Success! I managed to go to my Aunt's 75th birthday party and NOT overeat! I ate a bunch of veggies, some fabulous fruit (mangos--yum!) and yes, I had some incredible crab dip and chicken wing dip (thank you to wonderful nieces and their recipes!)... but I indulged in more hummus than cheesey things. So...I have to say that my week of RESET worked. I wasn't even tempted by the cake. Now, I will admit that if the cake had been a really delectable dessert... say a flourless chocolate cake... or a cheesecake... I may have indulged! But a bakery cake? Not going to waste calories or get a sugar rush on that!
Interestingly... I did not feel as though I were depriving myself. The point of RESET is to act as a bridge to healthier eating--and it worked! It really isn't about willpower--but about getting off of the sugar highs...and lows that create that desire for more sugar--in the form of white pasta, bread, rice and yes, cakes and cookies too.
I am feeling more energetic, slimmer and more in control of my choices and I lost another pound and am going to the gym regularly... 10 pounds to go!
Join me on the path to becoming fit, fabulous and free! I believe in living life in crescendo... learning from each other, inspiring each other and growing together. Our light can shine brighter and bolder the more we acknowledge and connect to our innate joy!
