It's soooo cold! Brrr!

It's day 15 today of my own detox plan that I worked out for myself. I've had juices, smoothies, bananas, and soup broths. I'm feeling much better, have definitely lost some weight as my clothes are looser, and feel much happier with my eating choices. I'm back to my workouts at the gym plus running as well, and feeling like I'm finally on the path to getting stronger and leaner and lighter.

I'm finding myself craving veggies  now and I think that starting today I may do juices/smoothies all day and include a salad and veggie meal for supper. My plan this time was most importantly, to listen to my body, and secondly, to complete 35 days of just pure veggie type unprocessed foods and no added condiments. A reset and a detox. I've never done anything like this before, because before I'd be all strict and force myself to just juice and then I'd crash and burn and fall right back into junk before I knew it. This time, I'm being smart and knowing myself, knowing my obsessive-compulsive, addictive, all-or-nothing personality, have set what I believe are better guidelines for myself.
It took me awhile to get to that point because it seems to be common belief in the juicing and rebooting community that there is only 1 way to reboot and that is strictly juice-only. Yet there is not only 1 right way to do something, in fact I've come to believe that there are as many ways to get healthy and lose weight as there are people in this world; that everyone has to find their own way and that no 1 way works best for everyone. As soon as i accepted that, I realized there was a lot I could do to find my own path.

Anyway, it is bitterly cold here in Canada right now, -30 this morning and -33 windchill, and it's been pretty much -30 to -20 all week, supposed to warm up next week, thank goodness! I've been going running anyway, just bundling myself right up until I look like a frost-covered mummy out there!
But I am happy to be done school and am on the hunt for a company to apprentice me in the electrical trade. So far I am only working part time in my warehousing job, but it's really nice to be done school for sure.
