DAY 10.....already??!!!

Wow!  I can't believe I've really been on this cleanse, diet, lifestyle change, whatever you want to call it for 10 day's and I haven't thought once about cheating.....seriously!!  There is something wonderful about this that has changed the way my body & my mind think & crave foods.  On most diets I struggle to get thru the first week and can't WAIT till the 2nd week is over and if I've made it that far I feel it's time to reward myself and cheat.  Well, as most people know that cheat meal ends up turning into a cheat day or a cheat weekend and you've just screwed up everything you've worked so hard for in the last two weeks.  This 10 day cleanse has helped my body stop craving all the fatty foods I used to HAVE to have!  I would go to the grocery store and the candy, chips, and snacks, etc would drive me crazy.  I went yesterday to pick up our 2nd case of water for the week and it was only Wednesday (our family has never gone thru that much water) and I didn't take a second look at any of those foods.  It seemed natural for me to be buying the produce, and other healthy foods I had in my basket versus the prepackaged, fattening, unhealthy foods we all used to eat.  I know I need to try to expand our menu of the foods I cook just because I'm not used to cooking foods this way but I'm excited about that.  Like I said before, the most rewarding part of this is knowing I'm not only helping myself but helping my family!!  It doesn't hurt that I've lost 12lbs in these 10 days and I'm already down one pant size.  I took out a pair of pants this morning that I haven't worn in months because I refuse to be one of those women that lay down on the bed to zip up their pants and guess what.......they fit (and I was standing up) lol!!!  Looking forward to a great weekend with my guys because I know I am feeling happier and more energetic every day and we will have a great time no matter what we are doing!!
