Well, its a good thing that 8 is my favorite number. Because this past week {my third} on the Nutrisystem Women’s SUCCESS Select Plan I hit my first plateau. Didn’t think it would happen quite this fast, but I’m pretty sure I know the culprit. I decided to detox! Great idea, and I feel much better. But I won’t advise doing it two days before weigh-in day. {LOL}
So with that, my little ticker will remain the same this week. And what a week it was! I’m getting used to smaller portion sizes and I didn’t feel like eating much. I can’t believe its such challenge to maintain eating {right} all day long. Also, I thought that paring back my espresso was making me more lethargic {and it may have} but now I know the truth. I spent last week in the clutches of sugar withdrawl!
Overall, I’ve been doing really well. And I find it a great challenge to learn more about tracking my daily intakes, drink more water {always a challenge}, and start walking more each day. I even blend my daily jolt of coffee into my smoothies. But I hit a slump in energy that made me as lethargic as a sloth. Lets just say that its a good thing that breathing is involuntary. Because despite the caffeine, I was so exhausted!
So when life found me standing in front of an ionic foot-bath booth at a Women’s Expo this past weekend – the light came on! I just needed to detox! The whole event was pretty cool and promised a “full-body” detox. “Drink your water” the host suggested as I hobbled off with fresh feet a 1/2 hour later. And I felt so good afterwards! The headache and muscle aches were gone – even my sprained ankle benefited from my soaking respite.
Flash forward a full 64-oz of water later and I was 3.5lbs heavier and sporting some spectacular water retention. I was right, my body did need that detox. But in the future I’m going to try to doing things like that a tad more cautiously. That said, it took about 2-3 days to drink enough water for my body to heal itself. And the sugar withdrawal symptoms seemed to ease up as well as I started the new week.
In the end I had to laugh. I was looking for a good way to inspire me to drink more water. Just goes to show you that the Universe does conspire to make things happen for you. See you next week!
