It's the final day of my 10 day cleanse. I got on the scale this morning and to my surprise l had lost 10 1/2 lbs! I have done other cleanses before, but I have never had such good results. This made me ask myself two things..."What the hell have I been eating?" and "What is it that is making me fat?". Lets be honest, it could just be the booze. I do have a bit of a wine problem, but I was only trying to drink on weekends. Is it the gluten? I was gluten free the whole 10 days, which I am planning on sticking with. My best guess is that I had just been eating too much, not planning my meals and grabbing whatever was around.
Confession time. Let's just say that I'm not perfect. I did have a few discrepancies. First, I was using olive oil to cook most of my veggies. It made the meals much better. Most of them were quite yummy. The last two days I was feeling a bit disoriented. Yesterday I actually went to my Bikram class at the wrong time on the wrong day. I was having trouble with time management too. Something was off and I wasn't ok with it. I went and purchased some gluten free granola from Whole Foods and went to town on it. It was a bit of a binge situation, but honestly I felt much better today. Other than that, I stuck to the plan.
I am very happy with my results. I am planning on sticking as close to the cleanse diet as I can. I do plan on adding in lean meats and some complex carbs, but keeping it gluten free. I'm going to try to greatly limit my alcohol intake and dairy as well. I still have a few more pounds to go until I get to my goal weight. I will write up a summary of what I ate and the workouts I did during my cleanse soon.
It feels good to have made so much progress!
