Life | Detox Diary Day Eleven

After a good nights sleep I woke up on Monday morning feeling about a thousand times better than I had the day before. Happy Monday! (I don't normally put those two words together....)

07.00 am - Hot Water and Lemon

07.30 am - Berry Smoothie

12.00 pm - Cocounut Macademia Bounce Ball and Teapigs Green Tea, the perfect little pick-me-up.

14.30 pm - After a very busy morning I finally had a chance to stop for lunch! I bought a Promixx Vortex Shaker to help mix up the powder, this was the first time I had a chance to use it. It has a little battery powered blender inside. Ideally you want to drink your Smoothie as soon as possible after mixing it which is why I didn't make ahead in the morning. I'd measured out the Almond Milk and Detox Protein Powder the night before and added half a banana and got......

....chunks! They look like little banana floaters! The Promixx mixes well but is no substitute for an actual blender. Lesson learned. I will have my fruit on the side in future! In other good news, I'm getting used to the texture of the shakes so having them twice a day isn't a drama.

19.30 pm - Dinner. We had the Hearty Winter Stew that I had frozen from Day Seven. We added half a cup of lentils to give it a bit more substance for dinner. The detox is great for that. All the recipes make quite a few portions which are perfect for the freezer.

21.00 pm - Chamomile and Maple Tea.

22.30 pm - Bed.

Life | Detox Diary Day Six

I'm so excited that we're nearly half way through the Detox! I'm also very excited because I got two fun deliveries today, one was my order of Teapigs which I've wanted to try for ages, and the other.....my new phone! Woop!

I've loved my iPhone for the last few years but it's time to move on. I thought I would give the Samsung Galaxy S4 a whirl, can't wait to try it out!

Today was a funny one, I ended up working at the house until nearly 9pm and hadn't prepped or made dinner. Dan got home from Football not long after so we decided to improvise a quick supper using ingredients that we know are ok for the Detox in general. The time we ate at is less than ideal but c'est la vie, I had a kitchen floor that needed attending to.

07.00 am Hot Water and Lemon

07.30 am I had the Oatmeal again - I'm actually starting to like it!

12.00 pm Coconut and Macademia Bounce Ball and a Teapigs Green Tea with Mint. Teapigs are so posh! They are pure tea in little "temples" that are made from a special bio-degradable material. The taste is great too. Very clean. Some teas can leave a residue in your mouth after (gross, sorry) but these ones don't. You can almost feel the goodness working!

15.00 pm I knew I would be home from work early today so didn't pack my lunch. When I got in I had Chicken Salad, it was amazing!

21.30 pm A Danny B Special - Omelette of course! That boy is the d's b's of omelettes. We both needed something quick. Whilst he made dinner, I prepped our food for tomorrow, love a bit of team work! Our omelette had onion, tomato, spinach, some left over roasted veg and we had avocado on the side. All fresh and clean so hopefully not too much of a detox fail.

22.30 pm Maple & Camomile Tea. Those sweet cravings are hanging around but this tea really helps and it's good at getting you ready to....

23.00 pm ....Zzzzzzz
