Ick - detoxing - ick

I woke up this morning like it was Christmas Eve, all excited to get started with my new detox program. Got up and drank my warm lemon juice and my glass of water with psyllium husk (like drinking hair, yuck), took the bentotite clay (didn't taste like anything). Then, I started my vegetable soup that would turn into my "snack" for the next few days. I brewed up routabega (sp?), sweet potato, mushroom, and carrots, all organic of course. It simmered for 2 hours then I poured it into water bottles for easily assessible snacks. Yuck. Tastes like potato water. It is hard to swallow.
Then, I made my protein shake, with a cup of frozen berries, rice protein powder, some other powder, some water, some flax seed (eww consistency), and flax seed oil. Delish. Not really, but I am trying to fool myself. This will be my lunch and breakfast for the next seven days.
Next, I steamed some veggies (yellow pepper, zucchini, squash, and onion). These were my lunch and dinner. I will make a new batch tomorrow.
After a trip to home depot, came home and made a really delicious dinner for the family - chicken pesto pasta, yummy. One of my faves, but I didn't eat it. I get to eat fish all week. I do so love fish, but I love it with cheese and tarter sauce and lots of it. I only get plain fish and only about 4 oz. OH, I forgot the brown rice. I cooked that up and saved some portions.
I think I used every dish in the kitchen. It is a lot of work to be healthy.
I have also gone pee a lot and peeing clear. That's a good thing.

Tomorrow is day 2. I don't think I will wake up all excited. And, we are going to my parents' house for dinner for my sisters birthday. I won't be able to eat the stuffed shells (which would kill me anyways - all that cheese and pasta!) and I have to pass on the cake. Oh well.

It will be worth it right?
