19 days IN

Hey y'all!

So, doing well here - have had sort of another cold come up - is it detox?? Perhaps a wee bug that I've managed to pick up from one of my clients? I would think that my immune system is getting stronger so I wouldn't be as sensitive to these things, but perhaps because of the whole "tearing down and rebuilding (maybe not so much rebuilding quite yet)" effect, my immunity is somewhat lessened at the moment. Anyhow, still feeling better than I did yesterday - eeek? I actually ended up eating some bites of my daughter's tomato soup (not raw), thinking that if it is indeed, some sort of detox effects, then perhaps the soup would slow them down. So... woke up feeling much better this morning. But yes, yes, I know... I just procrastinate the inevitable in the search for ultimate cleanliness - no worries peeps!

Also, jumped on the scale this morning, and noticed that my weight number is down to 157!! Now, I'm not a huge weight-number-person, mind you, but it's nice to know that almost 20 lbs of stuff has been recycled by my body and that I don't have all that hanging on me, and I don't have to carry it around - makes one so endlessly exhausted!! Noticing that my clothes are starting to just feel looser, which is nice. Most importantly, I'm finding that I'm in better spirits overall and I have more energy to play with my girls - yay, and sigh of relief... aaaaahhhhhhh......

So just a little more than a week to go, I think, and I'll be complete with the 30 days. And thus begs the question: Will I continue with this for 60 or more? Will I take a break? Well, truth be told, breaks are difficult for me. It's that whole "all-or-nothing" mentality. Just my personality and I have to work with it, rather than trying to fit something else in there that doesn't work. Have to say though that I've had a few cravings popping up. Cooked potatoes, Indian food - just the high-carb stuff, me thinks. Finding that if I can just keep my caloric intake up that I should be fine. If I don't think about the cravings too much, I seem to manage to stave them off. But ya know? If I end up taking a break, I'm okay with that too, at the moment. We'll just have to see how I feel when the actual moment arrives.

Peas for peace... j.
