New Years DeTox!

A New Year's detox was NOT what I had on my 'to do' list, but my husband brought two home (detox kits that is) on December 31, 2011; so I said "Oh what a great idea!"...what was I thinking?

Mine has a big H on it

First, I've been contemplating trying the whole vegetarian thing..no meat except fish (however you can have meat on this plan), no dairy, and more fibre.

Second, I wanted to support my husband on a path to healthy eating, so what better way to do this than together and..

Third, after indulging over the holidays, and feeling my pants shrink day after day; I thought it might be a great kick-start...after all..it's only for 12 days!

So..on January 1, 2012 I wake with an incredible hangover.  I'm not sure how this happened.  It might have been the Irish whiskey I choked back in the name of tradition..or perhaps it was the Jaegger shots that were delivered in front of me, by a pretty waitress with nice boobs..(Yes I thought they were nice, and I told her as much), but really how it happened is moot..bottom line is I was.  I don't know about you, but when I'm hung over I crave greasy food BIG TIME.  When I stumble into the kitchen in search of some Advil, meeting my eyes on the table is a Wild Rose detox box with a big "H" on the top (you know because we had two boxes, and wouldn't want to mix them up)...now..my original goal was to quit smoking (no I still haven't) and I bought tons of gum and some mints to help me through...but as I was reading the detox directions I became acutely aware that I could not chew gum or mints while I was 'detoxing'.  How convenient hey?  So I used the detox as an excuse to continue smoking for twelve more days, and started this friggen cleanse.

I'm not sure I made the best decision.  First of all, I'm normally a fairly healthy eater, albeit not during the Christmas holidays (which for me tends to span much longer than one month) but really..is a cleanse what I really needed?

Today is January 3rd, 2012 and I'll tell you what.. I GAG at the smell of all of those little vitamins I have to take, and I've eaten more fibre than my body can possibly handle (I won't insert details here..but it involves pain)..and seriously all I want is a little Splenda in my tea!  I know I know... millions of people all over the world eat this food every day..but let's face it people.. they're used to it!

This is me..well not really 

I was hoping to last a week... but it appears I'm too 'weak'.  I'm quitting! I knew that next week it would be almost impossible to follow..like I'm going to ask the restaurant to steam my salmon and make me Millet.. yes.. It is possible to ask..but I won't.. and then I thought I could 'fake' that I'm still on it in support of my husband who (a) doesn't read my blogs anyway (I'm not sure he knows how to read..haha..I kid), (b) he's been laying around like a big baby with 'flu like symptoms'..ya? This is a described side effect on the box!.. and (c) I'm sick of making all this crap!... so I think I want him to secretly quit too..because he's driving me crazy.. so anyways....I'm weak I know.. I've detoxed 3 days... and well I'm good..
