I've officially lost 5 pounds!
I feel so superficial when I announce how much I've lost. But whatever.. it's my weight loss and it feels good! And it's not like I'm doing it in an unhealthy way. I've gone 7 days with NO sugar. That's something to celebrate by itself.
Today was my first day back to school after 14+ years. The last time I sat in a classroom was at a Community College up north where I failed every class the first semester. It was directly after high school (big mistake), and I didn't take it seriously.
It went really well. I got to my classes on time and I even brought snacks with me (since I only have 8 minutes between each class, and I have to walk to different buildings in that time). I brought pumpkin seeds, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and a yellow pepper. Thankfully today is the only crazy day with all 3 classes back-to-back.
I've noticed that the detox isn't really a 'diet' (for lack of a better word), it's become a way of life for me. I don't crave the food that my family is eating, I don't want to binge on McDonalds (BIG one for me.. I love their fries). I'm ok with just eating to live. Not eating to fill a void of time, or to join me while watching TV. Or doing homework! If I had started school before this detox I would be constantly munching on something. I've already done about 4 hours worth of work tonight.. I don't even want to think of the empty calories I would have consumed.
I'm giving myself a big ole pat on the back.. and being thankful that I have people in my life that recognize the changes and successes going on here in my little life. :)
