Detox - Day 3

Well! I finished three days of detox and rewarded myself with a few boiled vegetables, which was DELIGHTFUL. I wasn't going to eat anything for 5 days, but I decided to stay on 'detox' mode, but add some food. I found that I was too tired to do anything, which isn't really practical.
Emotionally, I have been a bit low today also, I think because my fiance is away and we are just approaching the one week mark... of SEVEN WEEKS! 
And wedding planning is no fun alone...
Anyway, the show must go on and so must my health regime...
More tomorrow!

Detox - Day 2

Woohoo! I got to eat watermelon today! Made quite a change after 36 hours of only water, honey and lemon juice. 
But actually, I feel a bit less hungry now, than I did last night, which is nice. It is usually that way. Whenever I do extended fasting, by day 3 I am usually not hungry at all. But detoxing and fasting are two completely different things and the feel is not the same at all.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll be adding non-caffeine herbal teas like peppermint and chamomile to my diet.
I was doing some research today about healthy eating places here in Singapore. The thing is, I've decided to go on a 40 day intentional diet directly after this detox. But I still have friends to meet. So I am looking for healthy, affordable eating places. 
So far, I am pretty impressed with a place called 'Salad Stop'. I'll be checking them out on Tuesday night.
Another day down and I am quite pleased with myself.
Here's to a healthier me :)

Detox - Day 1



Well, I started a detox diet today. For today I am allowed to have:


water
lemon juice
honey


That's all!
I've come up with a bunch of reasons why I should just stop this and have something to eat, but I have been wanting to detox for some time now, so I keep reminding myself that it is for my own health... and it won't kill me!
I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out. It's been years since I did a detox diet, but I used to always feel so much healthier when I did one in the past.
My purpose is NOT, as has been suggested by some people, to lose weight. While I do usually lose weight, it is quickly gained again and so therefore isn't an effective weight loss program. Rather, my purpose is health.
Tomorrow I get to eat watermelon, so looking forward to that!
