Fall DETOX

Since Nov. 3^rd, I have been on a fall challenge. It is a fall detox with the local gym. You either have a choice of VEGAN or PALEO (Palaeolithic) diet. We are on a team of 2 and everyday we have a chance to get 30 pts, 20 pts for following the diet and 10 pts for working out one hour a day. I chose the paleo one..It is easy for me, I have cut off most bread, flour, rice, potatoes etc in my life since I feel very bloated when I have some....I have been really good except for the workout...I gave myself all kind of excuse,( and am listening), like I was going to do the workout on DVD, cardio Latino! I was all pumped for it. The day that I’ve decided that I was going to do it! The house got struck by lightning and the DVD got fried...I can take a hint! LOL This message was loud and clear, to the contrary of the message of why the lightning struck!!! No workout like that...Only 20 points each day. Then 2 days ago, I went away with a few co-worker...Go to the restaurant, eat Chinese....Chinese, well, you have to eat rice...I guess it is not just the rice...The beer would not help either! So minus 15 pts. Next day, nice meal, able to follow except for the wine part another -15 pts. OMG. I have to get back on track....Doing Pilates this morning, so I am gaining 10 pts plus following my diet 20 pts.....

The weighed in this morning showed that I almost let go of 3 pounds...So proud of me! Doing good. There is another week to go.

I was reading Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz‘s newsletter and she was saying the reason we gain weight is because we are not listening to our intuition behind our hunger, our boredom and our craving.... Hum, very interesting. That would be part of another blog.  I love when I can learn from my body.  This question is very often in my life and should be applied to everything that is happening...

”What is this telling me???”
