this has been a serious roller coaster, but now, we've got it! thanks to everyone for their support, now the fun [hard] part starts as we begin renovations. 

detox diet.

we're done. we decided 5 days was enough. ive stayed steady at having lost 10lbs.

yesterday was the same menu as always, but for dinner we decided it was time for a little dressing on our salads to celebrate the end.  and wow, salad dressing [even the fat free kind] is amazingly rich in flavors! ive definitely got a new appreciation for the taste of food now. 

however, we're not totally abandoning this idea of eating healthier. we intend to stay on a healthier foods diet for the foreseeable future. yes, we'll incorporate some of those foods we gave up back in, but in much more moderation than before. we've got a general plan for how we're going to take it from here on out, and we're excited about the prospects of incorporating real food into our diets again! :]

so thats really all i have to report for now. today is the first non-raw foods diet day, and im actually excited about eating lunch again. this morning i even made some egg beaters for breakfast and they were delicious! ive definitely noticed that im eating a lot less, so thats good. i think the detox was good for minimizing my appetite a little. yesterday we worked out as usual and we ran a full 1.25miles without stopping, so that felt pretty good. and then last night we watched the debate - and i think it was finally a decent one. they actually talked specifics about the issues for once.

well yall, i gotta get to work now, just wanted to share our excitement!

miss you all!
