Day 15-- Hello Week Three

This should be a challenging week.

First, weightloss stats seem inconclusive.  I lost less than half a pound this week, but my pants are fitting better.  I recognize my body in the mirror again which is a relief.  Still, I was hoping that by going all in with the detox I would see numbers on the scale I hadn't seen since pre-baby number one.  Because this isn't gimmicky, it makes sense that progress is slower, but I still worry that if I alter my diet a little bit after the 28 days, I will just gain back what I lost.

On the flip side, I rest assured that my diet is is absolutely as healthy as I can make it at this time.  No my meat is not grass fed, and not every single veggie I eat it organic, but most ARE organic, and I know I am getting the right nutrients and calories.  For once I can rest assured that I am not throwing junking up this body God so loving created.  I also don't feel like I am spending too much time obsessing about food and what I should be eating.   There are too many other things I need my brain to be working on.  Like how I'm going to get a shower in today.

The second challenge this week is I am starting the week three cleanse.  It's a liquid concentrate I dilute in 32 oz of water and drink over 2-4 hours during the day.  It's meant to clean out the "heavy metals" in my system.  Still not totally clear on it and will have to ask a few more questions on the facebook group.  It's supposed to be a "gentle cleanse"  but I'll keep you posted.  Maybe I will set up my first ever Twitter account to give you all real time bathroom play-by-plays.  Aren't you glad I have NO idea how to set up a Twitter account?

Third, this week we will be travelling and staying over one night.  Fortunately the shakes and fit chews will travel easily.  I plan on bringing olive oil and lemon juice to pour over salads and just try to stick with chicken and veggies.  It shouldn't be too bad.  Honestly, my biggest concern is the cleanse aspect.  I'm going to have to time it right so we aren't spending a lot of time stopping at gas stations on the way...
