continuing on

Well, here I go. It's been a little over two weeks since I finished my 21 day cleanse. Several things that I have noticed: I don't crave sweets the way I used to! This is a huge thing for me, and I'm so glad! I can eat just a little bit of something, and that satisfies my sweet tooth. I am determined to keep it this way. Another thing I've noticed is that my sleep is more productive for the most part. I sleep hard, and once up in the morning, I'm generally able to stay awake. Now I still have some tough days, but I've been dealing with a cold and travel. Also, I'm still at the beginning of this journey, so I won't be wonderful quite yet.  I've lost several pounds and I've been able to keep them off, and can definitely tell that my energy level is continuing to rise. For these things, I am so thankful! I can't wait to see what 2015 holds for me and my health!

I've come to see how important the mental decision and determination is in order to get healthier and stay that way. I just went to the store today to buy ingredients for over 20 meals, and was able to spend under $200 for all of that. I'm pretty proud of myself! I realize it all comes down to planning, and the great thing is that most of these meals are pretty healthy. I want to not only get myself healthy, but set a standard for my kids to make better choices when putting things in their bodies. Not that we don't have treats now and then, but overall we are going to be healthier.

So basically my next step is to continue on with taking these supplements, getting into an exercise routine, continuing to drink a ton of water, and then in a little less than three months take a blood test and a hair analysis to see where all my levels are. I can't wait to see what 2015 holds! Thanks for all the encouraging notes and prayers. I covet them. They have helped me more than anyone can know.
