Wow, What a busy day!

I woke up and had some carrots for breakfast/brunch. I didn't want to do the gym on an empty stomach.
I did my 8 Minute Ab DVD (I swear that thing is like soft porn).

At the gym, I did my usual routine. Today was "Back Day" meaning I focused on my back muscles. No legs as they are already muscular and get a good enough workout on the Aerobics I do. Today's routine was:
30 mins. on the Elliptical (Level 12, Crossramp 13)
Wrist Curls (3 sets of 10 @ 30 lbs.)
Side bends (3 sets of 12 @35lbs. - These are for the love handles)
Triceps Extension (3 sets of 10 @ 90lbs.)
Seated Row (3 sets of 10 @ 100lbs.)
30 mins. on the Treadmill (Incline 2.0, Speed 3.7)

After the gym, I stopped by Whole Foods so that I can stock up on my supplies to start my body "Detox"

Starting tomorrow and until the end of January, I am on a strict body Detox. No Sugar, no salt and only Organic food will be going into my body. Today I bought:

Calcium/Magnesium Vegaterian Suppliments
Liquid Flax Seed Oil (1 tsp. a day)
Organic Lemon Juice (one glass in the morning instead of coffee)
Unsweetened Organic Cranberry Juice (2 big glasses durng the day, better than plain old water)
Raw Organic Almonds (10 a day for that "necessary" fat.
14 lbs. of Free Range Organic Skinless and Boneless Chicken Breast.

Total cost: $226.35

Granted, the flaxseed oil, suppliments and some juice will be used longer than one week. Boy, eating Organic sure costs a lot. Now, I am not drinking the lemon water or the unsweetened Cranberry juice with something sweet. I am using an all natural sweetener called "Stevia Plus" also found at Whole Foods. I didn't buy any today because I already have a lot of it here and in work.

I have 2 reasons for detoxing my body (1. to help lose some weight and meet my 8% bodyfat loss in the first quarter of this year. and 2. to get rid of my cravings for all the bad sugars..grr the holidays..i gained *1* pound! ugh!

After shopping, I came home and took down all of the Christmas decorations and put the tree out. My place looks so empty and bare now. I vacuumed up all the pine needles too.
I ordered my Chicken Sa-Tay appitizer and Thai Iced Tea from Lannathai for dinner and now at 8:24 I can now relax and veg.
