I was very worried last night about my first trip to a restaurant, but to describe the experience in one word - heaven. I wined and dined...well just dined at Restaurant Jezebel off of Congress in Austin. I was very fortunate that they had a vegan dish. Maybe it was the fact that it was the first restaurant food that I've had since I started this crazy cleanse, or it could have been the fact that the chef was amazing, but I swear that food was the best food I've ever had! I was able to get Risotto of seasonal veggies over brown rice, an all vegan dish, and it was wonderful! I also had a salad, no dressing and cheese. I am so blessed to live in Austin, where there are lots of places that offer Vegan friendly dishes! I swear, my stomach has shrunk though, as I finished about 2/3 of my meal and I was stuffed! So I give a shout out to Restaurant Jezebel for being the highlight of my week!
I feel like I'm on a role now and I am no longer craving meats and bread and dessert...ok, so maybe I'm still craving them, just not as much! I am, however, fresh out of any fruit I bought last week. On this cleanse, I've realized that I go through fruit and veggies super fast! I'm still waiting for Aaron to eat all the junk out of the fridge so I am not tempted to eat that cold pizza! Four more days until I get lean meats and eggs...can't wait!
Way to go! This is the cleanse we did and I plan to do it again in the spring. Just to encourage you it does it better! It becomes easier and you forget all the things you can't have! Also, make sure you eat plenty of food I saw what you had a couple of meals. You need to make sure you replace your food and give you body fuel to cleanse otherwise you will just be tired and low on energy. Stay strong!! Also if you want some recipes my friend blogged while they did the cleanse her blog is www.drcindyblog.com, its a little older posts so you may have to look for them.
ReplyDeleteHey Hannah, I actually researched lots of cleanses and decided on this one because of your blog. I have enjoyed reading Dr. Cindy's blog. She's got lots of great ideas! My cravings have subsided for sure! I'm so busy, however, I have trouble making some of the recipes that look so yummy, but hopefully this weekend I'll have a chance to try a few!
