Today I am back on track. Over the weekend I indeed had my pizza (home made and whole wheat, mind you) and pie (store bought, key lime, very good but next time I will make it myself). I meant to go back to the regime on Sunday but what's a girl to do if there are leftovers? So today I made sure I was extra well behaved. I had rice crackers with guacamole, baby spinach and sliced red bell pepper for lunch and I felt very righteous in doing so.
One side effect of this dramatic change in my eating habits has been a clear indication that my body is undergoing a purge. I keep breaking out in itchy little red rashes on my back and arms, I have hot flashes, and I have moments of "spicy" temperament. My mom, who knows of these things better than I, says that it is my liver flushing out toxins. Having experienced similar symptoms while doing an herbal cleanse, I can confidently agree and look forward to a shiny happy liver soon enough.
I wish that the past ten days had had more of an effect on my weight so I could at least feel like I have had a good head start. It is strange, I look like I am losing weight (yay!) but the scale says that I have gained 6 lbs. I don't get it. I will post the official numbers in a couple of days on Weigh-in Wednesday.
I am now going to curl up on the couch to watch Julie and Julia. I get a kick out of the fact that she is making and eating insanely fattening food and blogging about it while I am making and eating healthy low fat food and blogging about it. Plus the movie just makes me feel good.
