Yuck.

Honestly? Truly? Yuck. These three days of "detox" have been yes, very good for me, but also, undeniably, not fun. Oh well. Rather than dwelling on all the negatives (and very probably passing up the opportunity for some funny stories!), I am movin' on.

Until this morning, I *was* thinking of the first three days as "pre-days" but this gives the impression that they don't really count. DH, OTOH, pointed out that they probably count more than all the others! So, I've decided to count them as an entire cycle, which is, surprisingly, quite psychologically motivating.

And NOW, I am on to Day 1 of the next cycle. One of the best things about these past three days is that, besides being good for my body, I am now in a place to totally and completely appreciate food, and not take even simple things for granted. Yes, I've been eating tons and feeling full, but it's been, well, pure. Lots of veggie juices, supplemented with lots of crunchy salads. If this time is anything like last time, my stir fried veggies and tofu tonight will taste like manna. This cycle has 28 days in it, and they are full of yummies that I am looking forward to making and eating...seared tuna over a salad of mixed greens, anyone?

I'm off to ice skating with the littles. This is getting in the way of my hooping class, which is a bummer. On the other hand, all the girls asked for for Christmas was ice skates. Since skating is on Thursdays, I guess it's time for me to look into some of the new hooping classes that have started around Rochester!

If the numbers are to be believed, I've dropped 5 pounds. I am skeptical of this, but, it's still motivating!

The best part? I'm not craving anything. Wow. Ok, still little cravings. But, really and truly, nothing unmanageable.
