The juice detox began and ended. I had mentioned a couple of days ago about our date night cheating episode. I must say Michael did okay but I killed the detox, I placed a knife directly in the middle of it and said “forget this!” :)
We went to Mexican food and I order a wet chimichanga. There is absolutely no positive health factor in this dish. (basically a wet chimichanga is a deep fried burrito but with delicious cream sauce lathered on top) I stuffed myself on chips and salsa as I always do because I am starved by the time I reach the restaurant that it’s almost pointless to order a meal. Michael on the other hand ordered fajitas but ate it without the tortillas. Pretty much no carbohydrates in this meal but he joined me pretty heavily on the chips and salsa.
By the end of the meal Michael thought he was going to throw up. I say this not to gross you out but because he realized how the 20 minutes of pleasure leads to 24 hours of pain. The exciting reality of going out to eat is all roses until after the meal when your tummy begins to hurt. The fruit and vegetables has been a huge eye opener for us. He honestly looks healthier and hasn’t craved the sweets he used to crave; the fruit fulfills that craving. He also mentioned that his energy has sustained him throughout the day instead of hitting the afternoon slump.
We decided we would stick pretty much to fruits, vegetables and healthy eating throughout the week and then come the weekend we will eat in moderation what we desire. :)
Moment of Truth: If you do a detox do NOT go out to eat when you decide to cheat. Ease yourself into the garbage you are craving. :)
