A Week Ago Today....

One week ago from today, I started a 21 Day Cleanse. I'm on a team at work to change our eating habits and get healthy. Our team decided to start out with a 21 day cleanse. Now, this means no sugar, soda, coffee, alcohol or carbs. Well, I'm off soda, coffee and alcohol (LOL, never been on coffee and alcohol, and it's been almost a year without soda). So, basically I just had to change my eating habits.

The menu consists of water, veggies, fruits, and white meat. Sound yummy? I'm so not creative with food, so right now I've been having a lot of the same things over and over, so I need to do some more reading to find good recipes. But so far, it seems to be working.

The first 2 days were so hard! I was always hungry and going to the bathroom (TMI??) . It's all that water going through me, and I guess that's what a cleanse is. Anyway, after the first couple of days, I'm in a routine and it's working, so far. I basically eat every 2 hours (the snacks are veggies or fruit) and then I have my meat for lunch or dinner.

Anyway, I may seem crabby for awhile until I get through this, but I know it'll be good. The going without sugar is probably the hardest thing. If you know me, you know how much I love sugar!!!! But, I'll be good....for now ;)

Now, I just need motivation to go the gym, that's the hard part!

Michelle,
That's great that you are going for the health of it...
I love the Bee Happy gifts you made for your grandma, but I couldn't see them well enough to steal your idea... darn it!
Going without sugar is definitely a mountain for me. Glad you have buddies at work.
