Two Weeks and Two Pounds (1/15/14)


Lovely Friend,

   I am two weeks in to my detox journey and I am still plugging strong!  Does this mean that I haven’t cheated, actually no, BUT it does mean that the cheats did not totally derail me!  Normal, I am a one cheat and done kind of girl, but as I explained in my previous post, I am taking this change thing hardcore.  Week 2 of my detox is always the hardest for me, and this proved to be no different.  My two cheats have been totally devouring a Wendy’s #1 (no tomatoes and no onion), which killed my stomach, and eating some mushroom soup covered porkchops and scalloped potatoes at my mom’s house.  I am so proud of myself for picking right back up at the next meal and starting again clean.

  Something else about this detox thus far is that I have only lost about two pounds!  I know what you must be thinking, “Why are you still doing the diet, then?”  or “Are you kidding me, all that work for only two pounds?”  The old me would totally agree with you and would have called you up and invited you to Shakey’s!  But this new me, this girl that I am still learning how to become; this girl knows that one pound of healthy weight loss a week is totally worth it!  This girl, she knows that the way that her body feels is superior and that the food is working from the inside out.  She is no longer obsessed with numbers, but rather with the quality of nutrition that she is providing to her starving body!

  I am glad that I have started this detox journey and I am so motivated to have the opportunity to teach my daughter about food in the way that it should be taught! She will learn how to really cook.  She will learn what nutrients are available in what foods.  She will learn how to make the temple that God has given her the best that it can be for Him.  And hopefully, one day she will thank her Momma!

Giving it my all,
Jess
