LAST DAY!
Well, sort of...
Total weight lost is over 20 lbs. However, I still have a ways to go for complete health.
This week has had it's ups and downs, but overall we are super grateful for everyone and everything in our lives. On Tuesday, 15 tornadoes touched down in the DFW area, one of which jumped my office building. We also lost another house we bid on this week. To say that there was some stress in our lives this week is an understatement. That filtered through in some of our food consumption choices, but overall we kept with the plan.
Yesterday, we went kayaking for the first time. One of the best experiences of my life, hands down. We are sunburnt and sore, but I can't wait to give it a go again.
Britni is at 187.6 lbs., and losing out on the latest house has been hard for her as well. I am crazy proud of her though, and can't wait for us to continue this journey together.
Stay tuned for before and after pics :)

Day 41-Ang
Day: 41
Days left: 5
Weight: 239.4 lbs.
Weight lost: 18.6 lbs.
Good Monday to you all.
First, I need to admit that I did not weigh myself this morning, so I am using the same stats I had on Friday. There was a bit of a slip this weekend, that may or may not have involved a piece of coconut creme cake, that gave me a bit of guilt as I stared down the scale. I will suck it up and get an accurate weight first thing tomorrow.
And as for the slip, lets just say the stress of the house hunt got the better of us. Face it, carbs increase feel good endorphins, and there are plenty of carbs in desert. This back track made me feel terrible though...both in terms of the aforementioned guilt and physically. Even today, after an intense spinning session, my face and gut is bloated and I think less clearly. This diet is definitely going to stick around post-Easter, especially if going back to pre-detox eating habits will make me feel like complete crap.
Britni composed my meals for today, being a good wife and all ;) For breakfast I had a grapefruit and a whole bunch of blackberries. Lunch was a spinach and green bell pepper salad with some raw almonds. I had an orange and some remaining almonds as a snack. Dinner was the infamous chickpea salad.
As it's the last 5 days of our initial journey, I'm hoping to kick both the diet and the exercise in high gear.
Keep on reading...you won't be disappointed!
