Day 1!

I'm half way through day one. I got a brand new crown installed today. It's been two years of torture from LA to Mexico as I've been fixing this tooth. I'm hoping the sinus problems I've been having will finally be over. After the root canal I could breath for the first time in ages.

Last night I enjoyed my final fried food hurrah at Bottega Louis enjoying their fried portabella and calamari, then to the Gorbals for their fried gizzards and fried broccoli. I must admit I never eat that much fried anything at once and after all that I'm really happy to have this detox coming! I did not feel pleasant waking up this morning and I've got a dry patch of skin on my face that wasn't there before my rampage.

DAY ONE: so far!

Breakfast: Smoothie

I started today off with a smoothie as I do most mornings that I have to leave the house early. I always use a base of

banana

ground flax seed

green powder (a motley mix of super greens like spirulina and chlorella)

rice, almond, or coconut milk

and then add another fruit or flavor

I decided to keep with the spring theme and add cherries! I put some cinnamon and aloe in as well.

Lunch: Sammich!

I took a two hour drive to San Diego where my new pimp crown was waiting for me and as I was leaving realized the almonds and orange I brought with me were not going to cut it two hours back to LA la land. I went to Sprouts. I love this store, and it's right down the street from my dentist. I had them build me a sandwich with whole grain bread, Boars Head turkey, tomatoes, onion, a giant handful of sprouts and dill pickles. I skipped the dressings completely. Mayo and mustard both sometimes have added sugars and since I couldn't check the labels at the deli I just let it go. Frankly it was a great sandwich with out it and I'm very happy with it.

Dinner: Salads galore.

Now I got called in to work, so I won't be able to use tonight as prep time like I was planning soooo... I'm gonna finish off the quinoa I sprouted Sunday and make a little salad with it from the last of my CSA box before work. I'll have a beet salad and collard greens at the restaurant I work at, both of those things have a little olive oil and salt as a dressing and nothing more.

I have no idea what tomorrow will bring so I'm hoping for a little spare time to work in the kitchen and prepare, however it's looking like a pretty packed day already. Wish me luck!
