Day 4 – I can still have a treat!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for stopping by on Day Four of my 28-day Detox Diet.

I had a lazy day at home with my little girls today, and it was bliss.  We had a long lie and then lounged around in our jammies all morning, snuggling on the couch and watching TV.  Thankfully, I wasn’t tempted by any TV snacks though!

I had my porridge and Redbush tea for breakfast, oat cakes with humous and fruit juice for a mid morning snack, and rice cakes with peanut butter and a green salad, followed by a nectarine for lunch.

Mid afternoon, I had a satsuma and a few mixed nuts for a snack.

Following my hubby’s huge faux pas on Thursday, we discussed how we would approach our weekly weekend treat this week.  We usually have a chinese takeaway after the girls are in bed on a Saturday.  Hubby thought we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our treat this week.  However, there are several options on the menu for me:

  • Vegetable Chow Mein
  • Satay Mixed Vegetable
  • Szechuen Style Mixed Vegetables
  • Kung Po Mixed Vegetables
  • Sweet and Sour Mixed Vegetables
  • Vegetable with Garlic and Black Bean Sauce
  • Vegetable Curry
  • Salt and Pepper Beancurd
  • Beancurd with Green Pepper and Blackbean Sauce
  • Szechuen Beancurd with Mandarin Sauce

In the end, I opted for Kung Po Mixed Vegetables, and I prepared my boiled brown rice while my husband went to collect the order.  The meal was delicious and it felt so good to enjoy a treat while still remaining on the diet.

Thanks for reading!
