice. Threw in some ice cubes as well and whizzed away! I forced one of my friends to partake of one of my creations..which was good and it meant I wasn’t suffering on my own. Until they decided the smoothie wasn’t enough and began to make an omelette infront of me. Filled with all the good things I like; mushrooms, onions, peppers, ham….I wanted to cry coz it smelled so good! (Yes 3TOC I get the Madagascar reference now).

I’ll try some vegetable based ones kesho after I go to the local Tesco….I saw a recipe for carrot, ginger and celery juice…hmm.

As I type, I’m trying not to think of food…I’m planning to go and watch Chocolat after this…but it probably isn’t a good idea..the mix of chocolate and Johnny Depp will probably have me straight in the kitchen..

Anyhu…that was day 1..not too bad (except for the cheese slip-up). Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
