This week is not really worth reporting. I for sure thought I would be back in the 70's, I was pleasantly surprised to see I had lost .3 so, that is better then a gain. I actually got to my smallest in 3 years this week, 166.4 on thursday. Wed I was 166.6, lol. But Then I was out of town Friday and Saturday, so I didn't do so well. I think it was Sunday's make up that brought me back down to 169 and actually having a loss for the week!!!

Any who, lets see...anything good in my journal for the week....Oh yeah. I already posted it on facebook, but Monday, Sarah, Ellie and I were driving along on the freeway, when bam, a car enters freeway, some how lost control, it rocked, spined, and then rolled a few times. Had I not reacted quickly, we would have hit them, which most likely would have resulted in pushing them as they were on their side. Luckily for us and them, we missed them by inches, allowing the car to flip to a halt. The couple crawled out. Passenger just fine, driver had bloody knuckles and possible broken finger! Crazy! Our car angels were with us that night!!!

This week I read, Detox for Women, by Natalia Rose. Good read!!! I am going to start the 30 day detox on April 5th when we return from Texas. I'll take before photos and measurements to share.

One thing I learned from her book, which makes so much sense to me, is, our body has yeast, and bad bacteria mulitply through out our life from our diets. Starch and sugar, bad carbs, white flour, processed foods, stuff like that, feed the yeast and bacteria, hence the reason our body craves for starch and sugar weather we know it or not.

I've said it a dozen time, but may I repeat, my journey started out as weight loss and now it is about health. During my journey I have come to realize that food is an addiction too!!! No wonder it has been so hard for me! I would never give a smoker trying to quit, one cigarette on the weekends, cause he did so good that week. It would totally ruin him and the ugly addiction sticks around longer! sigh....I am really hoping I can stick to the 30 day detox the best I can. Not to give into one day because I had been so good. For sure once I get passed these 30 days, and kick my addiction to food, then sure I'll have my days here and there, but do my best to eat clean the rest of the week, my life! I once heard, it takes 21 days to break a habit, 1 day to start one!

I've deiced it is pointless for me to get to a BMI of 24 as  I desire, if my insides are still at a  BMI of 30 and above! Losing weight, and looking good, goes beyond just that, it includes being healthy, feeling healthy, looking healthy. I hope I can get to that point someday!!!


PS. I do have fun pictures to post, I just need to get them transferred from camera to computer, so, fun photos of Elle to come....
