Daniel Plan Day 1 of Detox - Just Kill me Now

No, not really - I just thought I grab your attention.  However, I really don't feel like myself and it might not be the Daniel Plan and instead,  new medication which I started today.

I went to Hackman's last night for the Daniel Plan Program and really enjoyed working with a small group of ladies from the area, we got to know each other and prayed for each other.  When we were in the large group we watched a video from Rick Warren and others.  Today we were to start the detox.  That's no grains and dairy, since they are the ones that cause the most inflammation and in addition to that no alcohol and no caffeine.  So as I sit here and sip my second cup of green tea dozing off, I can tell you I miss my coffee.

Today wasn't my day though, I started with a smoothie.  Memo to self - do not freeze the banana - I had the world thickest, almond milk, hemp seed, chia seed, protein powder, raspberry, banana smoothie know to man.  I had to microwave it to drink it.

Secondly, we went out for breakfast around noon.  I had a garden omelet-- forgot to tell the waitress no green peppers so I ended up picking them out of my omelet.  You cannot imagine how many green peppers are in an omelet until you pick them all out.

And lastly, today is my mom's 80th Birthday and as a tradition we go out to the Chinese Buffet.  I tried to stick with veggies and protein, but most of it was either drenched in sauce or butter.  I did eat a few things I shouldn't have but I skipped the annual donut ball for dessert.

So, it's around 7pm and I am as tired as dirt and could probably sleep for the rest of the night.  My eye is twitching, my knee hurts, which means so much for the new medication.  Tomorrow will be another day.  Oh yeah, we have breakfast at church tomorrow, but that's ok - I can have eggs......I will bring my green tea bag.  So here's to raising my cup for a better day tomorrow.  I'll let you know how it goes.
