Day 6

Today is day 6 of my overall 24 day challenge and day 6 of the first part which is a 10 day cleanse. How is it going???? Remarkable good. I am doing better then I actually thought I would. No cheating, WooHoo. That is huge for me because I always cheat on diets or whatever you want to call them. But not this time. The first three days were the hardest, the water, the fiber drink, the meal planning, the no milk, butter, sugar, bread etc... But once I got past all that I started to feel better. No more tiredness around that 2 pm in the afternoon I used to experience. More energy and my body just felt better. I did decide though that I needed to find some recipes to change things up so I didn't get bored. I suck at vegetables. Before the only ones I would eat were potatoes and corn and to be honest I'm not even sure you could classify those as vegetables. Now I am eating carrots, raw and cooked. Green beans if I make myself and green and red peppers in the right recipes. Fruits never did well either. I have a thing with textures or maybe its just in my head I don't really know but now I am eating apples, bananas and a few strawberries. Some other new foods I m eating are almonds, wild and brown rice, rice cakes, natural peanut butter, garbanzo beans. A few things I cant bring myself to eat are broccoli, fish, cauliflower, tomatoes in regular form.

 

A new snack I have been enjoying is a carmel corn rice cake with natural peanut butter and bananas. The picture above has caramel on it, I leave that off.

 

 

Here is a white chicken chili Yummo!

 

I have not weighed myself or remeasured myself yet. I wanted to give this a chance to work and honestly I didn't want to get disappointed if I didn't see immediate results. Now on to the the rest of the challenge.
