End of week One

A week of letting go of all of those foods that I thought I couldn't live without and how do I feel you ask? I've never felt better!

Here's is what I have done for the week so you get an idea:

No sugar (Okay, well in the wine yes, it's the one thing I won't give up)

No dairy, no meat, chicken, fish etc

No junk

I take a tablespoon of progressive greens with 1/2 oz POM juice /1 oz water every morning when I wake up. This helps to make the body more alkaline which is what our body needs.

While my husband enjoys his coffee I have hot water with lemon ( 2 or more a day )

4 large glasses of water before lunch time and at least 4 in the afternoon.

I have a handful (9) of almonds one in the am one in the late afternoon.

I eat an apple a day.

I have been following the principles in the book- The Lean by Kelly Freston. This book has inspired my desire to change and has helped me maintain my focus.

The rest of my food consumption is filled with healthy choices.

What have I learned this week?


Would you believe me if I told you that I have had not one single craving this week? I have not felt like I've been deprived of anything. I realize that with my blood sugar stable, and by eating regularly I no longer give in to the impulse cravings that I once had, I just don't get them.
My skin is glowing and the bloated feeling is going away! One week! All you ladies out there will appreciate it when I say there is a hormone shift that affects me once a month for a few days... I reach for chocolate and chips etc. We will see how this next week goes and I'll let you know!
 One thing I have learned is that when you mention a vegan diet and meditation in one conversation it is hard for some to take so I'll just keep that for my blog instead.

Feeling great! I hope you are too!
