How are YOU doing?

We're almost done with the first week!  I feel like I've been so busy with work this week that I haven't even had time to focus on stressing about being on the cleanse.  That being said, I've done pretty good.  I've stuck to it except for a couple of beers at the Lagunitas party and after a day and a half without coffee, the headache came through.  So I've had about 3 cups of coffee total this week so far.  There was even a day that I was supposed to have a meeting at Heartland Cafe, where I figured I'd find a cleanse-worthy salad.  The meeting got cancelled and I was without a lunch.  I ended up going to Chipotle and getting veggie tacos with corn tortillas.  Cleanse success!

I think the best meal we (Matt) made was this veggie stir fry. CleansePro tip:  grate a head of cauliflower and saute it in a pan with a bit of olive oil for about 15 minutes.  It's a great substitute for rice.  We've done it twice now.

I made the slaw and it's good, but I wouldn't put the avocado in until ready to eat next time.  And I made that butternut squash apple soup, but subbed in pumpkin and it just wasn't good.  Didn't even bother taking a pic.  Made this simple veggie soup and it was pretty mediocre.

Looking forward to adding beans back into my diet next week!  Tell me how your week has been!

  1. My week has been eerily similar to yours. But with more coffee.
