NO MORE CELERY!!!

Let me start by saying if I ever decide to eat celery by itself ever again, shoot me. Yuck. Painful! This cleansing program isn't too bad, except the whole "no seasoning with salt" issue. But I must say, Mom did a spectacular job with dinner tonight making sure I don't have anything in my food that isn't on the cleansing program. The purpose of the cleansing program is to rid my body of starches, carbohydrates, and sugars. Fun Fun Fun! But I must say, I do feel full and energetic.

I walked a 5K this morning with my work.. it was a benefit for Sunshine, and I had to wheel one of my residents in the walk. It was a blast, and I felt really good afterwards! (That is, until a maintenance man tried to give me a plate of food filled with carbs, sugars, and starches. The apple crisp squares smelled DELICIOUS! :( But I didn't cave, I stayed strong with the help of a coworker!)

I have a good feeling about going in on Monday! :) I feel like I'm going to have more good results. Probably will have my best first week ever. This is going to work, I can feel it!

So the diet works like this: I am allowed to have a set amount of starches, veggies, fruits, yada yada yada per day. Then I also have 3 "nutrients" that I have to eat, which are in the form of yummy foods (this week's choices were chocolate marshmallow pudding, double chocolate crunch bars, and a flavored drink mix kindof like crystal light that you put in a water bottle and mix it in) throughout the day. The only downfall is the expense, but it's totally worth it! (And I was given a website by a guard mom to tell me how to get them cheaper.. hehehe)

Tomorrow is my last day of "cleansing", and I can't wait to eat normal food again. My major deprivation is ketchup. Especially with eating all red meat. :( Hamburgers just aren't the same without ketchup...
