Day 5

Woo Day number 5!

Hi again. Today is Day 5. When I started this detox I remember thinking that  I'd do it for 10 days and when it hit Day 5 I would be super excited. Those plans have changed but I am still excited! I am excited I am less hungry throughout the day and I am down 7 total pounds now! Another couple days and I will need a smaller jean size for sure. I love how I am inspiring people to change or at least sparking their interest to change. I have noticed some people really asking me questions about this. I have had only 1 person be the debby downer about it.  They made remarks "Just be careful. I mean are you actually eating? How is this healthy if you aren't eating?' I wanted to look at that person and beg them to do research, but instead I gave them all the information so they could go on their merry, skinny way ;) Hey skinny, fit, or underweight people can also do this detox if they want just 7 days to reboot their system and get healthier skin. This is seriously for all shapes and sizes.

Well, Nicole did it again. She broke something around the house. My room mate and boyfriend just love to fix everything I break and they do it with a smile. Notice my sarcasm. Apparently, you cannot wash off your juicer into the sink. The pieces or residue go into the garbage disposal and give the pipes a huge clog causing not only your sink to clog but also your washer :) Yikes. I am paying for it now for sure. I now have to juice and then clean everything in a bucket like I am living in the very early early ages of life when they did not have sinks. I then have to throw the water outside and rinse them again. Double work.

For snack at school, the kids had a blueberry muffin loaf. Some were bite sized. I was handing them out and OUT OF HABIT almost popped one into my mouth! I caught myself and chuckled because it was that, simply a habit. I am becoming so aware of habits I once had and now I notice them more and more everyday. I am breaking those habits and I couldn't be happier about it!

Today at school, a little girl of mine spilt a secret. She was giving me a large Hershey Kiss tomorrow for Valentines Day. YIKES. RED FLAG. SENSES ALERT. My favorite...chocolate. I will conquer it. Want to know how? I no longer have the sense of even wanting that chocolate. It does not phase me. Tomorrow at school we are having a big Valentines Day party. Most of the parents are coming but all of the parents are bringing treats in the morning. I'm talking cookies, cup cakes, candies, fruit, (hmm maybe I should being my juicer..just joshin), popcorn, finger sandwiches. Holy food. There will be so many temptations.I will simply help hand them out. I will simply receive my gifts and put them in my bag to take home. I will not eat them yet I will give them to my boyfriend to use as his carb backload. This is another diet we won't get in to. I will watch my children eat their treats and remember I had that chance when  I was that age. I had that but it was that, simply a treat. Not a meal and not a snack. I had that time and now I am on to healthier times now that I am older. Remember that meditation I mentioned earlier on the prep page? Well, this is a great example. This is how I meditate about situations as they are happening. I just tell myself I had that once and many times before and I do not need them again. I am healthy now.
