Day 8: Stats and Start Overs

I updated my stats in another post here

Woo Hoo!!! Week 1 is done and I, ultimately, did very well.

Even with the minor hiccup yesterday, I lost 5 lbs and a few inches here and there. I feel good and I'm growing spiritually through this first phase of the journey. This week I continue the Daniel Fast (ending date for that is 1/25/10). When the fasting stage is over I will be adding in more cardio workouts. For now I need to take it easy so I don't go passing out and all that silly stuff. Pilates all week, this week...

Also, I'm soooo glad I added whole grains and beans, nuts and legumes. I would have completely lost my mind otherwise. And... chocolate rice milk... love it.

I seriously miss drinking coffee... :(

Short-ish post today... I'm going to start updating at night from now on so the thoughts of the day are more fresh in my mind.

Day 6: Dying For a Sweet Fix

Day 5 was awesome... food was the last thing on my mind for most of the day. I spent the evening cutting hair at the warming center and had the best time.

Today I'm trying out a few new flavor options and adding in whole grains. I was flipping out and dreaming of Doritos so I went to Whole Foods and got whole grain crackers (ingredients: whole grain, salt) and whole wheat tortillas made with no honey or added weirdness... Guacamole never tasted so good as it did with the Whole Foods healthy version od Triscuits. Also, chocolate rice milk is a sweet salvation with no sweetener or bad stuff!!!

Today's entry is short and may be updated later. I've got to run to see Avatar @ IMAX 3D! it's gonna rock!
