Post Detox Diet Musings

Well, I've finished the detox diet program!  I celebrated my progress by buying myself a new black leather purse - one that converts to a little backpack in order to save my back from more stress, and has a better chance of looking "fashionable" than my well-loved but decidedly LL Bean 'outdoorswoman' look backpack that I used during my medical education days.

On the last night of my program we had a lovely dinner at my sister-in-law's home, and she thoughtfully prepared a meal which would be easy for me to pick and choose what eat.   She did pass around a scrumptious-looking tart afterwards and an even more scrumptious-looking box of Lindt chocolates, but I must say I wasn't anxious to find out how I'll feel after indulging, so I gave them a skip.  I decided if I'm going to get a bit ill, I'll save the chocolates for my birthday.  Odd thinking, that.

I'm really excited to continue the weight loss and health-full-ness which has begun on this particular journey.  My healthcare practitioner suggested it would be worthwhile to continue with the diet as it seems to be benefiting me enormously healthwise - and I certainly like the way it is making less of me!
