the detox plan, day 8 and 9

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.
