Clean Eating–Day Eight

IMG_1366So here I go into my second week. What do I want to change? What do I want to keep? Most of all…how do I feel?
Amazingly to me, I do feel good changes. I have noticed of the past couple of days that my body feels different, better, but not in a way that I can put a finger on. I’ve only dropped a couple of pounds at most, but parts of my body feel tighter, actually my butt and thighs. (The gut, I hear, is the last to go). I feel happier and giggle more than I had been. My energy seems to be coming back. I had my second cardio session and a weight session already this week. Basically I do feel better. Countering this, however, is fatigue(still). But at the same time I am totally ready to start setting down some goals for the coming week! I think there is a tendency to become complacent as a week is completed, yes? Accountability is a great motivator. So, tired or not, here I go!

  • I would like to get in 4 cardio sessions this week.
  • I’ve gotten off bread.  This week I’ll give up my Goddess dressing for some flax oil and lemon juice.
  • I want to show improvement in my blood tests, so I’m adding Lecithin granules to my shake.  Lecithin is said to help lower cholesterol(though this is not proven).  I think my endeavor is a good time to test this.  I’m also adding Red Yeast Rice supplements.  My vitamin person told me that this is the one supplement people have voiced proven results with.
  • Since I’m trying to cleanse and I need to get InTo a yoga class, I’m getting my butt to at least one Bikram class.  The sweat will cleanse and the experience will feed one really funny post!
  • I will come back from date night tomorrow without a hitch and get right back on my quest!

And really I am looking forward to being less tired and more alert.  I’m also looking forward to cheat night tomorrow night!  Gosh I’m excited!!!!!

This is funny!  I published this post and lifted it to Facebook with the statement “How do you all feel…”  Suddenly I realized something very important about this second week.  I am still very keen for this experience and I feel not a single molecule of fear creeping in!  This is phenomenal!  Yay!

Thanks for reading!

Bliss in the longing and peace in the journey.
