Day -7 One Week in!

Seven days!
The cleanse is almost over, friends! I've got 3 more days and then.. the MAX phase, (which I am VERY excited about!!) The weight will just be melting off me, you'll see!
Today was a very laid back kind of day, I went to the pool and did my own version of water aerobics. I wonder what people must have thought watching me swim in place in 3 feet of water? I really don't care, I had fun. I did lots of kicks and knee lifts, and side steps,  and some under water marching. I am as happy as if I were in my right mind. :) Very low impact. Our pool here also has water aerobic classes, I am planning on checking those out.
I am really starting to notice that my tummy is toning up and I feel really energized and great about the changes that I'm making to my eating. It's coming more naturally to me to say no to overly processed foods and choose better options. My husband and I went to the store together and he had chosen a few things where I had to say.."no, I have to have whole grain, for the cleanse,that's not good for me" and he's being really supportive, even though he made the boo-boo face. (thanks, honey, I'll make it up to you, somehow.. :P and not with pie.)
Lifestyle change. That's what this is. I was ready. I am so happy that I found a way to do this without feeling like I'm missing out on anything. It really has nothing to do with willpower. It has everything to do with reaching that level within yourself that says, I'm done with feeling like this. I've decided to treat myself to a massage this week. I deserve it!  I checked my blood sugar and it was down from 190 last week, to (drumroll) 123 after fasting this morning when I woke up. A few weeks ago, I hadn't been under 130 waking up! Complex carbohydrates and whole foods are my new bestest friends! Tomorrow I wake to more fiber drink.. day 8, I'm gonna kick your butt!
