It's been a good week. I've lost about another 2 pounds which is exciting. It means that even though I have started adding foods back into my diet, my body is still able to detox. I didn't want to end the detox just because the 28 days were over, or just because I ran out of Arbonne products.
I'm still drinking my shakes in the morning and tea twice a day. This week I have added in corn, high glycemic fruit and pork. I did have a few bits of pasta, cheese, pie and alcohol. I have had no reactions, and am still losing weight. I am just so thrilled. I am feeling really confident about my ability to sustain this long term.
I am also in the process of changing some of my family's habits. Steve was inspired to add more protein to his breakfast because he was so hungry by 10am. Now the kids are eating some in the morning too.
I've also renewed my efforts to cut back the sugar in the kids food. I don't mind if they have the occasional piece of candy, but they don't need sugar in their bread, crackers, yogurt, and jelly. I've limited how much sugar they add to their oatmeal in the morning and started buying the fruit snacks that have fruit and fruit juice as the first ingredients. It's more expensive, and we are going to have to look at budget, but I'm sick of letting low prices lure me into feeding my kids junk. I decide what is healthy for them, not some huge corporation out to make money off of my family.
