Day 20! Really? Already?
Today was more sunshine & butterflies. I woke up feeling happy, positive and refreshed. I have been sleeping much better since starting the cleanse. I heard that might happen and I was skeptical. One more good reason to keep going!

Everyone was still sleeping when I woke up, so I came downstairs, made the girls' lunch & snacks, had my hot lemon water...and while I was drinking that, I looked out the window and watched the sunrise while reflecting on how blessed I am to have such a wonderful network of family, friends and acquaintances who push me to be a better me. I have made great strides this month, not just in terms of my nutrition but also personally. I am calming down, becoming more aware of those around me, becoming more patient, and am appreciating those I love...much more now than I was before. My girls have noticed a positive change in mommy's attitude too. It's really an incredible feeling.
When I looked in the mirror this morning, bedhead and all, I was surprised and really very happy with the person I saw looking back at me. At first, I didn't quite recognize myself. My skin is looking smoother and my eyes are clearer & brighter. My body is looking leaner and much less jiggly. Best of all, though, is I look HAPPIER. You know when you can look at a person and even though they have a neutral expression on their face, you can still sense their mood? I could see happiness radiating from me. This, my friends, is HUGE.
Not a great eating day. I was REALLY hungry again (Insanity will do that). I had too much peanut butter and too many kale crisps so I need to make sure tomorrow is more balanced.
