5 pounds...whoop...whoop

{This never got posted last night so finishing it up today!}

Tonight ends my 3 day juice cleanse!

The reason I chose 3 days is because I thought 

I would never be able to do it and would never last.

Well I proved myself wrong. It was way easier then I thought.

Well the prep of making all the juices was time consuming 

but other then that easy! I never craved for a thing.

It wasn't hard for me to make meals for the family and not eat it.

I even went to bunco last night and didn't eat a single snack.

I think most of my eating habits are just it is there and I can eat it if I want to.

I don't need to eat it but I can so I will.

I need to break away from that.

Just because there is a piece of garlic bread left from dinner

doesn't mean I have to eat it. It can either get thrown away

or stored in the fridge. 

I don't have to lick, taste, nibble and

eat because it is in front me.

I am a live to eat instead of an eat to live.

I ready to change that around and this has proved I can do it.

The only "side effect" I had from cleansing I was 

cold all the time and I did go to bed last night and wake up this morning with a head ache.

For the next few days I am going to eat only fruits and veggies

and homemade dressings that are dairy free.

We will see how that goes. As I have said before the more options

I have the harder  it is for me to stay on track. I don't want to stray back

to just eating anything I want just because I can.

Today {Thursday} I am starting my first day of juicing and a little eating.
I had my juice around 8:30 am and then around 11 I started getting hungry.
I am slowing eating some cut up potatoes that were baked in olive oil
last night. Usually when I eat I eat really fast but now I find myself taking a bite
and feeling satisfied. I don't need to have the next bite ready to shovel in.
This is all so new and not normal for me.
I feel I have already created some new habits of the good.
I went and cleaned up my pinterest boards this morning.
I didn't crave a single thing I pinned and had no problems deleting old ones.
I am at this point scared of following back into my old ways if I give myself
an inch. We will see. I will keep updating and not make this my everyday topic.
In the three days I juiced I lost 5 pounds which is a great jump start on the 25
I would like to lose! I plan to stick with this plan for another two weeks!
I will also be continuing to run 3 days a week. On the days before I run I will
eat some cooked veggies or a veggie only salad to help fuel up for this!
