Coffee cravings...Detox Day 3

Woke up today to over 14 inches of snow!  My daughter actually had school, but I had to call her out because I could not get out of my driveway!  Completely snowed in!  Luckily, hubby came back mid day from his all night plowing gig and he and my son got us all plowed, shoveled and snowblowed!  This crazy March weather is insane!  Less than a week until Spring!  I cannot wait for sunny days and flowers!

Today's cravings are just COFFEE.  What I wouldn't give for just a nice, piping hot cup of coffee right now........sigh.

Breakfast was a typical smoothie, just changed up the ingredients a bit.  I made it quite late (10:00) due to my daughter and I sleeping in, and here it is 2:30 and I'm not at all hungry :-)  I have chicken salad for lunch but I'm really not hungry right now so I'm going to hold off.  Dinner is a crockpot stew recipe that is jammed with veggies and kale.

I'm surprised my energy level is pretty good considering I'm running on zero caffeine....that's surprising.  I do not feel as "puffy" and "bloated"--I'm guessing this is from not eating any dairy.  My body hates dairy.  I've always had issues with cheese, eggs and milk.  Kills my asthma and my gut.  But, I'm always trying to sneak dairy in someplace because I just love the flavors.....Hopefully this detox will help me keep it out of my diet for good.  Hopefully.

Well, that's about all there is to report today.  Did I mention I really would love a coffee?? ;-)

Until tomorrow,

Craving Crunchy! Detox Day 2

I wish I could say that today is going as easily as yesterday, but I'm actually starting to feel cravings today.  Really craving something crunchy and sweet, along with a nice cup of hot coffee!!

And, to make matters worse... my daughter (home today because of this spring blizzard), decided to reheat a wonderful smelling burrito for lunch while I sulked over my very plain salad.

I'm sure sitting in the house while it's storming outside doesn't help much.  I always seems to crave sweets while watching TV, and that's what we've been doing ALL day.  I'd love to get up and tackle one of the 50 projects I need to finish, but I'm just not feeling motivated.  Snuggling under the blanket watching game shows seems like more fun right now :-)

So, I'm digging deep and pushing away the cravings.  Hoping we do not lose our power!  Wish me luck!!
