Day 5 - cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater

Day 5 Observations:

I cheated - I knew I wasn't supposed to but I did. I couldn't help myself. Not with bad food, mind you, but with the scale. The rules say no weighing until day 10 - the end of your cleanse. But I couldn't help myself. I told my inside self that no matter what the number I was, I was going to be happy because 1.) it had only been four full days and how much weight loss can one really except? 2.) I only had worked out twice in that time frame and 3.) I couldn't be disappointed because I was feeling so full of energy that THAT really was the best part of this so far, not the number on that scale. So I stepped on and waited for those flashing numbers to stop - and low and behold I lost 4 lbs!!! I couldn't believable it. It took me 3, yes, 3 months to lose 3-4 lbs. and that was with exercising my BUTT off. I know (or think) this might be a lot of water weight (thanks to the no salt), as well as the cleanse cleaning all the crud out of my system but still - I am very pleased. It makes the next 19 days not seem as daunting knowing that IT IS WORKING! Oh- and my husband decided to join me...But more on that tomorrow...
