First off, while getting doughnuts yesterday and today for my class that I teach, I could hardly stand the smell of them!! They smelled incredibly overwhelmingly sweet!! It almost made me nauseous! Just a couple of weeks ago I could wolf down a couple of these bad boys, but I was so turned off by the smell I had no desire at all to eat any! I cannot believe how incredible my will power has been here lately! With my position I literally have junky food staring me down all day long! I should have gotten a picture to show you!! I set up my tables for my training class with chips, candy, cookies or doughnuts, and then some fruit as well, all down the center of it. I look at it all day long!! But not once, since starting my detox, have I had an urge to grab something!
Then today at work I bought lunch for the group. Good 'ol friend chicken with 2 sides. I drank my shake like a good girl, and it did not bother me one bit. I never once found my self going, oh man I wish I could have that too....I enjoyed my shake, felt full, and was ready to keep going. My mind is slowly shifting towards thinking of food as fuel, and not as a way to cope, or reward my self. It's crazy how much I'm learning about what my body truly needs and wants, and listening to it is so rewarding!
Now I didn't get to work out today like I wanted to do so. The pressure in the air must be changing because my back and neck are pretty sore this evening. This is something I have really learned over time is that I need to listen to my body. There is a point of pushing, but the over doing it and making it worse. I think it's coming up time for another massage :-) Time to reward my body for all it's hard work and everything I have been putting it through! Now that's a reward not food!
We have our first cheat day coming up. Technically it's suppose to be next Monday, but we're doing it Friday since we actually have a day off together. We're planning on heading up to Estes Park! All Josh wants is a burger from our favorite burger place, Baba's burgers. They really are good! But while we're up there, we're going to try to go for a hike if it isn't too snowy. If it is, we'll just end up wondering around the town and enjoying each other's company. I cannot wait!
Another note, another strange thing I noticed about my body....When I bend over my fat rolls are different....Such a weird statement I know!! But it's true! My fat is folding weird hahaha. I think it's a good thing! So crazy to notice all these little changes going on!
Anyways I'm going to leave you with this recipe! It turned out so amazing!! I cannot take the credit for this one though. I found it on Pinterest!! So I'll show my picture and give you the link to it!!
