[runjanerun]

okey doke

way too much over indulging of late



anyone care to join me in a detox- the plan is for two weeks(and i will continue longer if i go ok)

My detox is: (sandra cabot's liver cleanse)

no processed foods-(just been making my carrot celery and beetroot juice)

NO COKE ZERO(this will be the hardest thing for me)

NO ALCOHOL(2ND hardest)

NO chips etc

NO red meat or dairy(tabs to supplement) this is no biggie as im slightly intololerant to some dairy products



just lots of healthy unprocessed foods(also made wholemeal banana and walnut mini muffins as a snack)



lunch was toast with hummus lettuce tomato and cucumber



kinda getting ready today-the big start is tomorrow-just went shopping for LOTS and :LOTS of stuff( i think i saw Stu shaking his head a few times

all sorts of fun stuff -aloe juice, livatone tabs, LSA, lotsa vegies oh and a juicer! i really do spend a LOT of money



so who's up for it? or am i going solo(ive done it a few times before and feel very very good-after the initial 3 days of feeling crappy

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok RJR sounds good to me but I can't cut out dairy, as a vego once that's out of my diet I am pretty much Vegan which is just one step too far for me.



Can I still play?



After my two week rest after Trailwalker I am embarking on my winter training program and despite protestations to the contrary I do need to lose a Kg or two (mostly thanks to post TW over indulgence and easter pigging out) and was going to clean up my diet this week anyway.



So for me

Dairy still in

NO pastries, muffins or any other sweet bakery treats (my weakness!)

NO white flour or rice

NO added sugars

NO wine or vodka (Ok or any other alcohol)

NO chocolate or lollies or soft drink

NO processed food

NO coffee or black tea



No meat in my diet anyway apart from fish, the first two weeks and last two weeks of the Cabot liver cleanse allow tuna and salmon so I won't abstain.



Starting tomorrow

[runmickrun]

Yeah - starting next monday



No crap food

No alcohol (tough)

No processed food

1 serve of lean red meat per week only

No choccy or other sugary treats

No soft drink (even zero)



Yeah - lots of good wholemeal pasta, vegies, and tuna.



Tasty.

And as self defeating as it probably is I shall have to finish off an easter egg tonight, because opened chocolate on my house won't last two weeks!

LOL



im having my last wine tonight (for a while) as I am startin tomorrow



i am also doing the

no white/refined flour/sugar



so mine sounds pretty similar to Ems(bar the dairy)-cheese is a REAL weakness of mine-never drink milk- will be having rice milk-which is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay nicer than soy milk by the way

Of course you could always let the OH eat the egg for you!!!

[runjanerun]

Hey guys-how is everyone going??



day one and day two have gone pretty smoothly-no gross headaches like last time yet!!!

and amazingly not craving the coke zero too badly-woohoo

[John's Running On]

Im starting right now



*No more take away food( i.e: the red rooster chips i had today)

*No more chocolate( tough decision this one)

*No more smoking( easy as i never started smoking )

*No more unhealthy snacks(i.e: potato chips,lollies)

*No more soft drink( having already given up alcohol, this should be easy)

*No BAKERY!!!! (i wont even go into a bakery from now on)

*No added sugars/colour/flavouring



That should do for now. Im sure ive forgotten something . I think i can do it, well, i have to do it i feel. I can only get so far on a poor diet of kfc and chocolate

No more Nutrigrain for breakfast either John, time to switch to weet-bix or porridge



I am doing OK but I would murder someone for a long black

[runningrupert]

I'll help you all out with this detox thingy... just send all the choolate, coffee, alcohol and red meat my way (maybe not the smokes and Maccas).



Seriously... a good healthy diet and everthing in moderation is the way to go.... then you can have a little divergence now and again and it doesn't do too much harm.... Sheesh...

[runjanerun]

where is that damn wagon-cos i slipped off yesterday

i suck

food wise-all is good. i had a few wines last night, couldnt resist when we had a friend come over

have already lost 0.5kg which is pleasing.

kjust gotta stick to the alcohol thing9and meeting a gf for 'drinks' tomorrow doesnt bode well

[ajh]

You do not suck!



If one or two things slip, then just think of all the other improvements that didn't slip.



And, think of how much better you are than, say me, who hasn't done anything ! And I know if it was me doing it, it would be the wine that would be the first to go too!

[runjanerun]

thanks matey

John, from now on you may have to join Rupert and myself and order muesli & fruit juice instead of your usual pancakes with bacon/ chocolate milk shake combo for breakfast after our Sat long runs ....

I had an espresso yesterday, it was either that or kill someone so it was an easy decision in the end



Now in a rather saintly fashion I am snacking on almonds and dried apricots

[mightypieboy]

I think you're all mad



One of the reasons I do so much exercise is so I can indulge in all the wonderful things that life has to offer............ caffeine, saturated fats, highly refined sugar based products.



I think I might go and have a deep-fried bacon and cheese donut and a coke.

[tiger boy]

MPB - don't start without me. I'm coming over for tea - I'll bring the chocolate cake with lots of cream on it

[runjanerun]

my detox went by the bye this weekend... i WILL get back on track tomorrow



race day was never going to be detox day

and well sunday just cpntinued



a midweek detox is still better than nothing



oh and i had coke zero today and yesterda...and OMG it was well enjoyed

[Beki]

I started this about three weeks ago, went really well the first two weeks (apart from the skull splitting headaches) but have slipped somewhat the last week or so. Time to get back on the wagon now.



Managed to drop 3.5kg so far

[RogerK]

Late last year there was a thread about what we would do this year to improve, I said I would try to give up junk food. Well I think my biscuit and cake eating has reached new levels this year, while my chocolate consumption has been keeping a few people in a job at Cadburys and the hotcross bun marathon from February to April was a huge success with buns eaten pretty much daily.



I don't think I am at fault though. If they didn't produce this products I wouldn't be able to put them in my mouth. What can I DO?

[John's Running On]

An afternoon of eating fruit, muesli bars and sultanas has me feeling a million dollars.....except from the fact that after a tough day at work my running plans have turned to dust. Losing the struggle to stay awake. Oh well, theres always tomorrow.



I feel im doing quite well, its taking time, but im slowly cutting the bad things from my daily diet. Now i just have to make sure im able to use that extra energy gained by running, instead of working so hard

[runjanerun]

ughghghhg

feeling very flat and lethargic-maybe im actually starting to detox-foodwise have been sticking during the week-although slight indiscretion last night whilst out for dinner-but i didnt have any wine though..and have stuck to the NO ZERO(which i am really wanting at the moment)

[Clarkey]

Probably best if I stay away from this one......



So I'll just wish everyone good luck & close the door quietly on my way out....
