I miss cheese.

Actually, the detox plan is overall going well.  I am feeling healthy and strong and sleeping well, which was the whole point.

I am realizing how rich cheese is, though, and how much I love it.  Last Thursday I made a pizza and put cheese on J's half.  Some sneaked onto my half.  I probably had, in all, one bite of cheese, and it was heavenly.  I think a side effect of the month of detox could be a decrease in the quantity of cheese consumption after January is over. 

And... while popcorn with butter is delicious, popcorn with olive oil is also delicious.

Today I ate:
Breakfast: coffee, cereal with blueberries and soy milk
Lunch:  veggie chili mac (my veggie chili, "tofutti" (a soy cream cheese substitute), and elbow macaroni... I made the chili too spicy over the weekend, and sour cream and cheese can really help out with that.  I had to find an alternative so we could finish the pot.  It's actually pretty good.
Afternoon snack:  almonds and green tea
Dinner:  Spaghetti squash saute (with chickpeas, tomatoes, and herbs) and a chocolate raspberry vegan cookie I baked over the weekend. Water.

Next goal for the week, more water.  My skin is super dry, and while the cold weather isn't going away anytime soon, the least I can do is combat it from the inside out.
