Hello Everyone still following,

Well Yesterday was day 11 and wow what a hectic day it was.  Things were a little busy to say the least.  I’m very sorry that I did not get to write for the 11th but I will include some things that I noticed from my day 11 as well as my day 12.   I still feel great and have great energy for work. We have been doing a cleanse for Brandy Jo’s clients and we have 17 people that signed up for this particular cleanse so that is a good amount.  Truth be known, I’m actually a little surprised it wasn’t bigger with it being the start of a New Year.  Brandy Jo and I get up and prepare all the food daily and needless to say that requires us to get up early to have all of our stuff prepared by 7:30 in the morning.  I have had great energy for the entire day.  From when we get started till about 8 in the evening we are at the office doing work.  I’m not complaining though. I’m grateful for all that we have and I really appreciate the people that choose to share their lives with us both at work and home.  It is the coolest thing ever to hear people say that they feel good again!!

Alright well yesterday was epic for me, I was wanting comfort food so bad!  I really struggled with it, especially towards dinner time. I was so ready  to eat anything and it seems like the worse it was for you, the more I wanted it, but I was able to refrain. Once I started eating, I realized that I really didn’t want that bad food at all, it was just an old habit I identified.  As I mentioned earlier Brandy Jo and I are busy with the cleanse stuff, so busy, in fact, that I let myself get to the starving point and I shouldn’t have. This feeling triggered the instinctive habit, which was to grab something quick and easy, which normally meant something really bad, and thats what  I was wanting… something really bad. However, like I said I ate and realized I didn’t want the bad food at all, I just wanted something.  I learned a valuable lesson last night ~ don’t let yourself get to the starving point! Make time to feed yourself something good before it gets to the “I want something bad” stage.  I got to the house and started eating my soup, reluctantly of course, because I was still thinking of all the bad things I wanted, but halfway through my meal I realized I honestly didn’t want that at all.  So if you are reading this and you are trying to figure out how to do something like this without cheating I would highly suggest making time for yourself and eat.  Take care of your body you only have the one life!!!   So that was a little about my 11th day.

Day 12 Awesome!!  I still have plenty of energy and Brandy Jo and I were in the Co-op shopping for the food that we will need for the cleansers tomorrow morning and it kind of hit me.  I couldn’t believe that I was thinking about introducing regular food back into my system, not necessarily bad food but just food back into my diet and I was a little nervous about it.  I was thinking and hoping when I do decide to eat something regular, is it going to change the way I feel?  I don’t want to lose the “feeling good” feeling.  Yes I know I’m going to eat something bad, and I’m sure I didn’t change my eating habits in 12 days but I can honestly say that I feel like I have had another break through.  Most of Brandy Jo’s clients that come in regularly know that I’ve made a decision to change my eating habits for good and that this 27 challenge is the start of something new.  This seems to always bring up the conversation of what I miss and don’t miss.  Something I loved prior to changing my eating habits was some Fried Chicken from Sandra Dees down here in Midtown.  Oh man they have some damn good fried chicken and I love it.  It’s truly authentic Southern Fried Chicken and I loved it!!!!!!  So it keeps coming up in conversation where everyones favorite place is.  You know after this day 27 I totally thought I wanted the fried chicken or the pizza but it seems like I have entered some debate with myself.  Is that really what I want??  I don’t know honestly and it’s weird because I’m sure in the past it would of been “hell yeah I want the fried chicken”.  I guess I will have to see when I get to that point and see what I end up doing.  I hope for those of you reading this still know that all this is coming from the heart, this is truly what I feel.  I do not try to hype anything up for you because if you choose to do this I’m sure you will have some of the same stories, but everyone is different and everyone will have to find out what works for them or what doesn’t.  This is just how it’s working for me and yes it really does take some effort on your part to make a change but I want it bad.

If you are reading this and you live close enough and want to make a change in your life I would suggest that you make an appointment with Brandy Jo,  again I’m not trying to sell anything here but she has changed the way I look at food entirely.  She has made me very aware.  Yes we are married and I’m sure some of you think this might be a biased statement, but everything that i’m doing now is because she enlightened me.  I have learned a lot from her and learn more everyday.  So if you are stuck or need motivation she is your lady.  She won’t do it for you but she will coach you through the change if you really want it, because it only works if you want to make a change and you are ready to do your part.

Well thats me for now.
