I have finally finished the end of my second detox and I am full of mixed emotions about it.
First of all, this past week has been HARD. Between the craziness of the move, the traveling, and not having a kitchen to be able to make food that wasn't salad, it has been so difficult and frustrating. For every meal, Joe and I were scrambling and trying to find something that was actually detox approved. I didn't have a terrible time with cravings but I got annoyed that the food that is easy and conveniently offered is NOT healthy (an even bigger eye opener that most Americans, myself included, eat like crap because it's so easy to do so).
Secondly, with everything going on, I had to cut back on the running and working out simply because I didn't have time. So, I didn't get the results that I wanted. The last time I weighed myself was almost a week ago and I was five pounds down, so who knows if I lost more since then.
On top of it all, it was not a perfect detox (I'm going to be completely honest with you guys). I stuck with the food but did indulge in a few beers this past weekend. After two and a half years of being stuck in the desert and in the middle of nowhere, I felt a little celebration was earned and deserved! The truth? I definitely enjoyed them but felt like crap the next day (and I promise, I did not drink a lot). I felt bloated and like it wasn't really worth it. Goodness gracious... Am I getting old?!? Probably. But, I am preferring the way that I feel when I stay away from all of the bad stuff.
The good? Well, I didn't gain, managed to lose a bit more to get towards my goal, and my clothes are fitting a lot looser. I also think that if I wasn't on the detox in the middle of all of this craziness, I would have immediately gone for the pizza and burgers that were easily accessible. I also think that because of the healthy choices, I've had the energy to get through this craziness.
I am still not anywhere near where I want to be but I feel like the more honest I am here, the more accountable I am! So, here are the pics! (Don't judge too harshly! It is SO hard sharing these pics!)

And, that's it from me for right now! It's vacation time and my goal is to have fun and still make healthy choices. Lots of changes are in store for our little family and I can't wait to keep you posted. Until then...
