Day 1 Detox

So I have been eating nothing but Junk for the past few months.  Too many donuts, cheeseburgers, and mega-helpings of dessert.  My body needs a rest.  I decided to do a detox.  I have done them in the past, when I drank too much or over-indulged and I find they help reboot my system. 

I am drinking Naked's Green Machine and eating low-carb for dinner.  In the past, I only had the drink for all of my meals but I need the protein.  I couldn't find the Naked this morning, so I bought the Bolthouse brand.  It was okay, but not as good as the Naked.  I had a few bites of roast chicken and some spaghetti squash and meat sauce.  I also had Crystal Light (Which I will never give up).

I have been reading up on the benefits of a low-carb diet for quite a while and think that's what I need to try.  I have wicked sugar and carb cravings (bread and sweets are what I dream about) so I think this is the ideal plan to help me kick the cravings.  For the next few days, I'll be having a bottle of Green Machine (16 oz, 300 cal total) during the day and eating a low-carb dinner. 

I am also spending a ton of time on Mark's Daily Apple.  They seem to have this figured out.  I have a major history of heart disease in my family (and my sweet mama just got diagnosed with 'the sugar') so I need to do something fast.  Hopefully, I'll have some great results to report by Friday.

I didn't work out today, but did move around alot.  I took my students to the park and it was a doozy of a walk.  Hopefully tomm. I'll either check out Curves or do a Liveexercise.com video.
