Hello all! Well, it has been 22 days since I started. They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. So, I have a new habit, and I am proud of it. It only took me 21 days to form it, and I am now at day 22. I don't have the cravings that I used to, and I can't believe I have come this far. Really! I feel like I am going to be successful this time because I am being consistent. That is the key: Consistency. I realize that I can enjoy my treats once in a while, but not while I am in the cleansing and detox phase. That is ok because I am feeling terrific. I don't even know if I want to treat myself with goodies. I want to treat myself with pampering and new clothes (Like the new bra...LOL)!
Eating clean and whole foods has turned my life around for the better. I no longer have headaches or aches and pains in my body. It is truly amazing how different foods can make you feel. I realize I have said this all before and I am saying it again. You are what you eat!
I went to Zumba this morning, then later on today walked/jogged on my treadmill downstairs. It is vital that we get up and move! Even if it is just putting on some fun music and dancing around the house! The weather is starting to get better, so go out for a nice walk.
I took my son to see the movie "Hop" today. Very cute show! I am very excited to spend the entire week with him. He is at such a fun age and I love to hang out with him. He is such a smart and good boy, and definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me. The best day of my life was when I gave birth to him. He is the light of my life!
Now off to read more "Water for Elephants." I love this book. There is some strong language and sexual content, but still a good book. Can't wait for the movie to come out! That will be for a girl's night out! Who wants to join me? Serious....let me know! I love movie nights with my gal pals :)
