Life | Detox Diary Days 12 & 13

I'm not going to lie Week Two got a little boring to blog about....and if it's boring for me to write about it's sure as hell not going to be interesting for you to read about!

So I'll quickly run through Days 12 and 13 and then do a little update on my Detox Progress! Spoiler Alert - this Detox works!

Day 12

07.00 am - Hot Water and Lemon

07.30 am - Berry Smoothie made with Liver Detox Powder

11.00 am - Bounce Ball and Green Tea

13.30 pm - Smoothie blended on-the-go

16.30 pm - Apple with a few Pecan Nuts

19.30 pm - Leftover Thai Green Curry with Steamed Kale and Long Stem Broccoli

 Day 13

As Day 12 except for Dinner I made some Thai Inspired Salmon "En Papillote".

This is a super quick, healthy and tasty way to cook fish. You basically wrap your little fishy up in a parcel with some yummy flavours and pop it in the oven. 15 - 20 minutes later (depending on size) your tasty little fish is ready!

I switch the flavour combination for this up all the time but I had a quite a few ingredients leftover from making the Thai Green Curry earlier in the week so I decided to just use what I had to hand which was:

- 1 Clove of Garlic (crushed)

- Fresh Ginger (grated)

- 1/2 Red Chilli (de-seeded and sliced)

- Fresh Coriander (roughly chopped)

- Little squeeze of Agave Nectar

- Juice from a lime

Pop your salmon on a big piece of tin foil and then scatter the above ingredients over. Wrap up your parcel leaving as much "air" as possible around your fish to allow it to steam. And then you place in a pre-heated 180 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

We had ours with a Baby Spinach and Tomato Salad but you could put anything leafy green alongside this for a delicious dinner!

The juices from the fish are so good make sure to use them!

On the morning of Day 13 I weighed myself and took my waist measurement for a little progress update and the results were amazing!

10lbs down and 2" off my waist in 12 days....crazy! And the great thing about the detox isn't just about the visual results. I feel so full of energy! I don't ever get a mid-afternoon lull and have enough energy in the tank until bed-time. I have a lovely flat tummy that doesn't bloat and although I generally have a very sunny outlook on life, I do feel incredibly positive. 

I have just over a week left on the detox so I'll do a full round up at the end but thought I would give you some just over mid-way results, I couldn't be happier!
