When I stepped on the scale this morning, it was 120.0 pounds—the lowest it's been this entire process. However, the weight I've been recording is my weight at the end of the day, before I hop into bed.
Today, my last day of detox, I'm relieved that it's almost over, but a little weirded out by jumping back into my old diet. I've decided to use some of the foods and recipes I've used during detox and incorporate them into my regular life. I know better than to think I could always eat like this, but I also know it is possible, because I did it!
I have also realized that I don't have to rely on caffeine to get me going in the morning—a good night's sleep will do that for me. However, I will never stop drinking coffee. So I made a deal with myself: enjoy coffee in the mornings, but no soda at lunch, and no caffeine at dinner. Maybe then I can still enjoy a decent snooze.
The most frustrating thing I learned throughout this detox is that America's food industry really is screwing us over! I don't mean to get all hippie on you, but I'm still pissed at how many of the "fresh" foods at Whole Foods were full of salt and sugar. It's the same argument I have with Jason's Deli, Subway, McCallister's Deli, etc...you think you are eating healthy because it seems fresh and all, but you are eating more calories than a big mac. The only answer is to read the labels so you know exactly what you're eating.
Aside from generally feeling energized, I feel so light—probably because of all the water I've been drinking. But I've also noticed a change in my skin, very smooth and clear. Again, thanks to the water.
While I'm not planning on bingeing tomorrow, I am looking forward to some normalcy.
Hello world, I'm baaaaaack! My liver is quivering...watch out boys!
