Success!

I made it through detox week and I am now 8.5 lbs lighter! The success I had this week was more than enough to keep me going. I am feeling like a rock star and more motivated than ever. Towards the end of detox week I was ready to quit, but now having seen the results of what my commitment can achieve I have the will power to keep going. 

In class this week we were given a whole list of foods we can now eat. The list consists of: veggies, fruits, fats, 1 serving of dairy, 1 serving of nuts, 3 oz of protein three times a day, and legumes. I am really looking forward to a having a salad with chicken which is the weirdest thing for me to look forward to because never in my life have I looked forward to veggies. Our new list of foods seems to be the greatest reward and yet I still can not consume carbohydrates. I suppose this is not the worst thing because after detox and now adding in more foods....I do not even miss them. 

Our new menu is something I must learn to love primarily because there are no upcoming changes to our food list for the next four weeks during week 6. Now that we are finally able to eat more we are also able to start working out. We are expected to continue our small strength exercises that we did during detox week; however, now we do it morning and night. My instructor also recommends that we get 30 minutes of cardio three times a week at the minimum, and she would like us to attend a fitness class that is offered at the country club where our class meets each Monday. 

Trying to stay motivated!

........but I hate working out
