I realized this weekend that I am like Pigpen(from Snoopy) without the dust. What I mean is that I am so disorganized as an individual that I always have piles of "stuff" that just follow me everywhere. I will get to that later...
I know I have been focusing a lot on the Leaner portion of my resolution and it is primarily because I am on day 8 of a 28 day detox. So, being at a retreat I did not have as much control over my food choices. That being said, I did surprisingly well. I bent the detox both mornings by having a scrambled egg. Considering the enormous cinnamon roll, coffee, milk, etc., that I passed up, I reasoned that two eggs would not set my detox back too far.
I will say that I have been super charged in the energy department, which was a deficit in the sleep department for two nights. It literally felt like I had electricity surging through my body. Almost like I was withdrawing from drugs. I have read that the Standard American Diet(SAD) is like a drug to our brains, in the way they process it, like heroin. So, it makes sense that giving up my drug of choice, In-n-out burgers, is having an effect on my body as I detox. I guess that is why I am subjecting my self to this torture, just kidding. It has been a very beneficial process so far.
