Day 22! Reflections

I finally completed one full round of the 21 Day Sugar Detox, level 3. I lost 8 lbs total with moderate exercise. My clothes fits me better and I feel great. I can't believe how much energy I had. I've learned a lot about food and how diet can affect you. 

I look at these past 3 weeks as a steeping stone to the way I eat everyday. I know I'm not perfect and there will be days where I'll have "bad" foods but overall I'm more aware of what I'm putting into my body. 

I plan to introduce fruit back into my diet and also raw honey. 

Today's lunch was good and still part of the detox criteria...

Kale, tomatoes, bell peppers and chicken salad

I went to a heated yoga session and it was awesome! Good to be back at yoga. 

My first recipe from my new cookbook "Against All Grain" by Danielle Walker was the slow cooker orange chicken. I had it w/cauliflower rice (also from the cookbook) and green beans

It was really good. My non-paleo boyfriend ate te chicken too (but w/real rice). 

What a nice day to start my vacation!
