The first time I went shopping for the Daniel Plan it took four hours. I had to go to three stores, and it cost me over $200. I just went shopping for the second round yesterday. Two stores, an hour and a half, and $75.
Yep, I had some leftover spices and nuts. And I did shop for a fewer amount of days. And I did pick out what I was going to eat this time from the Core Menu (did you know that they allow fruit after the detox? I was actually excited about fruit salad! Fruit salad? What is wrong with me?) But, this Daniel Plan - when you don't eat exactly what they have for every day and follow their crazy shopping list - seems doable.
In fact, I'm kind of excited about the next ten days. There are even deserts included - well, if you count fruit with cinnamon as a desert. It was a little weird though. I actually thought about how fat I was going to get if I ate whole wheat bread or why in the world I would buy chocolate chips. 21 days ago, I would have eaten a bag of chocolate chips on the way home from Aldi and ordered the bread bowl at Panera - I think I actually did that.
There was even a point at Aldi's yesterday when I saw a good price on salmon.....AND I GOT TWO! I knew I would use it! How crazy is that? (I just love the salmon and celery thing!)
Now, to be honest, the really healthy turkey was $6.99 / pound and Carolina was $2.99 - guess which one I got! And I didn't buy cage free eggs. Oooooooh! I know - bad person. But, I am starting to tailor this Daniel Plan to a new lifestyle.
Yes, I do look forward to tomorrow at 3am when I have to get a Slurpee to celebrate the birth of my daughter, and I can't wait until Easter. But, after Easter I can totally see 90%, 10%.
So, we start the next ten days of eating Core Menu. Then, ten days of using their list of foods you should eat almost always. Then, a day of gorging myself. Then, dare I say it, Daniel Plan for life!
