Today is the end of my first week of the 30 Day Challenge!! My only cheat was a bit of raw honey in the chocolate orange custard I made for Valentine's dinner last night. Truly. Amazing. And I am not just talking about the dessert! It is amazing that I haven't had any wine, sugar, brown rice, black beans, quinoa and the likes since that is what I have been subsisting on for the past 10 years! Patting myself on the back.
Today was one of the most challenging days. I got together with 7 girlfriends for a potluck to talk about a wine fest weekend we have coming up (yes, this will be a full on cheat weekend). There was a lot of great food, everyone brought wine and even chocolate brownies. Skip the brownies? Sure, no problem. Skip the wine? Oh hell, I wanted that wine so bad I could nearly taste it! I must have will power of steel to have resisted that wine!
At the end of week one on the full challenge but actually on day 15 eating this way, I am down 9 lbs. N I N E lbs!! Wow! I realize that my body was initially in shock and a lot of this is water weight but I will take it!
I made a great crock pot recipe that I will post tomorrow.
