Cupcake Taunting & Detoxing

Okay, so I have had  quite a few questions about the whole Detox thing, so let me break it down for ya. I have been referring to this as a "Detox" for lack of a better word.....still can't come up with anything else so that's what it will stay. Last Monday I began five days of trying to eat primarily fruits and vegetables to jump start weight loss, eliminate junk and to possibly feel better, but primarily weight loss. I am not following any kind of diet or program, just winging it. I successfully made it Monday-Friday of last week following this plan with just a few exceptions. I was/am trying to cut out: most sugar (I know it's in some things I am still eating), starches, grains, dairy, caffeine. I am already a vegetarian and have been for about sixteen years, so I didn't have to cut the meat part out. In addition to eating fruits and vegetables, I have had a couple of hard-boiled eggs, honey, peanut butter, raw almonds and cheese. I had crumbled blue cheese on one salad last week and it was so good, totally worth it. Initially I was hoping to make it until Wednesday of last week and when I did the next goal was until Friday, and I did. I did give myself a break on the weekend though, I knew I could not do this continuously. Here's what I let myself indulge in: Coffee and a bagel on Saturday, a salad with a little cheese and egg Saturday night. On Sunday I treated myself to coffee from Starbucks and Sunday night I had one and a half pieces of pizza, it was deep dish. I did not eat one of these, I  swear:

The main things normally in my diet that I am trying to cut back on: bread, english muffins, coffee, pasta, tortillas, cheese, oatmeal, coffee, pop...really just too much carbs, caffeine and sugar. So, did I feel better last week eating this way? Maybe by Friday but I had a headache for the first four days, so.......no, not really. By Saturday I felt really good and I am still feeling good today. Have I lost any weight so far? Dear God, I hope so. Nine pounds as of yesterday. And yes, I do realize that if I don't keep this up I will gain it all back or not to continue to lose any more. This week my plan is not to be quite as strict as last week, it is just not practical in everyday life, not in my life anyway. So, there you have it. And want to know the thing I craved most of all last week? A piece of wheat toast with peanut butter and honey and a cup of coffee. Yum. Wish me luck this week!
