There's my Mom in the light blue shirt with my boot camp class! |
This week, I broke my juice fast and started eating solid food again. As I anticipated, some of the pounds came back on. But not all! I lost 13 during the cleanse and gained back 3. So a 10 pounds loss overall! I'm back to my partially raw food diet with a few treats here and there (I can't help having a few martinis when my mother is in town.) I also had some frozen yogurt yesterday with my children - a yummy Sunday tradition. Generally I'm feeling good and grounded after the cleanse. I become full a lot faster and I'm also more aware of the affect certain foods have on my system. For instance, I notice that bread makes me feel really good and high while I'm eating it and then horribly bloated and lethargic while I digest it. The cleanse has been a wonderful way to re-educate my body about the way food makes me feel. I hope it continues.
Pounds lost this week: 1
Total pounds lost: 63
