Reset

Well, I'm finally on day 5 of my "reset" that I'm doing with my mom. For 5 days you drink 1 vitamin/protein shake per meal. Of course, it started out difficult. There are temptations everywhere! I tell you, you never actually realize how many food commercials are on TV until you go on a reset. On top of that, my sister happened to discover the hiding place of the leftover Halloween candy and left it sitting on the washing machine. When I went to do my laundry, it was just sitting there staring at me. I'll admit on that second day I had a moment of weakness and caved for five Swedish fish. Only to be followed by a pound of guilt, however. The rest of the week has gone by reasonably well. Besides the weight loss, I feel this sense of clarity that I didn't have before, as well as this newfound burst of energy. There are so many things I can focus on now without having to think about what I'm going to eat. Sounds almost funny that we actually dwell on what we're going to eat for lunch or dinner, but we do. I distinctly remember working out at the gym a few weeks ago, all the while thinking about what I wanted to eat afterwards!

So, here's me saying "I feel good"! Yay!
