Chips and Cheese Intervention

It's been a little while since my last post! I've had lots to say just not any time to say it! And now that I have a few minutes (taking a break from organizing our new office building) I can't really remember all the things I wanted to write about. I did come up with an idea though a few days ago I thought I would share. It came to me after a few too many days of eating and drinking, and eating and drinking, and drinking, and drinking. . . . I think I need a break from eating and drinking.  More or less I need an intervention from my chips and cheese addiction. :) I know my diet is already limited but I've been making horrible food choices lately (yes that is possible to do even when your gluten free) and frankly I've kind of felt like crap. Not the kind of crap I feel like when I eat gluten but just the lazy, 'I'd rather watch TV and eat chips and cheese then go for a walk' crap. I decided that starting Monday I'm going to do a 2 week detox type of diet. It's more my own concoction of a detox diet. I'm not a huge fan of the regular ones. While I do understand why people choose to do the detox diets, they aren't all healthy and they seem to be far too extreme. I'm not trying to magically drop a bunch of pounds or change my metabolism or anything, I just need a break from food. I am a huge proponent of taking the time to enjoy your food and of eating as much natural food as you can; neither of which I've done lately. To get myself back on track I'm thinking 2 weeks of almost only fruits and veggies, with some grilled chicken breasts mixed in. I'll either do an all natural cereal for breakfast or 2 eggs then only fruits, veggies, chicken the rest of the day. Of course I will need my coffee but I plan to limit myself to 1 SMALL cup in the morning before I leave the house. I know I have some social engagements coming up too, so instead of completely cutting out alcohol I plan to limit myself to 1 or 2 glasses of wine. I basically just need to get myself back into my groove of eating well and working out and for me, this seems like the best way to do it.  The more fruits and veggies I eat the more I crave them and, likewise, the more chips and cheese I eat the more I crave them, and crave them, and crave them. . .. seriously need an intervention. You should be impressed that am intervention-ing myself and not waiting for the chips and cheese police to take me away. Anyway, that's my plan, guess we will see how it goes!
