Interesting Find

Well it has been one week since I've set off on my trek up this mountain of mine, along this journey I've noticed a few interesting things.

Day 1 - I had no trouble except to stomach tuna from a can without any mayo! I've discovered that there is no possible way I can stomach that and I refuse to eat it. So my plan is to substitute chicken for it instead.

Days 2 & 3 - I had a headache and felt out of sorts if that makes any sense. I have read that it was me coming off of refined sugars, caffeine and diet sodas. Now what in the world was I doing to my body that would have me detoxing....boy makes one think doesn't it?

Day 4 - I had been feeling great and by weeks end I had a ton more energy and even read in Tosca's book that when you feel run down, that is when you need to get out and exercise. I made it all 5 days to the gym and the trick to it is to decide at the start of the day that you are going to go. When you make it part of your day, you find that you don't go through the feelings of "oh, I just don't feel like it" I have never regretted going and feel energized afterward.

Some other interesting things I've learned this week is that I did not crave sugar or soda AT ALL!!! now that is a miracle! I used to crave those items everyday....honestly, I just didn't think about it. I was full most of the time and never felt deprived. Pat says that when he puts his hand on me at night that I feel warmer...perhaps it is because I'm burning fat! Is that cool or what. He said to that my skin is smoother too...that I think comes from being hydrated property for once.

So over in all I am looking forward and staying the course...the journey is not over so keep me in your prayers!

Thanks,
Kim
