I'm back :)

Sorry kiddos...BUT I have been working really hard and have a lot to dish.

My workouts are becoming more and more intense. I am upping the reps and weight load during my weight training, I've been attending crazy challenging spinning classes, and my swimming endurance has literally increased tenfold. I feel stronger each day, the inches lost is becoming very noticeable.

Speaking of noticeable, a friend at work found a picture of me from less than a year ago at a company picnic. Everyone that saw the picture was in complete shock. I was about 50 lbs heavier than I am now, and basically looked 8 months pregnant. Although my reaction would have been embarrassment a few months ago, today it was pure pride and hope. I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished thus far in terms of health and am so hopeful that I will reach my health goals.

In other news, I'm still eating mostly raw. Since I've been able to cut out my daily dose of Claritin, I can now consume grapefruit (which is fabulous!). Breakfast for the day was a grapefruit, a handful of blackberries (in season-and cheap!!), and a 1/4 c. of raw almonds. I had 2 Cuties oranges as snacks during the day. For lunch, I had a salad of cherry tomatoes, broccoli, red onion, and carrots that I actually got from my work cafeteria, and a banana. Dinner was the always delish chick pea salad. I also had a square of dark chocolate--99% cacao that is!

All in all, the experience is continuing quite nicely.

Happy detoxing :)
