Days 15 - 17

1/19/2011 – day 15
Up and down.  And have been cheating!  Sorry, Masha, but I will clean up my act.  From now on – no cheating!  That raw chocolate was good once but unnecessary later.  I might be not ready for that strong stuff yet.  Also, my allergies came back with a super itchy skin.

There have been developments too.  I am cooking home a lot which is the key to success.  A resolution is to have not more than 2 meals out per week.  That’s it.  I feel satisfied cooking at home and enjoying my meals.  I am not bored, I don’t feel stressed out with food anymore.  And I get to use our beautiful dining table now.  J  Simple pleasures!  But life and happiness really consist of them. 




Also, a good progress with sport.  Had an absolutely amazing beach run/walk on a sunny Monday morning (a holiday).  That pure feeling of happiness and connectedness with nature was not possible for me for a while.  My Granny reminded me that I loved running when I was little and I remember it now so well.  So I am back into running and loving it again.  City college, or beach, or my neighborhood – lots of options to suit my schedule!  Played tennis with my friend and will try to keep playing at least once a week.  

No sauna or hot bath recently, so need to work on that. 

Discovery:  I realized that it’s much better to cheat and stay on diet vs. get of diet to plan a perfect start.  I always do the most damage when I do the latter.  So, yes, I will clean up my act, but I still feel good about my progress.

I did clean up my act, no more cheating, but boy oh boy I feel tired!  And I have no idea why – am I detoxing?  Paying for my recent cheatings?  Tired from daily exercise?  Tired of some supplement?  Ovulating?  All of these?  I guess all I can do is to keep going and wait till it passes.  

The only time I felt truly amazing (physically that is, emotionally I feel good all the time now), was last night taking a 1 hour warm bath.  I started hot, seating there, and then made it warm and laid down.  God, it felt great!  And all those great ideas started rushing into my head.

I don’t know what they put into that green powder but I feel like a bunny energizer this morning!  Which is very nice after dragging my feet for the last couple of days.  I should definitely drink this magic shake every single morning.  Hopefully there is no caffeine…  That would suck because I am trying to kick my caffeine habit and heal my adrenals. 

What else contributed to me feeling great this morning, besides the green drink?  I went to bed very early last night, at 9 pm.  And I didn’t cheat with caffeine and sugar.  Nothing motivates you more than seeing the fruits of your efforts.  I don’t crave anything and I am really enjoying my breakfast which is buckwheat with vegetables.  Such simple food, but it makes such a difference!
