So I had my first weigh-in today since I've started the program. Last week, I only focused on the cleanse portion of the BR program. I started out last week at 155.8 lbs. and today I weighed in at 149.6 lbs! I feel like that is a little too much to lose in a week, but I followed the program very closely so I guess I'll take it. I already feel a little smaller :) Now to work on endurance.
As for the meal plan, I can have SUGAR again!!! And bread!!! And pasta!!! The recipes actually sound really good. For breakfast this morning, I had oatmeal. I know what you are thinking.."Ohhhhh, oatmeal! Yeah!!" Well. let me tell you, this was no ordinary oatmeal. I cooked down some apples in a sauce pan with cinnamon, water, and maple syrup. I also toasted some chopped pecans. After mixing the oatmeal and goodies together, I drizzled some maple syrup on it (about 1 tsp). After not having sugar for a week, it was the most freaking amazing oatmeal I have ever eaten. And it was meal-plan approved. I feel like my tastebuds got a reboot because everything tastes MUCH sweeter.
I'm just focusing on taking one step at a time right now. The end goal seems a little too overwhelming at the moment. I have a pizza that my husband brought home in the refrigerator that taunts me every time I go in there. From my favorite local pizza place. I can do this. I bypassed it today for some salad. Small victories. I heard a saying that goes, "Every day, you are either working toward health or toward disease". I think this will be my mantra.
Life is good.

.You should check out the following smart phone apps. 1) lose it. 2) my fitness pal. You put in your current weight and then type in your goal weight and it will calculate the amount of calories you need to eat in a day in order to lose anywhere from .5 to 2 lbs per week (you chose how much you would like to lose per week) They both have great food "dictionaries" so you can look up the nutritional values for almost any food and it also has a bar code scanner so you can find info on store bought foods that do not include nutritional info on the food label! it keeps track of your calorie intakes and logs excersise (the more you excersise,the more you get to eat!) The best part is.......It's FREE! calories in < calories out is the only proven way :) Kara R.
