End of week two. Detox has become routine. The key to my success in sticking to the routine is preparation and planning--not an earth shattering insight, but the truth. On the days in which I prepared my food the night before it was easier to follow the program and I spent less time that day thinking about what I was going to eat.
The problem is that the routine is, in a word, boring. Although I am not hungry, and don't feel temptation at every turn (literally since we live in a country where every second storefront seems to be selling felafel, sushi, burgers, or ice cream), I am bored. There are only so many ways that one can make whole basmati rice and black rice noodles interesting.
So I have been fantasizing. Not about ice cream, but about a nice piece of broiled salmon. Or a salad with a vegetable of color (sounds like a new minority group). I'm not even fantasizng about bread, but about some gluten free alternatives.
I am looking forward to my meeting with the naturopath on Thursday when she will instruct me on the next phase of reintroducing various foods into my detoxed and purified digestive system.
In the meantime, I will continue my exercise program which I started at Curves this week. I managed to go the recommended 3 times and was pleased that I finally got myself started in an exercise program. During the intake I was told that my body fat was problematic, but I think I already knew that. A busy week ahead, but I will make sure to work it into the schedule at least 3 times. It felt good to sweat due to something other than a heat flash.
Not that I am counting--oh, who am I kidding, of course I am--I have lost 5 Kilos!!!
