Winter cleaning

Today is Day 1 of our 12-day Wild Rose D-Tox program. Ed was keen to do it and I volunteered to do the D-Tox with him since the diet is the big thing about the program. If I was going to worry about the food, then I may as well to the whole damn thing too. Plus after coming back from Warrenville, where I consumed restaurant food for 13 days, I felt really yucky inside.

So, here we are, eating super healthy meals with no additives or processed anything. We’re allowed to eat as much as we’d like but from a list of allowed and recommended items like buckwheat, brown rice, beans, fish, vegetables, etc. Unfortunately, chips are under the “not allowed” list. Rice cakes with almond butter just doesn’t sound as enticing as cheese puffs.

The biggest adjustment is the planning for meals and snacks since we will not have the luxury of take out or granola bars. But, it is only for 12 days. Totally manageable! At least that’s what I’ll keep telling myself until we’re done.
