And I really really really want some sweets! I blew it a bit by having some salad dressing that contained a bit of sugar on my plain old salad for lunch. It drove my taste buds nuts. I have put a bit of organic maple syrup on my boring steel cut oats so I don't gag and had to take Aleve and Motrin yesterday (along with a trip to the chiropractor) to deal with my poor back pain that I have had for over a week. Just two more days. Tomorrow DH and I have a date night planned so I'll try the Jodi cleanse and add a little red wine to the mix I haven't felt an energy crash from my diet. In fact, with the lack of sleep I have been getting due to my early early risers (today was another 430am compliments of DH needing to catch a flight) I think the pure diet has only helped me feel more energized. Good news, I am at my goal weight. Next I need to throw in some exercise that I haven't done since July to see if I can maintain it with a little muscle tone back on my flabby body!


Off to drink some green tea as my body is feeling the afternoon caffeine withdrawals...

You're so almost there! Remind of which one you're doing again? I think I'm going to try one this month

recleanse Same stuff Jodi got. I had to order it from a place in Canada so it took a couple weeks to get to me. I haven't felt really bad just HOT but it has been HOT outside. The first day giving up the sugars and carbs was tough. I thought I'd be BM central (I know...TMI...) because one of the pills is a "colon cleanse" but nothing out of normal daily stuff and considering all the fruit and veggies I am eating. We don't eat this way so being on the go and not having fruit, veggies or some plain or meat on hand...we'll I guess I could have packed a little cooler but I don't really eat that way, so it has been hard and I just let myself get starving and then grill up a piece of chicken and make some veggies when I get home. I like that I can eat meats, eggs, plain organic yogurts...and have ONE cup of coffee a day. I know I haven't gone all organic, free range and cheated with a couple sweeteners and then my two doses of pain medication, but for me, that was five days more of "pure" than my body could ever handle!

Sarah, do you feel like the foods you've been eating will be something you stick with at all?

After doing WW and South Beach I can tell I have really changed how I eat and TRY to feed my family (they still resist and prefer crap) so I know I am going to seek out more organic foods and whole foods than before. I got lazy and just picked up veggies from the local grocery store which has a very small selection of organic foods when I could have gone to Trader Joes and gotten it all. I do want to use the chiropractor more because I felt SO MUCH better after he adjusted me when the Aleve wasn't working and I want to check out Massage Envy for a montly program. I might start to like coffee black...but for now I am drinking it out of necessity. LOL. I feel like my sinuses, breathing, just overall how my head works...feels more alive if YKWIM?? Ok, baby up from her 2.5 hour nap. Playtime over

Have you had to take the plunger into the washroom with you????

I am just going once a day...yesterday twice but nothing the day before that...nothing too terrible yet. Makes me wonder if I am over toxed or had none!

Good for you, Sarah!

Great job!! You're almost there!
