I have been treading water for a couple of months now. For me, this lifestyle is not just about my weight, but energy as well as my mental and physical health. These things are all interconnected, though, and weight loss can sometimes be a decent gauge for progress.
I threw my scale away a few years ago and never looked back. Occasionally I see a scale, like when I went with my mother to her doctor’s appointments just before Thanksgiving and again just after the New Year, and I can’t help myself. I lost 4 pounds over the holidays. At first I was disappointed because I felt like I had trimmed down much more than that. I soon realized what an achievement it is though to lose any weight during the holiday season without feeling a bit deprived.
But in fact, I know I could have done better. And I think it is time to get back on the horse. I can start to see daylight with my cleansing process and I want to go all the way this time.
Right now I am juicing until late afternoon, raw until dinner which is great. I haven’t been as vigilant with my dinners as I was before the holiday season, though, miss-combining, eating cow ice cream or milk chocolate on occasion and drinking more wine than necessary.
So starting today I am doing the Rose Cleanse.
Yay!
I am feeling very excited about this and confidant, because I am ready!
Normally I will start a new phase like this with a short juice fast, but this time I ‘m going to work my way up to that, juice fasting until dinner and being smart again with my dinners. Then maybe in a couple of weeks after a colonic I’ll re-visit the idea of a short juice fast.
I’m posting my plan so that I will be accountable.
Here goes J
