Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I had a lot of errands to run. I finally bought more maple syrup, which was a relief. I was worried I wasn't going to find any. I have been making my drinks 2 or 3 at a time instead of by the day and I think they taste better fresh. They also taste better because there is not extra lemon juice in them, which also makes them easier to drink. I went to the Phillies game last night and let me tell you it was so hard not to eat fries and soft pretzels and everything else around me. I did stay strong though. The best thing that has happened so far this weekend is I finally tried on the stack of jeans that I have not worn in months. The last time I tried them on, they were tight and I didn't feel comfortable sitting in them all day at work. Well, they all fit again! It was nice to have more options when dressing. Things just fit right again and I am really happy about that.
I slept in today, I really needed it. I have a busy week ahead of me. I am going to Detroit from work and I decided I will check my bag so I am able to bring all of my things with me in order to make lemonade. I can't stop drinking and just start eating normal foods out of nowhere. You have to wean yourself back onto regular eating with juice and homeade soup, then salad. It has been making me think about the foods I am going to begin eating next weekend. I think I am going to continue until around Friday, maybe start drinking orange juice Friday or Saturday. Next Friday would make 13 full days. I will see how I am feeling, I haven't made a final decision yet. But, I am excited to go food shopping for healthy food. I don't think I am going to drink the Senna leaf tea anymore. I know I said that before, but it woke me up at 4am, really hurting my stomach. I don't think I really need it anyway. I took nexium last night as well, I was getting my first bout of heartburn since starting. It wasn't really that bad and the nexium took it away.
It was great being able to relax this weekend, I hope it carries on through this week. Overall, I feel good. I still get a bit tired and want to eat everything under the sun, but I know I've come really far and I will definitely finish. Although most food seem appealing, I am very motivated to eat healthy once I am done. I won't cut out "bad" foods all the way, if I want stuffed shells I am going to eat them. I am just going to try to eat unhealthy foods in moderation. It feels too good to not be weighed down by preservatives and heavy amounts of carbohydrates. I hope everyone had a good weekend and has an even better week.
