Well I am sure you guys are just hanging on wanting to know what happened with the cleanse! Okay so I got through day 7 and I knew that had to be the last day. I just really felt like if I kept going it would be a bad thing and I felt really good about doing 7 days. I knew that if I continued that I would get really burnt out of juicing and I didn't want that to happen.
On day 8, I continued to juice but then I had a healthy meal for dinner with my husband. What I have been doing, is a juice or green smoothie for breakfast and lunch and then a healthy meal for dinner. It is going great. I have been eating great. No sugar, sweets, white bread, etc. I have been watching my carbs and sugars. That seems to work well for me. I also have cut my portions almost in half. I only eat what i need to be eating. I stopped snacking because I was bored and I only have a healthy snack if I actually need it.
I am down 7 lbs and I think I am still heading in the right direction. Now that I am eating food I can begin seriously working out again, which is one of the main reasons that I stopped the cleanse. It has felt good to get back to the gym.
Anyways thanks so much for all of your support! I will keep you posted on my continued weight loss....fingers crossed. We have a Hawaii Trip coming up in March and I want to look great!!
Woo! No joke, I feel like portion control can do more than the gym, sometimes! Ryan is super good at making just the right amount of food for one serving for each of us, and I've been surprised how my weight has maintained even when I don't exercise regularly. It's hard to get out of the habit of stuffing myself till I'm full to the point of pain, but I love how I feel when I just eat enough to be satisfied. Temporary happiness or long-term happiness? Soo many gospel principles in taking care of our bodies, as I'm sure you've seen with your cleanse! [: It's so cool. Go Dani!
