I lost 4 pounds.

I’m thrilled. Beyond thrilled. My body is starting to remember what it takes to feel healthy after a week of eating well. No processed foods. Just simple whole foods that are filling and nutritious. I’m also learning that my body likes volume. Instead of trying to fill that volume with processed foods, etc., I’m using raw veggies.

Most people would think that I’d get tired of raw veggies, but I crave them. How often do you wake up craving a salad? When I was in college, a lot of time I’d eat a salad for breakfast. If that’s what my body is asking for in the morning, that’s what I’m eating. I add a poached egg on top and some fresh salsa.

Not every week is going to result in success and I’m not going to lose weight every week. I realized as I sit here writing this, that I’m okay not losing weight. Sure, that’s the ultimate goal, but in the end, I want my health and that knowledge is priceless.
