My journey back to health

Yesterday, I started a five day detox created by Dr. Fuhrman. I did pretty well. There was a lot of food, so I felt satisfied. The chewing was good for me too. I have not spent that much time actually sitting and eating in a while! I am so thankful to my friend, Carrie who introduced me to Eat To Live this summer. I have not followed the plan consistently, but I have changed a lot of the way that I think. Since school started in August, I have already lost 10 pounds due to increased activity and changes in my food selections. For a few weeks, I have walked 5 to 10 miles. I will maintain and increase my level of activity. Yesterday, I parked the car and walked with my children to feed the ducks. It felt great outside. Later that evening, instead of driving to my mama's house, I walked and then walked back home. Building in little things like this is going to help me so much. This past weekend, I camped with my daughter. I ate some major junkfood and came back weighing more. I weighed 186 the evening I returned (Sunday, October 8th). Last night I weighed 181. I am not sure about how weight fluctuates (water weight, time of weighing, etc.) but I am excited to be closer to the 170's. My goal is to get down to 140 lbs. I know I can do it. It is a matter of truly engaging in the process and the 5 day detox is a great kickoff for me!
On to day #2....
