Detox

So G and I fell off the weight-loss-wagon...big time.  We started eating dessert every night again , and I mean a lot of dessert.  Then take out foods like taco time and papa murphy's started to creep back in.  We both started to feel very sick. lol.  After eating way too much last Friday night, we looked at each other, and decided that it was time to get back to taking care of our poor, mistreated bodies. 

G came up with idea of just veggie soups and salads for dinner this week as a kind of detox.  I loved the idea health-wise, and it only took two hours to make meals for this week!!  Talk about a great idea! 

The crazy thing is that when Saturday came around we really wanted to eat that junk again.  We stayed strong and only ate home made things, but when Sunday came, we were both really craving sugar.  I even had a headache and a sick stomach for both Monday and Sunday, and completely felt like crap.  It wasn't until yesterday, Thursday, that I actually started to feel good again.  I have so much energy again, and it feels great! 

It was just a huge eye-opener to me.  Certain foods really and truly are addicting.  When I eat good food I feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically, and I need to remember that. 

In other news I have decided that I am going to do the half marathon even though my knee hasn't been feeling the greatest.  I am more than likely going to be walking most of it, and probably won't get a medal, but that's ok.  I also officially signed up for my very first triathlon.  I'm already both excited and scared.  I have only been doing running so far, but I did sign up for the rec center this week, and start spin classes and swimming next week.  Can't wait, and I'm soooooooo glad summer is FINALLY here so I can start training!!!  Hooray!!
~Happy running.  :)
