Day 10 ~ double digits, 1/3 of the way there!
I would like to start by saying that all of the positive feedback you all are giving me is helping me TREMENDOUSLY with my cleanse.
Thank you SO MUCH!
I do have my mental struggles each day where I want to have chocolate, or Starbucks, or a muffin, or bread...or even just have some of what my girls are having. But, I have been able to overcome those urges, which for me is pretty awesome. Like I posted on my Facebook page yesterday, I really wish I had done this last year. It really could have saved me almost an entire year of frustration, anger, overwhelming feelings and guilt...all of that over something as simple as eating.

I feel good today!! Not as sore as I have been...and it's even better that today is my glorious rest day from Insanity. Do you know what that means? I completed my first entire week of Insanity!!! SWEET!! I opted to do a 10 minute stretch from TurboFire and some biceps/triceps/chest with dumbbells. Ouch, that didn't last long. I am somewhat nervous about losing some of my muscle during this intense cardio program, but hopefully my body will regulate with less soreness in a few weeks so I can add in some upper body weights too.
Bonus today: I wore a pair of jeans that I have not worn since 2009!

ReplyDeleteI never thought of lentils as a breakfast food, but that all sounded so good. I may have to try it!
