Clean & Lean Day One (a.k.a. the first post)

The detox has begun. Not a milligram of sugar or hint of a carbohydrate has passed these lips today, instead it's been eggs, spinach, water, green veg, salmon, cucumber, chicken and then some more green veg and spinach. And some green tea. Green may very well be the word of the day and so far I kind of like it.

Admittedly I'm much hungrier than usual at 11pm (currently taking an insane amount of will power not to hit the jelly babies....one wouldn't hurt....would it?), I've had a headache all day, and the lack of sugar has made me snappy and unable to concentrate. But in a strange way I can feel it's working. I didn't have my usual 3 o'clock Dairy Milk craving and I've drunk more water than I thought physically possible. So that's two immediate plus points in a sea of spinach and energy deprived detox doom.   

I think it's important to point out that I'm not doing this for weight loss. It's all about looking and feeling healthier in the bright eyed, glossy haired, glowing skin sense. It's also about breaking some very bad sugar binge habits I've picked up since I started working full time rather than bumming around in sweats watching Grey's Anatomy (ah student life). 

So one day down, 13 to go....and apparently the second is always the hardest. Wish me luck!
