I'm Done: But Not Really...

I finished my reboot. I rewarded myself with a bottle of wine and Coconut Turtle Ice Cream lol (I know defeats the purpose, but I worked hard at it, so a little indulgence is ok).

As I started incorporating things into my diet again, I didn't notice too much difference in my body reaction. Dairy was fine, sugar was fine, gluten was fine until I had a slice of white bread, and I didn't feel "gross" but my body was soooo gassy after (TMI I know). I mean I'm a gassy person anyways, I burp all the time, but this was a little extra gas, if you know what I'm saying. So needless to say I don't think anything really "ales" my body, but there are a few things I could stand doing without.

Now that I can have these things, I realize I don't really need or want them. Mac and Cheese, eh. String cheese, I've had a few this week, but I could live without them. I have lived 30 days without so many things, that I can easily go another 30 days, and maybe another after that, however, knowing that if I want to "treat" myself to something I can -- all within moderation.

I am looking forward to the next steps...which is really just continuing living like this, eating cleaner and healthier. I have also signed up for a pole class. Yes, that kind of pole. But the work out that my body gets is awesome! I will be the first to tell you I can't do a push up or pull up for the life of me. But knowing my upper body is holding me up while I swing around a pole, is pretty awesome. If nothing else, I will hopefully increase my upper body while having fun with some girlfriends. The class is awesome though. The teacher is amazing. It's very classy, not trashy at all. We laugh, make fun of each other trying new things...but all the while working some parts of my body that need some serious help. You know those "bye bye" arms we get when we are a little heavier than other girls, ya, those are going "bye bye" with this class! Check out Empower: Body & Pole Fitness if you live in the Central Maine area!!

I have still failed to get my a$$ to the gym though. Which I really need and want to do just for my own benefit and health. I feel better when I go to the gym. So I need to stop being so lazy and just do it!

That's all I have for now. Tonight is my second pole class night...and I'm super excited for it! Which is far from what I was feeling last week. I literally wanted to be sick before class. Then after I realized WOW -- I can do this and I only ended up with a few bumps and bruises on my legs!

Until next time...
