One day away from double digits. This makes me happy and feel so empowered.
Today I watched the movie about Temple Grandin. Such an inspirational movie and moreover person.
What I loved most was the idea of every obstacle in your life just being like a new door to go through. I feel that way about this fast. This was a new door I opened and I am waiting to get through to the other side. I also loved the quote "different but not less." This is so applicable to many things we all face in life. I certainly feel a bit "different" given my health issues and even this fast makes me feel different than everyone else eating. But it is not any less than anyone else. In fact maybe it is more. More nutrients, more health benefits and definitely more energy.
Although my sleeping is not any better and I am tired at the end of the day I do feel like I have more clear energy and less fog. I am feeling pretty good. I have to say I think I could keep going for quite a long time and may even try to push it to 60 days. I will see how it goes.
I am still not sure if I am drinking too many smoothies or not. I am not seeing the scale move as much as it did in the beginning but then again due to medications that make me retain I am not sure I should judge by the scale. I do not feel hungry which is good but I do crave my smoothies and drink when I want one. I have not figured out if the wanting one is needing one or just simply a craving. I am not too worried about it yet it has only been 9 days and it's not like they are loaded with process junk.
I only have 12 more working days which is exciting. I am mostly anxious for being able to make fresh smoothies all day. I hate making them in the am and drinking them at lunch - just not the same. It will be so nice to have the option to drink when I want and always make it fresh.
Okay that is enough for my rant tonight. All in all a good day! Let's see what 10 brings!
