Earlier in the week I was emotionally stressed, to the point that I had to go to the doctor because I was breaking out on my arms and legs...like hives but not hives but itchy. Strange. Anywho, all better and just surrendering to the fact that some people are cowards when it comes to relationships/friendships, ending them or mending them. But, to each his own. I have the right people in my life and I know that. Thank God for those that are real with me.
Detox is actually going great. It's the best part of my week, yep I said it. And I think it's because it's one thing I have control of. I altered my intake a little to allow for some dairy and good grains (though I haven't had any since none exist in my house right now) but I'm still going strong on the no sugar, no alcohol and no processed foods. I've run out of food at my house and don't know what I'll do for dinner tomorrow, but prepping for lunch and snacks for tomorrow was speedy this time. It is getting better. I was just letting little life stresses test me and try and throw me off my path. Not today!!!
I've never eaten so much chicken or strawberries in my whole life. I'm not a veggie lover so I stick with a lot of fruits. I'm fruited out, but at the store this weekend, I'll try some new things and definitely have a better idea of how much food to buy so I'm not scrounging for more at the end of the week.
My true test will come when I travel to Houston the first weekend in May. I don't know how I'll prep food for that, but I'm sure by then, I'll have it all figured out, mapped out, or whatever I need to do to stay successful for the remainder of my 21 days.
So far, just four days in, I've seen a change in my sleep. I'm sleeping better and hop out of bed when the alarm goes off in the morning, which is doing its job of waking me, which means I'm sleeping all the way to when the alarm is going off...see, great sleep. My body is a bit broken from workouts. I am having some serious calf cramps after tonight's workout so I took my first ice bath, BRRRRR!!! My shoulder has also been troublesome for a few months now, but I finally made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to get it checked out. Hope it isn't serious, but it is giving me pain when I lift, which sucks because I love to lift.
Staying the course, living and learning and choosing to have a better, more positive attitude when it comes to personal struggles...those are my goals moving into the weekend and next week.
