Yesterday was so much better than all of last week combined. I ate tuna and salmon and felt a million times better. And I had hummus! And then a foodgasm. I actually made a hmmmmm noise. At least this whole deprivation thing makes me appreciate the small allowances that this detox provides me. I spent all of last night looking up detox-friendly seafood recipes and came up with some good ones. I was pinterest-ing like a mad woman. I actually made a grocery list for all my recipes and planned my meals for the week! I feel like Liz Lemon when she buys all those nufood prepackaged meals. Respawn!
I woke up refreshed and ready to hit the grocery store. This is where working at a nice grocery store comes in handy. The one tiny downside is that every time I go in just to shop, I can't just shop, I have to talk to everyone. If I don't talk to people then I feel like a bitch. But it's rarely a "hey, how's it goin?" It's a conversation. With conversing. A few people at Earthfare know that I'm detoxing so they ask me how it's going, which is very sweet, but I end up repeating myself a lot. It takes me twice as long to get my shopping done than if I went to another grocery store where no one cared about me. I know, terrible problems. But sometimes I just want to pop in for one thing and not have to have a mini-coffee date with everyone I know. Or maybe I'm imagining it and no one would care if I walked around not talking to anyone. When all is said and done, I'd much rather have polite chit chat than eat pink slime. Excuse me, lean finely texturized beef.
Consider investing in headphones :)
