I haven’t had a chance to post over the course of the past few days, but I am still on track. I have been very conscious about what I put into my body, although I still have room for improvement.  I am proud about how I have been doing, and would love lots of encouragement (and a partner to do it with..Hint! Hint! Hubby!!)

I was debating doing a “cleanse” diet. I was going to do Dr. Ian Smith’s diet, or Dr. Joel Furhman’s. Both call for a period of eliminating lots of foods at least initially. While I could do that, I am trying to stay in this for the long haul, therefore, I think it’s important that I structure my life and eating in a way that I can maintain. So maybe later, when I have maintained good eating habits for a while, I can venture into a cleansing type of eating pattern.

I still have a long way to go when it comes to exercise. I haven’t done any! Part of that is that I’ve been caring for my very busy 16 month old while on vacation. And frankly, going for a walk with him does not motivate him. He’s going through a whiny rambunctious stage, and I like to relax while walking…not entertain a toddler. Yes, I am working on my attitude in this regard. My thought for the week has been, “maybe having one child wouldn’t be so bad…”

So, that’s my update. Oh, and “my auntie” is visiting, so I won’t be weighing myself until she leaves…

That’s all.
