So, I've lost about 8 pounds - which is awesome!
But more than that, I feel more in control of my eating habits. All the starchy, sugary carbs I was craving & ate in great quantity - I feel like I can resist them now. Mainly because I'm feeling pretty good about how my body is humming along. I'm rehydrated. I've cleared the crap outta my system and I'm ready to reboot on Insanity!
I ran for 3 miles on the last morning of the cleanse. That worked out well, I just was extra hungry after my salad dinner so I added a large banana at the end of the night.
So yeah, definitely worthwhile. Hard as I was working to train myself to not use food as a reward for a job well done. And I know my sugar and salt and fat and general nastiness cravings aren't gone forever, but mentally I know I can work through them. And that's HUGE!
Feelin' good! Ready to hit training for the Tough Mudder with full force! Combining an "easier" half marathon running plan with Insanity and eating good, nourishing food is gonna do it! Whoo-hoo!
